Brilliant knowledge and great food - It ended up being just my partner and me on the tour, and our guide, David, was incredibly knowledgeable and knew all the best spots! We loved chatting with locals and experiencing authentic Mexican cuisine—highly recommend!

Loved this tour! Each... - Loved this tour! Each food stop was delicious and unique. I liked how it incorporated authentic dishes from Oaxaca and Yucatan. But what really made the tour great was my guide, Emmanuel, he was perhaps the nicest person alive, fun to be around and all around friendly. When I come back next year with my parents I hope that he is still doing these tours. My recommendation to future tourists considering this tour is to definitely go hungry! (This was my only meal of the day and I still couldn't finish everything) Drinks I had: Chaya drink 😋 Foods I had: salbute, gordita with nopales, tacos de canasta, clayuda and a paleta de fresa. There was something else I forgot the name too and another place I wasn't able to go to cause I got too full. I've been on a couple of food tours but this one takes the cake. Thanks Emmanuel hope to see you again!

Yummy seafood in PDC - We did a seafood tour of Playa del Carmen. The food was great, but for me the magic was our guide Emmanuel. He was kind, funny, knowledgeable and made us feel at home in this Mexican town.

Great food and street art tour - I loved everything about this tour, and it was a solo one which made it even more special. Henry was a delightful guide. I’m interested in street art so Henry took me to lots of art. The food was all delicious and I had a great time.
