10/10 I would do this trip again. My advice would be to go for the 4 hour tour over the 2 hour version because it goes by very quickly. Everyone is unbelievably kind and you taken care of the entire time. If you are looking for a snorkeling trip where you don't have to plan anything, this is the one for you.

Meat-stuffed empanadas, shrimp tacos and sweet Mexican pastries are on the menu for this 3-hour culinary tour of Cozumel. Located off the coast of Playa del Carmen, the island is actually closer to Cuba than it is the Mexican capital, giving its cuisine some Caribbean flair. Get a taste of it with the help of a savvy guide who leads you to five local hotspots for samples of classic Yucatecan food, cerveza and agua fresca. Round-trip transportation from downtown is included on this small-group tour, limited to 12 people.

Inclusions: Food tastings at 5 locations, Drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), Transport by air-conditioned minivan

Exclusions: Hotel pickup and drop-off, Gratuities

My sister, cousin and I went to Josefinas home for this excursion while on our cruise. It was the most fun and we enjoyed learning how to make tortillas, sauces, black beans and much more. Then we got to eat everything. Yummy!!! It is located on trip advisor. Not a cruise excursion. Make sure when booking this that she only takes 8-10 people. Great day!!

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!

Our guide Sasha took us to four of his favorite taco places around Cancun and gave us a little history of the area. At each place we got a different type of taco and a drink. Afterward, we went to a local park with a street fair where we are churros and looked at the booths. It was a pleasant three and a half hours. Highly recommended if you want to sample what the locals eat.

Amazing food, culture immersion, fun and a cooking class as well! My husband and I had a terrific time on this tour and cooking class. I love to cook and this was a great class with also culture, stories and a a great time. Don't miss this as it gives you so much more than lunch. Nassim is so accommodating and kind. He is patient with those learning and will answer any questions you have if you do cook a great deal. I cannot recommend this tour enough. I wish I had more time to do the other tours they offered.!
