Evening escape from the hotel zone 😊

Stuart_G, Jan 2023

Enjoying the public plaza and all the families and young people out and about at last. Also seeing the tacos being made from dough to press to griddle and the super delicious street food stand

A wonderful taco experience

Yann_C, Jun 2022

We were the only ones there with our guide Oscar bug it was fun and felt personal. We got to try lots of tacos n we were afraid we would be full after but it was more than filing. We tried local places and we tried places that seem to be catered more towards tourists but they were all delicious. The experience was something that I would recommend to everyone visiting Mexico.

Great way to experience downtown Cancun!

Natalie_T, May 2022

Great tour with Giovanni who brought us to several restaurants to enjoy one of our favourite foods, tacos! We got to see how fresh tortillas are made and even got a chance to help make some. It wasn't just a taco tour, but also a downtown city tour. Highly recommend this tour if you're looking to get out of the hotel zone and learn more about Cancun and see where the locals eat and enjoy their evenings. We came out of the tour feeling so full and barely had enough room for dessert! Highly recommend Giovanni. We were fortunate enough to get a private tour as one of the participants didn't show up. We chose an English tour but ended up having a French tour once we realized Giovanni spoke perfectly fluent French. We really appreciated that he helped us flag a bus back to the hotel zone at the end of the tour.
