Great Street Food experience - G was really helpful, friendly and thoughtful. He explained how every single dish is cooked and what are his recommendations. We had a tiny group so he was also flexible with the times. A great experience and truly made me understand more for Mexican cuisine. You get to go to places you wouldn’t normally walk in or even notice they exist, but they all taste soooo good. Highly recommend!

Great way to try different local foods! - First of all, a guide can really make or break your experience. Sasha and Alex were absolutely wonderful, being completely genuine, exciting, energetic, and funny. The food was excellent (the carnitas at El Polilla were amazing), the travel time was minimal, and we were never bored over the course of 3.5 hours. I would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to try some local cuisine

No show!!!!! Threw our vacation schedule off!!!!! - The tour guide didn't show up. The email told us to wait at the hotel lobby at 9:50 am. We waited until 10:40 am and no one showed up. I called the tour operator's number multiple times but no one answered. I even asked the hotel to call as well. It shows no regard for people's time. A simple text or email to let us know that it's cancelled would have been the right thing to do. I caution anyone thinking about using this company, especially if you're on vacation with limited time in Cancun. Please refund my money!!!
