Walking Puerto Morelos for $80: small-group street food, fruit markets, family restaurants, and Cristobal’s culture stories in 2-3 hours.
“I ended up being the only person on my tour, so I feel like I had a very personalized experience. I think a lot of other tour operators would have tried to reschedule me to go with a bigger group. Cristobal is an excellent guide. He’s very knowledgeable and easy to chat with. The main thing I enjoyed about this tour is you don’t just do nibbles at each stop, you get your own portion so you will end up eating basically a meal and a half. When they say arrive hungry- they are serious.”

Cancun taco and street food tour with tequila tasting, 5 tasty stops, and optional hotel transfers, great for first-time downtown exploration.
“I strongly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover Mexico of the beaten path. I am a huge foodie and coming to Mexico before I would always try to find dishes that were more authentic, but staying on all inclusive resort that can be a challenge. I was super excited to finally be able to try some authentic street food and our experience ended up to be 100/100. Small family owned restaurants and bigger Mexico known taco chains you will have a taste of all of those things. Our tour guide Miguel was amazing too. Just such a nice person and answered all of our questions. Totally happy…”

“The Guided Cancun Local Mexican Food Tour was an absolute delight! We’ve been to Mexico 5 times and this was the most authentic experience we’ve had. Enrique, our guide, was not only knowledgeable about the local cuisine but also passionate about sharing its flavors and history. From gorditas to traditional dishes, every stop was a culinary adventure. We even got to try a delicacy called Huitlacoche! Enrique's insights and recommendations truly made the experience unforgettable. If you're looking to explore Cancun's authentic food scene, this tour with Enrique is a must-do!”

Door-to-door Bacalar day trip from Cancun with Cenote Azul breakfast, pontoon ride on the 7-color lagoon, and lunch in town.
“The advertisement said English tour guide... Our best tour guide spoke very little English that was understandable and the microphone sound system on the bus was horrendous. Mostly just background noise could not understand what he was saying. The guide on the pontoon boat spoke zero English. Could not understand a single thing he said, got zero information during our tour. At one point we ask our bus tour guide for the simplest, easiest route back to the bus from a lunch stop (due to my severe ankle injury), he gave us directions that went up several flights of steps to a park area only for us to turn around…”
