Authentic Food Experience with Luis

5.00My sister and I took the evening food tour with Luis. It was a great way to see the city center all lit up as there was a carnival going on! We made many stops at authentic restaurants and the food was plentiful! Luis was very knowledgeable on the culture & local ingredients, we even visited a market during the evening. He also shared many culinary traditions. It was a pleasure meeting him and we would highly recommend his tour.
This was an amazing tour...

5.00This was an amazing tour with Luis. We got to eat delicious food in authentic restaurants that we would not have found on our own. And as well we learned a lot about Tulum. Luis was a wonderful companion for the evening. I would highly recommend this tour as an introduction to Tulum.

5.00What a fantastic and fun experience! Luis provided a wonderful tour of several off the beaten path restaurants, eateries, and food stands highlighting absolutely delicious local food, including some Mayan food, and the BEST mole I've ever eaten. Luis was a delightful and knowledgeable host, and a true gentleman. He helped this old gal by carrying my bag from our earlier shopping, helped my niece find an excellent tequila to purchase, and found us a reliable taxi to get back to our resort. We really enjoyed our evening with him. Would highly recommend!
Luis is the best guide....

5.00Luis is the best guide. We enjoyed and learnt so much from him. Great stops on the tour and really interesting conversations in between! We loved the first and last stops most. Traditional Mayan food and ending with Al Pastor tacos. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting downtown Tulum.

5.00We did the evening food tour shortly after arriving to Mexico, Luis was so friendly and accommodating that we booked another 2 tours with him! We got to see lots of the town and Luis gave lots of knowledge and information. We went to real local eatery’s and had some lovely encounters with the people we met - would highly recommend!
