Amazing food and great tour guide. - Loved this tour! Cristobal shares a lot of interesting stories about Mexico and knows all the hidden gems for places to eat in Cancun. My favorite part was when he took us to try some of the very interesting local fruits. My favorite was the zapote chica (sugar apple). We loved his tour so much we did a second one with him. But this time in Playa del Carmen. Book him!

Come for the food, leave with the memories! - Everything was seamless from beginning to the end. Starting with the quick response through WhatsApp from Jorge to discuss the tour, make payments and set up meeting points. Jorge was quick to respond to my inquiry and wanted to ensure that we would have a tour that we would enjoy. We ended up having a private tour with Cristobal and cannot say enough positive things about him! He immediately made us feel like friends spending an afternoon together while walking along the streets away from the tourist areas. We had two young children with us who did not initially want to try the foods. In spite of this, Cristobal made sure to include them and order them something he thought they would enjoy. He was patient and kind with us, while we stopped quickly in a park and took a little longer getting from point a to b with the children. By the end of the tour, he had the kids selecting fruits and gave them money to pay for the items. This was probably the best they had gotten along our entire time in Mexico! Cristobal brought us to a great shop to purchase local crafts at the end of the tour (at our request). At the end of the trip, he hailed and negotiated a great deal on a cab back to the hotel. The foods we tried (there was A LOT of them!) were all delicious! Tip: Come HUNGRY! Cristobal is clearly passionate about his work and knowledgeable about the history of the City. Overall, this was the best part of our time in Mexico! If you are even thinking about booking, go ahead and do it! You will not regret the experience!

Get off the resort for some REAL tacos! - This is our second tour with Chris. We reached out for a bit of a customized experience (we had a wide range of ages and allergies on the tour all together) and he did a great job creating a tour perfect for us. If you’re looking for a fun afternoon off the resort, this is a great way to eat some authentic food and learn about the unique history and culture of the Yucatan Peninsula.
