A/C pickup and a small-group Cancun Taco Tour with skip-the-line tacos, cold Mexican beer, churros, and time at Parque de las Palapas.
“We were taken to 3 different restaurants and enjoyed delicious tacos at all 3. We also went to the night market and got a feel of downtown Cancun. I would definitely recommend this excursion.”
Eat real Cancun street food, then stroll Mercado 23 and spot murals. 3.5 hours, hotel pickup, and plenty of tastings for $64.
“The tour guide, Sasha was incredibly knowledgeable. We got a true sense of Mexican cuisine and the local market was great!”
Ride through Cancun by bus, visit El Meco ruins, shop Plaza 28, taste tequila and chocolates, snap pics at Playa Delfines, then return.
“Guides were average. Tour was just going up and down main roads with no real sights to see. Two stops, first one felt like we were entering a lions den. Followed and hassled by sales assistants for the whole time...massively over inflated prices...£150 for a cheap looking bottle of tequila. Second stop was slightly better but there was no museum...just a walk through to get to the shop. The tastings you had to seek out for yourself (both chocolate and tequila) No mention of a Double Decker bus so feels like we were misled on that.. previous reviews mention it was broke over a year ago!!!! Sounds dodgy to me.…”
Market shopping at Mercado Lucas de Gálvez, then a hands-on 3-course Yucatecan cooking class in a family home, with Uber back to downtown.
“It was educational and fun! A chance to shop in a market with Zulma to explain the produce, to taste great food and see corn tortillas being made!”
Cancun market visit and Mexican cooking class with fresh ingredients, a 4-course meal, and margaritas, plus convenient hotel pickup.
“G and Victor made the experience very pleasant. I would definitely recommend anyone who enjoys cooking to try it out. Make sure you have G and Victor as your guide!”
