Walk central Cancun with a bilingual guide such as Alex, Enrique, Emmanuel, or Dreyken, stopping for carnitas, gorditas, quesadillas, sopes, fruit, juices, and frozen treats. This three-hour, non-alcoholic tour serves up to 10 people and returns to Mercado 28.

“Loved this tour! Each food stop was delicious and unique. I liked how it incorporated authentic dishes from Oaxaca and Yucatan. But what really made the tour great was my guide, Emmanuel, he was perhaps the nicest person alive, fun to be around and all around friendly. When I come back next year with my parents I hope that he is still doing these tours. My recommendation to future tourists considering this tour is to definitely go hungry!
