Would highly recommend My boyfriend and I booked this tour and would highly recommend. The food was delicious and we got to try many different types of tacos and learn about the different cooking styles. I am not a beer drinker but my boyfriend enjoyed trying different beers. Our guide Diego was personable and very informative. Go on this tour!
