Overview

This is a three-hour walking food tour of Playa del Carmen run by Parcours Gourmand, a pair of guides who lead you to eight tasting stops around the city centre. All the food is included in the price: you eat your way through the stops without paying again along the route. It runs as a private activity, so only your own group takes part.

The evening starts at Parque Los Fundadores on Avenida Benito Juárez, in front of the white church, and the guides ask everyone to arrive ten minutes early. From there the route works its way through downtown, finishing at the Palacio Municipal on Calle 8 Norte. That end point puts you within easy walking distance of Fifth Avenue, the beach and the ferry pier, which makes it simple to carry on with your evening afterwards.

Because there is no hotel pickup, you make your own way to the meeting point. The tour suits travellers who like the idea of a guided meal with a local angle and are comfortable being on their feet for the duration. Gratuities for the guides are not included.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points to know before you book this walk.

Timing. The tour starts on time at 5:00 PM and lasts three hours. The guides ask you to be at the meeting point ten minutes early, so plan to arrive before that.
Getting there. There is no hotel pickup, so you make your own way to Parque Los Fundadores. The meeting point is near public transportation, which helps if you are staying outside the centre.
Finding the guides. Your guides wear a cap with the Parcours Gourmand logo. Meet them on Avenida Benito Juárez, directly in front of the white church.
Food and drink. Eight selected gourmet stops are included and all tastings are covered by the tour price. Gratuities are not included, so budget separately if you wish to tip.
Group feel. The listing describes this as a private tour or activity, meaning only your group participates. Pushchairs are allowed and service animals are welcome.
Accessibility. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, according to the listing. Most travellers can participate, but expect to be walking for the full three hours.

Common issues. The main limitation is accessibility: the listing states the tour is not wheelchair accessible, and it is a walking tour lasting three hours. There is no hotel pickup, so anyone staying far from the centre needs to arrange their own transport. Gratuities are excluded from the price. The tour also has a firm 5:00 PM start, and late arrivals risk missing the group at the meeting point.
