Happy & Full - This tour was amazing! Noah and Daniel were exceptional and we definitely want to see them again. Booking was easy for a private tour of 9. Our only gripe was that our hotel wasn’t listed as a pick up option. We had to pay $50 to go two miles down to another hotel to meet the tour. Thankfully, they dropped us off at our hotel once the tour was over. Each food stop was near the other so by the time we got settled in the van, we were at the next stop. You should go on the tour hungry because we were so full after the first stop! We would have liked to taste a variety of Mexican dishes. We only tried different types of tacos. If you don’t love tacos, this isn’t the tour for you. However, we did have hot churros for dessert. They were to die for! All in all, the service we received from each stop was amazing, the food was amazing, and Noah and Daniel were exceptional. We had a 50th birthday celebration and two of the stops sang happy birthday! We hope to do this tour again on our next Cancun vacation.

Great food and great experience - The food was great, and José made us feel really comfortable during the whole experience. He was funny and not afraid to answer any questions. 10/10 would do it again with José.

Prompt Attentive Service - We were given a pick-up time at our hotel and told to be at the hotel entrance 15 minutes early. About 25 minutes before the pick-up time, the hotel staff called our room to let us know that our tour was waiting for us. We scrambled to get ready and rush downstairs. It was nice that they were not late, but 25 minutes early is a bit too early. The tour was supposed to be in English, but as both my wife and I spoke Spanish we indicated that we were comfortable with having the tour in Spanish, so we cannot comment on the English skills of the tour guide. My wife and I were the only people on the tour, and they had a driver and the main tour guide. We had a large van all to ourselves. The main tour guide talked non-stop and was doing his best to never have a quiet moment. He was, perhaps, a bit intrusively attentive and enthusiastic (but maybe that was because we were the only ones on the tour and he was trying very hard to keep us happy). Because we had a lot of experience with Mexican food, as we have lived in Mexico, I would not characterize the food as anything unusual for us. For someone not acclimated to Mexican food, the tour may seem like it is a novel food experience. It was good Mexican street food. We went to three or four places, all in close proximity to each other in the downtown area. At each place we would get a small item of food (a tasting taco or something similar). Afterward, they took us to a small outdoor nightly fair area to walk around the stalls and vendors. It was a pleasant evening. For someone unaccumstomed to Mexican culture and food, it would be a great, novel experience.

Street Taco Experience - Osvaldo and Hugo made sure my wife and I had a safe and fun trip across four different local street taco restaurants in Cancun. Hugo was knowledgeable about the restaurants and made recommendations on what to order and what’s best to order from each restaurant. Fish tacos were amazing and chorizo tacos were also really good. Other taco places were worth the trip. Make sure to come hungry because you will be bursting by the end of the trip.

Amazing tour! - Our tour guide was Osvaldo and our driver was Hugo. Honestly, the BEST taco tour. This was my first time trying this and osvaldo and Hugo were very knowledgeable. I appreciated that it was just my friend and I on the tour with the guides. Made it more personable and welcoming. The tacos were really good and fresh. Osvaldo tended to our dietary restrictions and had different options for us to substitute. We were also able to make tortillas at one of the restaurants!! If y’all gonna do a taco tour, do this one!

Great food - Very good food at all of our stops. We never would have found these local restaurants on our own. Our guide was very friendly and helpful

Didn't show up - I had to email them several times and never heard back. They did not show up to pick me up, so I'm giving them one star because I'm forced to give a star otherwise it would be zero stars. It might be a good tour, I have no idea because they did not show up. On a good note Viator did give me a full refund.
