Great way to get your bearings and try delicious foods - Very nice tour of downtown Tulum. We got to try 5 different places, all unique dishes, and some new things I had never had before! We went with Armando who was very engaging and taught me more about the Yucatán, which I really appreciated. Now I just want more salbutes!

Excellent tour - Our guide Armondo was amazing.
He was knowledgeable about all the
food stops and gave us insight into Tulum-things to do, places to visit
and shop. The food was excellent, local places we would have never found.
Each place was unique,
and so tasty.

Amazing food - Enrique was amazing and so knowledgeable about Tulum and its history. The food was delicious and we got to eat in places you wouldn’t dream of entering as a tourist, but it was the best food that I’ve eaten in Mexico.

Diego was awesome. He took us to delicious places we never would have gone to on our own. Interesting & local knowledge. - This is not a hands on experience with food. You get a variety of taco styles and interesting information about the food and the area. The tour is approximately 3 hours but the walking is easy and plenty of rest at each stop.

So fun! - It is very fun. If you expect to eat a lot, you won’t, but that is not the point of the tour… you will get to sample different and delicious tacos as well as get a history and explanation of the differences. We were with Armando and he was such a delight! Very knowledgeable and entertaining.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars isn’t enough - Our food tour with Diego from Carmen Food Tours was hands-down one of the highlights of our time in Tulum. The tacos and tamales were exceptional. Local surprises were authentic, flavorful, and clearly coming from places that residents actually eat.
Diego curated an incredible lineup of stops, each with its own story, tradition, and unforgettable flavors. Every bite felt intentional, and the experience struck the perfect balance between amazing food, cultural insight, and relaxed fun. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does—and it shows in the care he puts into the tour.
If you want to experience real Tulum through its food, this is the way to do it. Come hungry, leave happy, and expect to talk about these tacos long after you’re home. 🌮✨
Highly recommend Diego and Carmen Food Tours, we’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Get Clarification Up Front - I really enjoy these tours overall. I respect and appreciate that they can accommodate folks who have differing dietary needs.
What is really bad about this tour is that there is no room for actual inclusiveness. If even ONE person on the tour is vegetarian or vegan, everyone else is up a creek. NO one will get meet. That made for a very different experience, one I didn't sign up for, wouldn't have paid for, and I did not enjoy the experience like I thought I would. If it's possible, ASK beforehand if this will be the case. I was sorely disappointed, and feel like I missed out on a lot.
