Great local food experience - Great local experience just what we were looking for. We’ve been to the Cancun area all inclusives many times but wanted to explore the local culture. Hotels couldn’t get us what we wanted TripAdvisor did. G and Alex were great from the time they arrived at our hotel. We had a group of 12 so the van was full (little warm but heat index was over a 100 that day). Had 3 great different restaurants and a fun dessert experience. The murals were a great local art opportunity. The History G shared and explanations of the food prior to each stop were amazing and thorough. It’s a must do experience.

good food, good guide, good value! - Had a great morning with Alex and G. G gives you great insights into local history and the history of the Murals which was really interesting. One of the food stops was closed for a deep clean after the hurricane and G was quick to put an alternative plan in place that meant we didn’t miss out. The food was fantastic and the benefit was that it was where all the locals eat. Two words of caution… go hungry to get the best experience and if you book through TUI take a close look at pick up time. TUI voucher said 10am in hotel lobby but Cancun street food voucher (in a separate email) said 9am. Don’t hesitate to book.

Must-do Food Tour of Cancun - Sasha and G did a fabulous job. G communicated well, prepared us for each next stop, and offered a very fun experience. Every stop was a little different and provided a great tour. Sasha was a fabulous driver and was always very helpful getting in and out of the van and navigating the.

Robbed - I payed for transportation with this excursion. The driver never showed so I initiated a refund. They refused to refund it to me stating they couldn’t and all avenues have been investigated thoroughly, but if all avenues have been investigated thoroughly, they would have seen that the discrepancy was on their end and refunded me my money, which they did not stilll to this day choosing to not refund so unless you’re paying cash at that site, I would not recommend, highly disappointed
