Great experience! - We had a perfect tour with Marcel as our guide. We took the 10 AM tour and by the end we were stuffed of delicious food and drinks and got some produce for the home. Our goal was to eat authentic Mexican food, away from the tourist traps and that’s exactly what Marcel provided. My advice, other than to take a tour, is to set it up early in your stay as it gives so much information about where to eat!

Highly recommend - Loved the variety of food and the history of the culture. The best food to me is definitely the mole enchilada and the street tacos. Amanda is very knowledgeable about the city and it is nice to see the art work in the downtown.

Awesome Mexican Seafood and Tacos - Abbey was great! Very much enjoyed our walking seafood tour in Playa. Ceviche with shrimp, octopus, and snails at our first stop was awesome. Highly recommend if you’re in Playa del Carmen.

Experience made by the guide - This tour was a great way to try lots of different dishes and learn the history behind them with the differences from area to area . Our guide Emmanuel really made the experience special for us and went above and beyond the whole time ( literally sprinting to the shops to buy drinks for people when thirsty etc ). He had the perfect energy and humour for a tour guide and is a great asset to the company. It was 3 hours and I felt we had enough time at each stop and wasn’t rushed , the walking wasn’t particularly far between each stop either and by the end of the tour I was full.

Playa del Carmen - The tour guide was excellent! Equally talked about food and history of the area. One spot he took us to was my favorite. Chorizo tacos!

Family vacation - We signed up for the food tour on our recent trip to Playa del carmen. It was a wonderful experience and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Unfortunately we all got terribly sick that night, so sick that we almost needed a hospital visit. Thankfully I was able to find a nurse to come give us ALL IV fluids at our resort. I WISH I had exchanged contact information with the other people on our tour to see if they had gotten sick too, because I can’t definitively say it was from the tour but it was the only food we ate that day. I would suggest maybe exchanging contact information with people on your tour just in case anyone gets sick you can confirm if it was in fact from tour or something from your resort
