Discover the Cancun most visitors never see, through its food, local culture, markets, and neighborhood life. With a small group, follow your local guide beyond the Hotel Zone to family-run food spots and places that are part of everyday life in the city.
Taste your way through Mexico with carnitas, barbacoa, Mexico City-style tamales, and a traditional Yucatecan salbute, while discovering the stories and traditions behind each dish. Wander through Mercado 23, one of Cancun’s traditional local markets, then explore colorful murals and street art in a local neighborhood.
And come hungry! With our Foodie Guarantee, if you’re still hungry at the last food stop, more is on us. Finish with a handmade Mexican popsicle — with more than 40 flavors to choose from — for a sweet ending to your morning.
