The Secrets of Uxmal, Cenote, and Homemade Food
Everything about the tour was amazing. We were picked up at our Airbnb, and we arrived at Uxmal right before they opened. We had the place to ourselves for quite some time. The guide was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. The cenote was beautiful and refreshing after a hot morning, and our meal was delicious.

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! 🇲🇽❤️

Wonderful Week in Yucatan with Historic Sites, Diving, Flamigos, and Great Guide (Hernan)
We stayed at a private home in Merida for the first week of June and had a fantastic guide from ToursByLocals - Hernan E. -- who spent 5 days with us and also picked us up from the airport and dropped us off a week later. We visited 9 Mayan sites -- including Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Ek Balam, Kabah, Sayil, and Labna (on the Ruta Puuc) and Coba - and to Celestun for the flamingos and a beach-side lunch and to the Pink Lagoon for swimming in salty pink water. He was one of the best guides I ever have with ToursByLocals (or any other tour company) and I recommend him without reservation to anyone seeking to explore the Yucatan! We spent one day diving in the Cenotes as well with a diving organization. We'll be back. Marjorie (Jorie) Roberts and Daryl Dodson, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands

If you are looking for a genuine Mexican, Yucatan, experience this is it! My friend and I had such an amazing experience. We didn’t just cook but we learnt about the food and origins. Best of all it was in his home, Carlos was knowledgeable, warm and funny. A unique experience I will never forget.

Sophia was fantastic
Sophia was great! She welcomed us into her home and gave us a great overview of her family's history. She then took us to the market and to the Tortilleria to watch them make tortillas using a machine. We then went to her house and cooked all of the recipes listed in the description and then some. She was fantastic and it was great to spend the day with her. She provided us all with the recipes and images of the food we made so we can make them again at home.

PRIVATE Merida Market Tour & Yucatecan Cooking Class with Sofia
heathergG4828JN, Apr 2026
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!
