Total gem of a tour! - By far one of the best food tours we’ve ever taken (and we’ve taken A LOT!) Armando was incredibly knowledgeable and easy to spend the evening with. We felt like we were with a local friend, enjoying their local favorite eateries (and he really does eat at these spots!) We liked the way each location had a reason for being. Tamales at one place tacos at another. This is a real locavor experience. Some delicious hole-in-the-wall gems that you’d probably never try otherwise. Ours was the evening tour and we ended at a popsicle stand. I would never have stopped there, but I’m so glad that Armando did. If you’re a foodie, book this tour! And make sure you come hungry! There’s a lot to eat on the streets of Tulum!

Good food tour - Good tour, nice guide, great food Visit 5 places for a taco or equivalent in each with backstory and other interesting info and history. All places you would not wander into and try yourself. Don’t expect Michelin stars - think more plastic plates and chairs and dining with the locals!

Delicious food and amazing authentic experience - My wife and I had an absolutely amazing experience on this food tour. The price was well worth it to get to try all the authentic foods and be shown to the best places that a tourist would never end up at. The length was perfect with an easy amount of walking for an in shape person. Prepare to be full by the end of the tour. From the authentic Mexican dishes to the amazing authentic Mayan dishes it will ensure you try something you hadn’t before. Armando our tour guide was the best at making sure we stayed safe and got served in a timely manor but also answered any question we had about the city and the history of it. I give Armando a 5 star review as a guide. Will be recommending to all of my friends that go to an area with this companies services.

The best tour we took in Tulum - Such a great experience. Armando was an amazing guide. We learned so much and had so much great local food. If you love local food and culture you need to book this tour. I just wish they ran tours in every city I visit. I would take it every time.

You need to do this tour if you like local food and culture - This was one of our favorite things we did in Tulum. Such a great guide and such amazing local food. I really want to find similar experiences for every city we visit. Loved getting a local guide and going to places outside the typical tourist/influencer places.

Eat the REAL Tulum - This was one the best food tours I’ve ever taken. Our guide Armando was kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. He not only explained the local cuisine but helped us navigate the town as tourists. One of the unique highlights is that we got to visit a market where our guide showed us the ingredients used in the food we were eating. If you want to eat REAL Mexican food while you’re in Tulum and support local businesses please, please take this tour. Absolutely delicious!
