Excellent, well run, very interesting and great food. - Truly excellent, Enrique was superb. Lot's of great chat and info, it turned into an impromptu graffiti tour as well.
The food was great and it was good to get off the main touristy strip.

Well Worth It! - The tour was a fantastic way to get acclimated to the downtown area of Playa del Carmen (PDC), away from the immediate touristy area and more into the “real“ part of PDC. Angelica did a great job of combining history and information with food. There was so much food; I couldn’t eat everything and I am an eater! Lots of fun surprises along the way. Downtown PDC charges pesos for the use of restrooms so you may want to tuck a little toilet paper and pesos in your pocket. We did go to one local restaurant that had a little bathroom that we could use for free because we were purchasing, otherwise the public restrooms are pay to use. You may also want to bring a hat or umbrella to shade you from the sun, good walking shoes, water, and tissues. There’s a lot of tour operators where you meet, don’t be intimidated: just keep walking around until you see the name of your tour on somebody’s T-shirt, or ask. Have fun!

Family fun - A wonderful experience with the whole family, sharing food, fun and laughter while getting to know the city and history. We planned the walking food tour the second day of our trip so we’d have ideas of where to return.

Great food, wear runners, it’s a walk. - Angelica was a great tour guide.
Lots of great info on the history of Playa.
History of food and spices in Mexico, and knowledge of where names like taco and burritos derived from.
The food was very authentic and incredibly good, especially the Mole, with a soft spot for the authentic quesadillas.
