Review of a full-day Cancun tour combining Chichen Itza, Mayan food traditions, Valladolid, and a cenote zip line.
“Great tour. We really enjoyed it. Too bad towards the end, it was raining so we could not see Valladolid. Also we left our Mayan birth calendars on the bus, and the company actually made an effort for us to get them back the next day! Thank you!”
Taste tacos, tequila, and handmade ice cream while exploring Puerto Morelos from Cancun on a relaxed, half-day food tour.
“This was not a tour. The guys were super young and were winging it. They run out of things to show us and we all wanted to leave. They said that we would have to pay extra to leave. The whole party with us refused and they finally called the bus to pick us up.”

“We had a great time tasting authentic Mexican tacos on our tour. Saul was very knowledgeable about the history of Cancun, national dishes etc. Saul was very kind and entertaining to say the least! Whether you’re a meat eater or vegan there are options for everyone! I highly recommend this tour. You can’t go wrong with Tacos and tequila!”
Taste tacos, tamales, cochinita pibil and more on a five-hour Cancún food tour with market time, local guides and urban art.
“Great experience with G and Angel. informative, fun, and well-rounded tour with varied and authentic food. However, I was somewhat disappointed that we didn't have more walking and experiencing the ambience of downtown Cancun. G mentioned a few times that it's a very walkable town, but...all the walking we did was 10min around the market. The urban art was to be seen from the van, so not great. I would rate the tour very well for its food variety, but very poorly on the walking/experiencing the vibe of the city part. Since this was a food focused tour, I guess it's our fault, but I definitely would have liked to…”
Review of Cancun’s 4-hour guided sightseeing, shopping, tequila tasting, and Mayan Museum tour, with practical advice on value and expectations.
“This is a sightseeing tour, with no sightseeing. I could’ve taken an Uber and saved my money. The “sightseeing” consistent of driving past a wealthy area, it was pointed out, “This is where the wealthy live,” and that was the sightseeing. The beautiful pictures of the beach? We went in the dark. We couldn’t even get into the parking lot with the van., because it was closed. took a couple pictures in front of the Cancún sign. The museum we visited? We didn’t visit it. When I complained about that I was told to look at the description. I read the description carefully before I booked this. The museum is…”
A practical review of Cancun’s taco tour, with tequila tasting, downtown food stops, pricing, transport tips, and honest advice on who should book.
“Sadly the street food consisted of 4 types of tacos, I’m certain there is much more to street food that that. Portions were good and flavourful, soft drink options were varied to. The most enjoyable was our third venue where we had a beef/goat broth and a filled taco to dip in to it. I wouldn’t recommend this as it was too repetitive.”
Taste five regional tacos, local beer, handmade tortillas, mariachi, and churros on a four-hour Cancun food tour with hotel transport.
“The pickup was punctual and we had great guides who brought us to places that were not crowded at all, just little gems. The tacos were tasting incredible and our guide Alexis knew everything about them. We had 3 different flavors and each restaurant served them with different sauces/salsas. Beers and alcohol-free beverages were always top quality and you were able to choose what you like to drink and try. Afterwards we ended our trip with a visit on a night market, which was amazing, too. You had the chance to walk around and get some nice typical Mexican desert. I have to say that I’m really glad we did…”
Taste Cancun beyond the resorts with markets, Yucatecan dishes, street art, and local guides on this small-group walking food tour.
“Dreyken was our tour guide and was GREAT! Lots of great information on the food, how it’s prepared and Mayan history. All the food was excellent and nice to find the downtown gems we would never know about”
Taste Cancun beyond the resorts with downtown tacos, Yucatecan specialties, tequila, mezcal, local drinks, and warm churros.
“The tour was fun and Antonio was an excellent guide/host. We would have liked a wider variety of stops. Plus serving 2 tacos per stop was too much food....it would be better to taste more places and only have to eat one taco at each place.”
Review of Cancun’s 5-hour sightseeing, Mayan museum, jewelry, crafts, and tequila tour, with practical advice on value and shopping stops.
“Não recomendamos este passeio. A proposta anunciada não corresponde à experiência entregue. O passeio acabou sendo direcionado praticamente a uma única loja específica para compras, o que dá a sensação de um roteiro comercial fechado, sem liberdade ou diversidade de opções. Além disso, não foi possível realizar o passeio completo, pois um dos principais pontos do roteiro — o museu — estava fechado, e isso não foi informado previamente nem compensado com uma alternativa equivalente. Esperávamos uma experiência de sightseeing mais ampla, cultural e bem organizada, conforme descrito na oferta, o que infelizmente não aconteceu. Pelo custo e pela expectativa criada, o passeio não atendeu ao que f...”
Taste five taco dishes, meet local cooks, and see downtown Cancun after dark on this small-group food tour with two drinks included.
“We were the only ones there with our guide Oscar bug it was fun and felt personal. We got to try lots of tacos n we were afraid we would be full after but it was more than filing. We tried local places and we tried places that seem to be catered more towards tourists but they were all delicious. The experience was something that I would recommend to everyone visiting Mexico.”
Pick a street, a market or a kitchen.
