Andrea, but you can call me Andi
Completed our tour with Andi and she is amazing! I have a major disability with limited mobility and Andi made sure at no point my disability limited or took away from the experience. Every food vendor she took us to was great. She explained each meal very well, properly set expectations and always made sure we were comfortable and taken care of. At the end of the tour we had a thunderstorm and she made sure our ride accommodations were good. I'd recommend Andi 100x, she's the definition of a beautiful person both inside and out.

An Authentic Taste of Mexican Cuisine and Culture
This experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish! I had so much fun and truly loved every part of it, from exploring the local market to the cooking class.The market tour was fantastic, with delicious tastings along the way, a lovely walk around the area, and interesting stories about Mexican history and culture.The cooking class was definitely one of the highlights. The food was absolutely delicious, and I especially loved being welcomed into Romina’s home. Romina and her family were incredibly warm and welcoming and made us feel like part of the family from the very beginning.If you want to experience not only the food but also the warmth, hospitality, and authenticity of Mexican culture, I couldn’t recommend this experience enough.10/10 — an experience I will definitely remember and highly recommend to anyone! 🇲🇽❤️

Amazing food and experience
Words cannot describe how amazing the cooking and market experience was with Sofia. She showed us how she chose every ingredient and why it mattered to the recipe. We spent all day in her lovely home cooking with her and talking. She shared local history and it's impact on the cuisine of the region. We snacked on local fruit and amazing hibiscus tea through the day while we worked and learned. The meal in her charming and welcoming patio was well worth the work it took to put it together. Next time we visit we will absolutely be book another lesson with her. Thank you Sofia!

Chocolate and History
We booked this event as a treat during our trip to Tulum…and it exceeded expectations. We learned Mexican culture, myths and history, all while tasting and learning about cacao and chocolate. Sammy is passionate and knowledgeable. We loved it so much we may book one of her other tastings for our next trip.

This was a fun and educational class! It takes place in his home and was very welcoming and clean. All of the food supplies were ready for the class and he did an excellent job of explaining how to cook the food and shared all of the recipes so I can recreate them at home. The food was amazing!

The secrets of Uxmal, Cenote and home made food
FarAway462774, Mar 2026
Fabulous small-group tour with excellent, knowledgeable and very personable guide!
Absolutely wonderful! Hernan is a phenomenal guide who knows the history of Uxmal inside and out. He gave clear explanations of the structures and their many layers of symbolism, and also managed to squeeze in some birdwatching, which was fabulous. His knowledge of the Mayan culture and of birds is astounding, yet he himself is very relaxed and down-to-earth, plus very personable. Unlike nearby guides we encountered and observed on other tours, Hernan is totally down-to-earth and genuine, and often hilarious. The cenote visit was exquisite: completely natural, no crowds, and happily devoid of any commercial presence. All natural, all real. We loved touring with him and also the truly excellent luncheon prepared by a local resident nearby - a warm and friendly woman who prepared a delicious lunch. If you a seeking a relaxed, authentic, small-group experience with a fun and well-informed guide, I HIGHLY recommend this tour!

A fantastic day trip not to misd
Diego was a wonderful guide & our driver excellent. Diego was very knowledgeable and friendly. He did not rush us through and we had plenty of time on our own at Uxmal. I really appreciated how we arrived early before it was too hot and the large Tours came. I was able to get some excellent photos. The cenote was beautiful and refreshing. The lunch yummy. Highly recommend.

Highlight of Our Trip – Incredible Cooking Class
We took a cooking class with Silvestre, and it was incredible. The space was beautiful, and his teaching style was engaging and immersive. He has a wonderful way of explaining food in a truly sensory, memorable way. And the food was absolutely delicious. This experience was a definite highlight of our trip, and we can’t wait to come back and explore more of his offerings.
