Excellent experience - We had a wonderful tour, it turned out to be a private tour with G and Angel as we were the only ones booked. We were taken to restaurants we would never of known existed. Tasted really lovely food and tried some local beers. Tour ran smoothly and was picked up on time In a very comfortable air conditioned van. Communication was good. We even had a tequila to taste.,
G’s knowledge and passion for median food was excellent. Really recommend this tour to have an authentic experience in Cancun.

FANTASTIC! - This was a phenomenal tour. We had spent 10 days on our resort in Costa Mejeures, and we wanted something to get us into Cancun and experience local food and the city. Transportation - we were picked up by Alex - collected us from the hotel and we were then taken to our guide’s favourite food spots around the city. Our guide, Jorge, was kind, generous, informative, and loving in his reasons why we went to specific food spots. We were fortunate enough to be the only two people on the tour, and he made it feel personal and unique to us. Every one was unique and the food was INSANE! It has changed the way I see Mexican food as a British man!

Taco Tour—5 stars - The taco tour was a great experience overall. Excellent food and drinks at authentic restaurants, much better experience than the hotel zone. Our driver, Alex, got us to our destinations quickly and safely. Our guide, G, was excellent! Very knowledgeable about the specific offerings (tacos, drinks, sides, and sauces) at each restaurant. He also gave us some nice background information about the restaurants, Cancun, and life in Mexico. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to get out of the hotel zone and experiencing something more authentic.

Incredible Food and Even Better Company! - First, let me start by saying that our guide Jorge was incredible! He was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. He shared information about the food, culture, and history of Mexico. It’s clear he takes great pride in his work and wants to share that with you! It was lovely to meet him and I learned so much from him.
Second, the food.. Wow. The menu was curated so other than the drinks, the food is chosen for you. This is a great way to get out of your comfort zone and try Authentic Mexican food! It was all amazing!! Every restaurant we went to was delicious, the staff were friendly, and the food came out very quickly. The variety was awesome.
I will note that if you have allergies or food dislikes, Jorge does take note of that before the tour begins!
Finally, the night market, was so beautiful! There was dancing, food, art, and souvenirs! It’s a great place to buy stuff to take home. Much cheaper and supports local artists!
Be careful up upcharging though! I was told one price and then he upped it right before I paid, only $5 but still something to be cautious of. Other than that, I loved it!! It was very family friendly so we felt safe being out at night with our guide.
Overall, I highly recommend this tour! If you want authentic Mexican and a look into some culture/history.. this is the tour for you!
It also helps that our group was so much fun. Meeting new people is always enjoyable for me so this was especially nice.

The food was incredible!!! It’s a curated tour so the meals are chosen for you and I thought that was perfect. Each meal was delicious and there was so much variety. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, this is it!!
The night market was a great way to wrap up the tour and an opportunity to buy local souvenirs.
I highly recommend this tour!

Just Book It!!! - This trip was so worth it! George was such a great guide. He recommended really good pairings. As someone who doesnt like beer, he made sure I got a great drink at each stop. Our group was small, but he made sure it felt like a party. I would book this again!!!
