We have gone on many tours, through a variety of companies, over our several trips to PV. This was, by far, one of the best! She knew the history of each restaurant and family we visited. The food was a delicious sampling of the staples in Mexican culture. She shared the many influences of other cultures on contemporary Mexican food. All in all a 10/10 for this tour.
