Playa del Carmen Walking Food Tour

Playa del Carmen Walking Food Tour - How the guide changes everything (and who you might get)

1.Playa del Carmen Walking Food Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,274 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $84Our pick

3-hour Playa del Carmen walking food tour with local markets, taquerias, street art, and an English guide for $84.65.

“I thought the variety, knowledge and amount of stops was good. Marcel was great, he had an answer for everyone's questions and extremely friendly. I had some of the best quesadillas, tacos and mole dishes I've ever had. There was a decent amount of walking which is fine by me but not too much. I'd recommend comfortable walking shoes like lost walking tours suggest. My only criticism is the cost. The overall price gauging in Playa del Carmen is relentless and this follows suit. It was more than $100 CAD and I think for the cost of the combined food and tour guide's time should be $60-75 CAD. This is…”

One of our favorite parts was snorkeling off the boat- We spotted a large school of blue tang, an enormous sponge, and a green sea turtle. Another favorite was exploring the pristine cenotes. Endless tacos were very tasty. Overall, our adventure was fun and exciting. Would highly recommend.”

Catamaran snorkeling at El Meco plus 4 hours on Isla Mujeres. Food, premium drinks, and roundtrip pickup from Playa del Carmen.

“We ended up having a good time but be aware this experience is not what the description says. Firstly there was mass chaos starting with getting picked up. Even though on my receipt it clearly says name of hotel they had the wrong location. Then we finally arrive in Cancun at the dock and there was now huge confusion to find our catamaran. The line was 30 min long. The crew was amazing! The tour guide that took us out was awesome! Took his time to make sure everyone was accounted for in the water at all times and waited for ppl to catch up! The description says boxed lunch…”

“Fun food tour of Playa Del Carmen. Do this on your first day so you can get familiar with the area. We made 6 stops and had plenty to sample...taco, tamales, drinks, gelato, and Marquesitas a crepe with nutella and cheese-strange combination but very delicious. We had a group of 9 and had to taxi back to a set location. We went in 3 different taxis. When we arrived, we waited at the designated place and almost gave up on ever seeing the group again but finally the tour guide, David, showed up with his group...a small blip in the tour but it all turned out ok! Pricey but fun!”

13.Playa del Camen Vegan Mexican Food Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 45 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $91

A small-group vegan Mexican food tour in Playa del Carmen with local markets, fresh fruit, and filling tastings over about 3 hours.

“I gave this experience 4 stars - 5 stars for our guide Emanuel who was wonderful, patient, enthusiastic and just exceptionally friendly, but 3 stars for the food. We visited 3 restaurants, a fruit stand and a frozen fruit/dessert kiosk. Of the three restaurants we visited, we all thought only 1 was worthwhile. It was called Plantivoros and the vegan tacos were stellar. It's not near 5th Avenue or any tourist area, so you'd have to go out of your way to find it, but it might be worthwhile to do so. The fruit stand was just a fruit stand, though there were a few fruits we'd never encountered before…”

The tour took about 2 hours and we walked through various neighborhoods with 6 stops total. 4 resturants, a fresh juice place, an an icecream/paletas spot. We loved it!! He knows the area very well and took us to local spots we would not have ventured on our own. We loved that he introduced us to Mexican food that some of us had not eaten before. We enjoyed seeing the murals as we walked around and he pointed out various points of interest. He was…”
