Great option for dinner!
Was great to go to places off the beaten path that I wouldn't have gone to without the tour. Loved all the bites and hearing more about the local culture

Amazing Taco Tour!
From the start both Marissa and Faustino were extremely friendly and communicative. During this tour we went to several life changing taco spots. From authentic Mayan tacos with the best daily handmade tortillas, to amazing Al pastor from a huge trumpo. Everything we had was delicious all while learning the history behind the dishes. At each restaurant we were able to each pick a drink, ranging from horchata to some amazing hibiscus drinks. While walking from restaurants to restaurant, you see some really amazing wall art and get to hear the history behind it. I would highly recommended this tour to everyone and would suggest you take the tour at the start of your trip as it gives you a great tour of the city with a local. Marissa was amazing and we would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone coming to this area!

Great evening for the whole family. Tasty tacos and local drinks.
Great experience for the whole family. Very personal, flexible and knowledgeable guide Tinofaus. We learned a lot about tacos and their different origins, but also many other things about Mexico, the population and the area. Really recommendable trip - also for children.

So fun!
This is a must! Our guide was so personable, knowledgeable and kind. The places he took us had such delicious, authentic tacos and finished with gelato. Just the right amount of time at each place. We got a chance to see parts of tulum and different things we wouldn't have had we not gone on the tour. Book this!

Tulum Taco Experience - Great Guide
We had a great time eating and exploring downtown Tulum with our guide, Faustino. He knew all of the best local taco spots and even took us for gelato for dessert. This was a nice laid back experience.

Must try!!
Tino was absolutely amazing. The taco spots that he took me to were all very delicious. He gave me a little tour of the area that we were in and provided me with so much information about the mayans, Mexico, and etc. Book this excursion you will not be disappointed

A delicious (and interesting!) tour of Tulum
Such a great tour of Tulum’s taco scene!! Faustino is an excellent guide and great to chat to - we managed to cover quite a range of topics on our tour!! He took us to places where we tried things we definitely wouldn’t have tried were it not for his suggestions and we’re very glad we did as the food is absolutely delicious. Overall, a fantastic experience, highly recommend it :-)

A sampling of great tacos
We had a number of great tacos of different styles. Mayan tacos, sinaloan seafood tacos, and Mexico's ever-popular al pastor tacos. Then delicious Gelato to round out the evening. Highly recommend.
