Satisfying food tour - Come hungry! You get an entire portion at each stop of this tour. The guide (Alexis) provided great background on each of the foods we were trying. He was friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, and attentive. Each stop was the perfect amount of time and the pickup and drop off were seamless. Highly recommend this tour! (Note: our guide said there were 2 times for this tour - a morning and an evening - and they sample mostly different foods on each one.)

Best Food Tour in Cancun - Take this food tour if you are in Cancun. This company is dedicated to their employees and their employees appreciate it and provide excellent service to you. We were given a history tour of the area and our guide was familiar with all the food locations and alternates. I learned that the corn tortilla is the best ones to buy.
