This tour was with our guide Jonas at 10AM. Our family aged from from 9 years to 59 years were met by him and taken around some local taco places, plus juices/smoothies, tamale, mole and desert ice cream. The tour went around places without tourists but felt very safe. Jonas was brilliant with my 9 yr old son and helped with the group of six crossing the road etc. He was very knowledgeable about the area. He also took some very high quality pictures which were emailed to us after. Highly recommend this tour, if you are staying in a hotel outside of Tulum, getting a taxi is easy enough to the location.

There was a mixup about the meeting point ( who knew there were to Juanito Benito statues in Cozumel) but Tania, our cool and guide found us and we began our cooking adventure. The experience was excellent. Tania was delightful. The food was amazing. Great flavorful drinks. Fun to be in the market to get the produce and meat we needed for lunch. Very reasonable price.

This was by far the best part of our vacation. Alma was very informative and knowledgeable. We learned a bunch about Playa Del Carmen and the local traditions as well as how to prepare authentic Mexican dishes. We had so much fun, highly recommend!

Diego was a fantastic tour guide. He explained the food options well, and we tried many delicious street foods. I would highly recommend this tour!

We really liked seeing and tasting where the locals eat. Jonas was an engaging guide and we enjoyed him.
