Unfortunately I was a bit let down by the tour with Héctor, especially after it being recommended by so many people. I'd previously done tours with Gio and Fatima and they were both AMAZING - great fun, heaps of food and in depth discussion of recent history and Q and A (and with groups of 5-8, instead of 20+). Maybe we got him on an off day, but Hector didn't really provide that much apart from visiting a couple of food stalls and then sitting at a coffee shop doing some Q&A. He also says often he has groups of 30-40, even with 20-25 it was way to big to navigate the market comfortably. Also, we all put in about $5 (seperate from the tip) for the food - and for that we got to try a couple of small bites, some granadias and some juices.. Whereas with Gio we managed to have an entire feast putting in the same amount each. As I say, this just could be an off day with Héctor, as he is clearly a very experienced guide - but from my personal experience I'd recommend Gio or Fatima if you only have time for one tour in Santa Ana!

Response from Hector
Thanks for the review. Just to clarify a few things. This is a free walking tour, not an all-you-can-eat buffet. The food contribution is shared and decided by the group, not a fixed menu or guaranteed feast. Group size is explained at the start, and we always ask what people want from the experience. Nothing is hidden. Markets are crowded, loud and chaotic by nature. That’s not poor planning, that’s reality. Also, recommending other tours in a review of this one isn’t really relevant. This review is about this tour. Feedback noted.
