"Maya was so awesome! She was really nice and very knowledgeable! She is fluent in both English and Spanish, so she is a great choice for non-Spanish speakers. I got a lot of food ideas for my bachelor getaway! I would definitely book her again! Thank you Maya!"

Amazing Local Food Tour
"We had a great time with Maya showing us all the great local places to eat. Everything was delicious and we made sure to come hungry! By the end of the tour, we were so stuffed. This is a great experience if you really want to learn and eat what the locals eat. I love how quick everything was too! Definitely a must try."

Great experience
"You get so much during this food tour! We were totally stuffed by the end of it. Maya was very knowledgeable and flexible with our tour and even let us stop to do some shopping and helped us make a dinner reservation at the end of the tour. Would really recommend this for a foolproof way to eat great food and learn more about GDL"
"We had a really enjoyable time with Maya. It was very varied, from the Cathedral through a series of beautiful squares to the biggest market in South America. We saw a stall selling hugely expensive saddles, exquisite embroidered belts, medicinal herbs or herbs said to have magical powers. Fascinating. The walk was tailored to what kinds of things we wanted to see based upon an often used plan."
"Maya was quite flexible in that she agreed to delay our tour by 30 minutes to minimize the impact of rain on our tour. She provided an excellent tour of the Guadalajara downtown area. She highlighted many points of interest and gave us tons of background information and relevant historical details. She was personable and chatted independently with each member of our group as we wandered around. This was an excellent tour and I would highly recommend Maya as a guide."
"Maya was so awesome! She was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was also a great way to see Guadalajara. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting!"

Great tour - and delicious food!
"Maya was easy to book and communicate with, and our tour was super fun. She was flexible, and created a tour that very much met our needs. We tasted so many different things, and she was always helpful with all the questions we peppered her with. It was a great intro as our first day in GDL. Definitely recommended! "
"We had a great experience exploring historic Guadalajara with Maya. She made it an enjoyable learning experience. Highly recommended. Her English is flawless and made the experience great. "
"My partner and I had an incredible time with Maya. She crafted a wonderful, thoughtful food tour that was as informative about the city and history as it was delicious. Maya is so friendly, not to mention knowledgeable, and was very communicative in the days leading up to our meeting. She's an absolute expert about Guadalajara and the food scene there. We hope to take another tour with Maya someday! "
