What Travelers Say
5/5

"My wife and I were taken on a tour of several local food spots, explained the history of the food and how each was from a different area of Mexico all finding their place in Cancun. We all visited a local mural halfway through to let our stomachs settle and finished with a local market (not a tourist trap). We were very happy that drinks of different types were included at each location (local specialities and Mexican Coke). The tour as food and drink lovers was a highlight of our honeymoon! The tour guide Sasha was extremely knowledgable, friendly and thoughtful. We couldn’t recommend this tour and Sasha more. The transport with Alex was also air conditioned and very quick and felt very safe. We shared transport with a Greg and Deanene who were being dropped off for a food class and we found the vibes of the tour promoted friendliness and we’ve made friends to visit in America and viceversa in Scotland!"
"I truly enjoyed the Cancun street food tour, the transportation was flawless and great not having to walk to all the different stops. We got to try four different spot that had carnita tacos, birria tacos, Gordita and a sandwich which I forgot the name as well as a dessert popsicle. The guide was amazing and knew a lot of information. The street art was beautiful and the guide was great explaining. Shout out to G who was amazing and our driver. Overall 10/10!!"
"Tour guide G was excellent — personable, informative and organized. And our driver Alex was on point — pickup at my hotel was appreciated as it made joining the tour no fuss. This tour was a nice mix of learning about and trying some different local eats, as well as seeing urban street art/murals and wondering a local market. *Alex was great at accommodating my need for gluten free."
"We had a fantastic time. The guides were great to spend time with, the chosen stops represented food from all over Mexico and were really great, and the market walk was fun. Highly recommend!"
