It's was only my wife and myself so I was a bit leary, but I had a wonderful time. Johan took us to some amazing spots. The food was delicious and he was great.

Panda was an amazing tour guide! He provided us with history of the food and origins. Although it was a rainy day, the food was great and did not take away from the awesome experience provided. Ask for Panda he will make everything alright and get you the food the locals eat.

We had a blast doing the walking taco tour. Bring you appetite, there is a ton of food. And an awesome variety at that. Our guide was wonderful. One of our friends was very hungover and he went out of his way to get her soup and a beer to help with her hangover. You can’t go wrong with this tour.
