Overview

This four-hour gourmet walk with Eating With Carmen Food Tours pairs agave spirits with a progressive dinner across Playa del Carmen. You meet your guide at the corner of Constituyentes Avenue and 5th Avenue, then move between restaurants on foot, tasting food and drinks drawn from different regions of Mexico. The tour finishes at the corner of 38th Street and 5th Avenue.

One reviewer described a long evening in which each restaurant brought out several carefully plated dishes, from tender octopus in a dark recado sauce to a chicken-filled puff in green mole and a rice pudding topped with brûlée and passion fruit sorbet. That reviewer also said there was more food than they could finish. Beverages, including alcoholic ones, bottled water, and a full dinner are covered by the tour price.

The group is capped at eight people. The listing advises that travellers with heart problems or other serious medical conditions should not participate.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you get the most out of this tour, based on the listing and what past travellers have reported.

Come hungry. One reviewer said they could not manage to try all the samples because the restaurants served so generously. This is a full dinner with multiple tastings, not a light tasting stroll.
Comfortable shoes. The listing recommends comfortable walking shoes, and the tour moves between restaurants on foot along 5th Avenue. You will be on your feet between stops.
Small group feel. The tour is capped at a maximum of 8 travellers. One reviewer mentioned personal attention from the chefs at the restaurants, so bring your curiosity about Mexican food culture.
