Excellent PDC Experience ! - Francisco’s tour is a must do in PDC. He is very insightful about the history of not just PDC but Mexico. He was able to answer all our questions and introduced us to a lot of excellent food destinations. It was excellent value for the money, and incredibly personalized. We came on this tour wanting to learn from a local and understand the heartbeat of the town and Francisco put his entire heart into the tour. I would highly recommend on all levels. Thank you Francisco!

Fancisco is Excellent and so is the tour! - Francisco was an amazing tour guide. He showed us parts of PDC we would have never found or thought to venture into. We had so many food options and opportunities for seconds at multiple stops. We learned about the history of Mexico and PDC, and also new changes that are happening. Francisco even walked us to the shopping area we wanted to go to, waited while we exchanged our money, and gave us tips while shopping in the area. Francisco is really your friend in PDC. Take the tour you won't regret it at all!

Superb Food Tour!!! - Francisco’s food and history PDC tour was amazing! Let me begin by saying we have been on many food tours across North America, and this was our favorite thus far. We learned so much and ate so much also! He’s super knowledgeable of the area and history of the area, as well as of all the food! Everything was so delicious, it was so hard to decide which was our favorite! If I had to choose it would probably be the el pastor tacos, one of the best things Ive ever eaten! By the end of the tour we were so stuffed all we could do was go back to our resort and hop into the bed! We can’t wait to come back again so that we can do his cooking class with him! This is a definite MUST DO if you are traveling to Playa del Carmen! Thanks again Francisco!

Food and cultural tour of Playa Del Carmen - We toured with Francisco in Wednesday, February 5, 2020. The food experience was wonderful, and Francisco gave us an amazing amount of information on Mayan culture and the history of Playa Del Carmen. We really enjoyed our tour, and would highly recommend it!

A Must Do! - When I first booked this excursion, I did not know what to expect, I just knew that when visiting Playa Del Carmen, I wanted to experience food from the area as well as learn about its history. Little did I know that I would learn so much, not just about the food and history of playa del carmen but the food and history of Mexico, different traditions and more. Francisco was an excellent tour guide and he speaks excellent english . He is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. You should bring an open and eager mind as well as an empty stomach because you are guaranteed to be stuffed by the end of the tour. I learned so much about actual traditional Mexican food and made a friend in the process!
