Highly recommend

Great food and guide! We would not have experienced authentic tacos if not for this tour. The kids enjoyed this so much, they thought it was one of the two best things they did in Mexico. It was initially stressful to find the guide because the Uber driver dropped us off in a different spot. I'm glad the operator was available in the chat and Alex, our guide met us where we were.

The Best Guide- Delicious Food!

Alex was amazing! He was so knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk too! It was just my husband and I on the tour, and we left feeling like friends! We appreciate his hospitality and kindness during this tour. 10/10!

We had an awesome time...

We had an awesome time with Enrique! Learned so much about the history of Cancun and the Yucatan area, and got to try so much amazing food. Enrique made us feel like we had known each other for years right from the start.

Angelica was wonderful....

Angelica was wonderful. Personable, knowledgeable, and kind. We had a lovely time tasting so many different Mexican foods and learning about the history of the country and region. I cannot recommend this experience enough.

Great Food Tour in Old Town Cancun

We had an excellent Food Tour in Cancun and really enjoyed our experience with our guide Diego! I usually do a Food Tour in every city that I visit and this one was a great way to see the old town of Cancun and taste some excellent dishes that you may not otherwise find at your hotel. Highly recommend.
