If you aren’t familiar with Mexican food this is a good tour for you. We visited a total of 5 food places and 1 dessert place. The guide was really cool and most of the food was decent but it was not really anything I hadn’t tried before. Overall I had a good time but I don’t think I’d do it again.

This was a really fun way to see Tulum in a less touristy way and enjoy some delicious meals. I was impressed by how much food the tour included - 5 little meals and a dessert - and our guide was friendly and responsive to our needs. The food did not blow me away, but I would recommend the tour because it was such a great way to get a feel for the layout of the town and try some local restaurants that are less catered towards tourists. Our tour guide also took pictures at each stop which was fun!
