Wonderful! - Enrique gave us a wonderful tour of the local delicacies. He also took our special requests into account. We had lots of delicious dishes that were served where the locals eat. A great experience! And even those who are very hungry will go home full.

Exceeded our expectations! Good value. - Our tour guide, Dreyken, was wonderful! He was knowledgeable about the food and local history, and he was fun, interactive, and so personable. The food was amazing. He took us to little "off the beaten" path places that we never would have found on our own, and he made sure that we were taken care of in each place. Delightful tour! We will go on that tour everytime we are in Cancun.

Dreyken added the knowledge sauce - Dreyken was excellent and as interesting as the food. His historical background and stories on Cancún and the food that we sampled was insightful.

Informational day and great food! - We had a great few hours with Dreyken leaning about much of the Mexican cuisine as well as Mayan history. We explored many downtown locations we would never have found on our own and the food was terrific! Dreyken was a great tour guide - lots of knowledge to share as he was raised here. Great option while in Cancun.

First food tour ever - AMAZING! (And not only because of the food) - While visiting Cancun and the neighbouring areas, I found out regarding “Eating with Carmen” food tours. The guys launched their new tour in Cancun and I decided to give it a chance and have my first food tour ever, given their high ranking and comments. WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. I was generally expecting a tour that has to do with food, but the experience was much more than that. The guys have prepared a 2-3 hours tour, where you have the chance of: (a) learning about local history, (b) learning about local food habits, (c) walking around the city centre and of course, (d) taste authentic Mexican food on local restaurants that you really cannot find on your own. All these for a really competitive price that includes the food (which is a lot, 6/7 stops!) I could not neglect to comment on our fantastic guide, Juan, who was very passionate and helpful! I look forward to returning to Mexico and do the other tours as well, especially the PDC one! Highly recommend!

The Best Local Food 🌶️🌮 - This food tour was so fun! I was a little hesitant to do a food tour for a long time, I thought it’d be too touristy and I love local food. BUT IM SO GOAD I DID— I was blown away!! It was such an authentic experience and gives you the opportunity to navigate the local food scene with confidence. I have been to cancun so many times before this but taking this tour allowed me to see a part of the town I had never seen before. The food was amazing, excellent. Both for me a vegetarian and the other people on the tour, there was a wide variety of options and it’s such a cute part of town. I learned so much about Mexican Cuisine and my tour guide was actually the best! 10/10 would recommend and would go again many many more times! These guys rock!

Good food tour - Was a good tour except for the 2nd stop. Found the pork dry with only spicy sauce offered. Guacamole would have been A good alternative. Dreyken was a great guide. Except that he said he would send us pictures. It has been a week and we haven’t seen anything. That’s disappointing.
