Valuable tips for the rest of your trip - We were given a tour of the best eateries with the real Mexican food from Guide Johan. He talked passionately about his Mexico and we still benefit from his tips in every other place we go! He speaks good English, also talks about the culture and we were able to ask him all kinds of questions. Tip: make sure you are hungry 😀

Fun eating activity, especially with kids / adolescents - Super nice to get to know the local food and eat in places where you might not normally sit down. Also fine for adolescents. They immediately get to know Mexican cuisine.

Great Food, Great Conversations, All Around Great Time! - Ulises is the best! He's super friendly, and showed me a great time around the real Playa del Carmen! The food was delicious, and the conversations and tequila were smooth and plenty. Would highly recommend this tour and Ulises specifically.

The best tour and guide - Our guide Oly was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable, and made the tour a ton of fun. He was super accommodating being willing to skip stops (it was just myself and my husband), and being willing to stop to grab water as we were still adapting to the Mexico humidity. We would do this tour again!

10/10 Would recommend. - My partner and I had an amazing time with Ulises. He was so down to earth and knowledgeable and very friendly. Our group was small and made it feel intimate and we were all able to share stories of our culture as well as learning about Mexican food and culture.
The food we tried was all amazing and the tequila tasting at the end was the perfect ending. It was great getting to know all the little hole in the wall spots that tourists typically wouldn't know to patronize. The tour was well paced and didn't feel rushed.
10/10 would recommend.

To Much of a walk in the heat for us Ladies!!! - Ulysses was amazing!!! However, we were not prepared to do the amount walking! That was the big part! Alot of the areas we were going were far apart and couldn't finish the tour because we were so far away from our original destination and didn't want to get lost going back.
