A definite must do. Ended up being a private tour with just my husband and our guide Coco. Coco was an excellent guide- he was so knowledgeable about not only the food but the culture. The best part of traveling is learning the food and culture of where you are visiting and getting out of our comfort zone's at the resort- this tour is a great way to do that. All the food was delicious and we learned so much- about mole, the fruits and vegetables, saw some great art and learned how Playa Del Carmen has changed. Best was the tacos at Chicharroneria Teresita- just a great explosion of flavors and textures. Take this tour- you will be happy you did

We had a fantastic time touring the local market and multiple authentic restaurants. No Señor Frog’s or Cabo Wabo to be seen! We had mouth-watering quesadillas, tacos, pozole, delicious fruit we had never tasted before and the best ice cream I’ve had in ages. Xantal was a phenomenal guide!
