Summary:
This Taco Tour is a great representation of the hidden gem locations of the Mexican food scene in Naples, FL. Liz, our driver & guide, did an excellent job of showcasing a nice curated selection of some delicious food tastings. The amount & quality of food were perfect.
Coordinating a pickup & drop off at our house was so convenient and accommodating our party in the luxury SUV was perfect. The 3.5 hour duration flew by but the pacing of the stops was perfect to allow for the just right amount of buffer time between tastings.
I would highly recommend this tour to those visiting Naples as well as locals of Naples looking a great way to eat at some Mexican restaurants you might not have considered visiting.

Summary:
Weather you live here in Naples or vacationing- you will have a great experience - from the personal attention from Liz and her cheerful personality, having such a great understanding of the restaurants and their menu - chauffeuring our group around in a nice, comfortable vehicle. Everywhere we went the food was out of this world - friendly service - and topped it off with yummy ice cream. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Summary:
We attended this tour as a scouting exercise for our lifestyle program - and what a delight! Elizabeth is personable and fun! And boy, does she know her food!
All the stops were interesting, and I especially loved the fact that Elizabeth had us try things we would not have ordered on our own!
The bonus factor was we were joining three ladies from NY and they were wonderful as well! Overall, it was a really fun night! Can we do it again??? LOL!
