Great way to explore Tulum with our family - A fun way to explore the town and its culture. The guide was great - friendly, knowledgeable, interesting, helpful, and kept an eye out for everybody’s safety. We had two kids in our group and all kinds of different food restrictions (vegetarian, pescatarian, everything-except-onions-itarian) and the guide handled it all without blinking an eye. Plus the food was delicious!

Great food! - Excellent tour and great food! Visited 3 different restaurants packed with locals, plus smoothie, plus a frozen popsicle, plus local art, plus fruit market.
Only suggestion is if the portions could be much smaller. One taco rather than two. Cut enchilada into smaller bites so can be shared. Too much food made it a little hard to get excited to keep going to the next stop.

Excellent Tulum food tour - Wonderful experience. Angel was a really good guide. One of the elements we loved the most was that he took us off the main beat to where the locals eat, which we wouldn’t have been brave enough to do on our own.

Guides Were Highlight! - Best part was the informal conversation with the guides! It was fun to chat with them walking between restaurants. I learned a lot about Mayan history and current culture.

Great way to eat your way through Tulum - Loved learning about the different types of tacos and history of Yucatà n
I wish we had two desserts and one less taco
The group was really looking forward to trying authentic churros but the popsicles were bomb. I had the pineapple tajin and my one cousin had the coconut both were so good.

Great tour - Took the food tour with Luis. The guides were great, food interesting and worth the price. We made 6 or 7 stops. The only downside is that downtown Tulum is very run down and the town is not appealing to walk through. Loved all the rest!

This tour does not follow the itinerary. - This experience didn’t follow the itinerary, especially with not visiting the famous taqueria honorios. The bigger problem is that our tour guide did not tell us this until we had to ask him. If we didn’t ask him he would never have told the group any of the changes he wanted to make on his own. We chose and purchased this tour because of the specific restaurants that were listed in the agenda. Oh well!
