“It's a walking tour so wear comfortable shoes. The tacos and ice cream were amazing. There is plenty of souvenir shops around to buy things. Our host Aldo was amazing. He is a great photographer, very friendly and patient, and a awesome tour guide.”
Cancun evening taco tour with hotel pickup, skip-the-line tacos, cold Mexican beer, churros, and night market time at Parque de las Palapas.
“We had an awesome experience on this taco tour with Gib and Alex! Every restaurant we visited was authentic, and the food came out quickly. Gib was great at setting expectations before each stop, especially when it came to spice levels, which we really appreciated. Beyond the food, the conversations made the tour even better. We learned a lot about Mexican history, cuisine, and local culture, and it never felt rushed or scripted. By the end of the tour, we were completely stuffed. The churros at Parque de las Palapas were a perfect way to finish, and we loved having time to walk around the area afterward. Highly recommend this…”
Taste real Cancun street food across carnitas, tamales, barbacoa, salbute, and paletas, plus Mercado 23 and Bonampak murals.
“It was a wonderful tour. Our guided Adrian was super sweet and attentive. He told us about all the good spots to go eat, gave us some amazing alcohol beverage recommendations. I swear that was an amazing drink. He has really good food option for you and gives you an estimate of how far your hotel is from these stalls in case you wanna visit again. He’s even willing to let you get a bit of extra food if you’re still feeling hungry and cover you there which is really sweet. That’s totally not his job to pay extra for us, which speaks volumes about his character. He’s really a…”

4-hour Cancun taco and local beer tour with hotel pickup, 5 taco tastings, churro dessert, and mariachi at night.
“The pickup was punctual and we had great guides who brought us to places that were not crowded at all, just little gems. The tacos were tasting incredible and our guide Alexis knew everything about them. We had 3 different flavors and each restaurant served them with different sauces/salsas. Beers and alcohol-free beverages were always top quality and you were able to choose what you like to drink and try. Afterwards we ended our trip with a visit on a night market, which was amazing, too. You had the chance to walk around and get some nice typical Mexican desert. I have to say that I’m really glad we did…”
