Angel was my guide. It was a great tour. I got to try food and drinks that I have never tried before- even with my multiple trips to different parts of Mexico. Everything I had on the tour was delicious. I don’t eat pork or beef and Angel was able to tailor the tour to my food restrictions.

The food tour was one of the best we could do! Oure guide Pepe was very charming and did tell us a lot about "his" city Cancun. The food places he took us and the recomendations he made were on point. Deliciuos Mexican food and prepared by locals! Totaly worth doing this tour! Muchas Gracias por un Dia Mervelioso Pepe!
