Within 5 minutes we were having a fabulous taste of pork cooked under ground all night with beautiful sauces and spices. Chris was a wonderful food and tour guide. The most interesting part of the tour for us was the link between the people of Mexico , their origins and the traditional cooking from different parts of Mexico who ended up here in Yucatan. The history lesson was fabulous. If we could leave Cris a 10 out of five we would!…”

During transport, I was hoping to receive information about the city, but the guide was actually on her phone 75% of the time. That was not pleasant at all, and I would not recommend that excursion. Better to take the bus yourself.”
