Great experience!! - What a great tour with Ulises! We have been to some local places, where you will never come without this tour. We have been in Mexico for 2 weeks, but never had taco’s as good as we had with the streetfood tour! I can recommend everybody this tour. It was a nice tour guide and a good way to know the real mexican food!

Fantastic Tour, great friendly guide, very tasty food. - Ulises is a great tour guide! Very friendly, made us feel at ease right away. Explained how everything we were going to eat was made and where it came from originally. The Birra was the highlight of my wife’s, but for me was the Cochinta Pibil, I recommend adding the pickled onion in hot sauce.

Great Eats in Playa del Carmen - It's was only my wife and myself so I was a bit leary, but I had a wonderful time. Johan took us to some amazing spots. The food was delicious and he was great.

Fun experience - We’ve had a lot of fun with Ulises in Playa del Carmen. He showed us interesting foodspots you wouldn’t get to normally. He’s a fun guy to hang out with and highly recommend this experience if you love to try OG Mexican food. You’ll have plenty of food during this trip

One of the highlight of our vacation! - It was me and my husband with Uli. Felt like we were meeting a friend who's just touring us around and just kept taking us to the best food places! The experience was very personal, very thoughtful and extremely delectable. Heart and tummy is full!

Great to get off the beaten track and eat where the Mexcan people go 🇲🇽❤️ - A very informative tour of numerous eateries, ending with Tequila tasting.
A big thankyou to Ulises our guide who was excellent and had a lovely way of conducting the tour.
It was only us as a couple which was nice in a way but it would have been nice to share the experience with a few others with a couple of beers along the way too.
Also we had to wait ages at one venue to get served our pork dish, but the wait was wirth the flavours.
The previous night there had been 21 people on the tour.
Thoroughly tecommend this tour as bice to get away from 5th Avenue and see the real Mexican places.

Delicious and filling! - It was wonderful to be able to taste foods from restaurants that the locals like to frequent. It was all so delicious. We stopped at 5 different places and the last one was dessert. You will end the tour well fed. Our guide was very friendly. The only thing I wish he did was tell us more about the community as we walked through town or as we waited for the food.
