“The biggest problem with this trip was our guide was on drugs or something. His eyes were all hazed over, and he had issues walking. At first, we thought we would just go along with the flow ..we made it to the tequila tasting which they wanted you to buy but wanted you to pay 4 times the actual cost. Our guide stepped away after that event, and when he returned was worse than he was before. We then politely said we were done for the evening and did not finish. When I complained they offered us $30 for the last two places we didn't visit. I and my friends…”

Spend four hours tasting five taco varieties at three Cancún restaurants and a night venue. Guides such as G, Alexis, Angel, and Hector explain the food, sauces, and local culture, with beer, handmade tortillas, churros, mariachi, and hotel transport included.

“G and Angel were amazing guides, really made the tour excellent sharing their local knowledge. The beer was great and the tacos were delicious - recommend you take G’s advice at each place because he did not steer us wrong, I don’t usually like a bitter or a dark beer but they were so smooth and complemented the taco flavours so well. The night market was also a special end to the tour with a great local vibe, music and dancing with delicious Churros. Thanks G for the great tour!”
