A 3-hour Mérida walking food tour with 8 local tastings in markets near Plaza Grande, led by local guides in English.

“I had a wonderful time on this excursion! The driver and guide were wonderful, and made the experience as thorough and thoughtful as possible. We started off the day at 6 am where they provided us with sandwiches and coffee. We then proceed to Chichen Itza and got there right when it opened. There was zero crowd and we got to take amazing pictures, along with a tour. We then went to a family own cenote - one of the prettiest I have ever seen -followed by a traditional meal afterwards. We ended the day at the yellow town, which was also pretty (although not as pretty as the ruins…”

“I really enjoyed everything that we got to try. When asked which was my favorite, I really had a difficult time choosing! We were only 4 people on the tour and our guide did a fantastic job explaining what we were eating, as well as what we were seeing in the market. I absolutely will go back and try to find some of those places, again!! Thank you, thank you!”
A small-group 3-hour Playa del Carmen food walk with big portions, local tacos and mole, street art, and handmade popsicles.
“our guide Mario was really good and full of local knowledge. the food stops were amazingly good. I really think the price of the trip was to high for what you got. other than that it was great”
A 5-hour Cozumel catamaran to El Cielo sandbar and Palancar Reef, plus a private beach with lunch, unlimited drinks, and water toys.
“A super trip which exceeded our expectations, it was really well run with a great combination of activities. Relaxed and happy atmosphere on board with the crew being generous and attentive throughout. It being a very windy day there was perhaps less to see underwater than usual but spotting dolphins on the way back more than made up! The only change would be, if it were a longer trip, to have more time to enjoy the stunningly beautiful beach stop.”
Cancun to Isla Mujeres party cruise with reef snorkeling, waterslide and open bar, plus breakfast and fajita lunch.
“Not as fun as we expected. We debated between the Dancer boat and catamaran snorkeling trip. We picked the Dancer because we were looking to dance and have fun. Unfortunately, there weren't many people on our boat, the drinks were not strong, and each stop felt rushed.”
From Merida: Chichen Itza, Ik Kil cenote, and Izamal in one day, with pickup, Ik Kil entry, and buffet lunch.
“OMYGOSH! We had a fantastic all day excursion. Our guide Anel was extremely knowledgeable about the ruins & history of the Mayans, Toltec & Aztec people. We loved her! Our driver Johnny was so pleasant. His first month with the company. They both took care of us all day long. I can’t say enough about what a wonderful experience we had. Thank you so much Anel and Johnnie! You are the best!”
Walk Puerto Morelos on a small-group food tour with Cristobal, tasting family favorites, tacos, fruit, and more, all included.
“This food tour was excellent! It was great to learn about the history of Puerto Morelos and how that influences the mixture of many cultural foods and restaurants in the town. Our tour guide Cristobal was fabulous! We enjoyed every restaurant and going to the market trying local produce was really great. I highly recommend this food tour!”
