Overview

This half-day walk pairs eating with sightseeing across central Playa del Carmen. You meet the guide on 20th Avenue between 8th and 10th Streets, outside the Solidarity government building, then spend roughly 4 hours moving between restaurants, sampling traditional dishes from several regions of Mexico. The tour ends on 5th Avenue at Quinta Alegria Shopping Mall, a central spot close to major shopping. A local guide leads the way and the tastings, taxes and fees are covered in the price.

Vegetarians are catered for, provided the requirement is stated at the time of booking. The group is capped at 10 travellers, with a maximum of 6 per booking.

Transportation to and from the attractions is not included, so travellers make their own way to the meeting point, which sits near public transportation. Alcoholic drinks can be bought along the way but are not part of the package, and gratuities are left to the traveller.
