Highlight of our time in Playa Del Carmen. - Our tour with Enrique was an absolute delight! He whisked us away from the bustling tourist traps of Quinta Avenida and into the vibrant heart of local Playa del Carmen. As we strolled through the charming streets, Enrique regaled us with fascinating tales of the area's history and culture. His passion for food and Mexican heritage was infectious, and we were thrilled to discover hidden gems that we would never have found on our own. Enrique's preparedness was truly impressive. When a sudden downpour threatened to dampen our spirits, he was ready with Pancho's ponchos for everyone, ensuring we stayed dry and comfortable. This unexpected twist added an extra layer of adventure to our culinary journey. We can't recommend this tour enough. It's the perfect way to experience the authentic flavors and culture of Playa del Carmen.

Great Insight into Mexican Food - Henry was a great guide showing us real Mexican dishes that were delicious! We were so full at the end we couldn’t even manage the last stop! He gave us recommendations and we even went to some extra stops like the market where we tried Prickly Pear. If you’re in Playa do this tour!

Don’t hesitate, just book! - Amazing food tour with Marcel. He was such a good tour guide and offered tons of local knowledge. We stopped at 7 places for a variety of cuisines, from Tacos, Quesadillas, Fresh fruit, flavoured water, mole and finally ice cream. It was a fantastic way of seeing the lay of the land and the parts of the town that you wouldn’t usually stop at. Food was excellent, our group was a made up of 2x2 people. Would highly recommend! Tour lasted just under 3h and started and ended by the ADO bus stop.

Just as good the 2nd time - This was the 2nd time we have taken this food tour. We were fortunate to have Alex as our guide both times. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the region as well as the food. We had a good time and ended the night very full!

Great food, great friends, amazing experience - Marcel was an awesome guide; not only did he take us on an exploration of some of the "local" spots, we got history of the area and learned a bit of Spanish along the way. Definitely be prepared to pace yourself, its quite a lot and its all so good! we look forward to coming back and trying all these places again! Thanks Marcel!

Abby is great. Some stops were meh. - Abby is an excellent guide. She was perfect for this tour. I'm disappointed in two of our stops. We went to a produce stand and an ice cream shop for popsicles. I felt these could've been replaced with local cuisine. The food at the other stops was excellent. It seemed like the produce stand and ice cream shop were filler.
