Delicious, enjoyable, and informative tour!

My family and I had a wonderful time with John, our guide, on this Cancún taco tour in mid-December! We really appreciated that City Art Tours was able to accommodate our last-minute booking. All of the tacos we tried were delicious and John was fun to spend a few hours with. John was really knowledgeable about not only tacos but also Cancún and Mexico more broadly. We learned a bunch from him, and we left stuffed and happy. The evening was one of the highlights of our trip!

Fun, tasty and great for getting to know Mexican cuisine from the start.

Very cool experience to get to know the city of Cancun and the best Tacos. It is best to do this tour at the start, so you can recognize the best dishes and restaurants. Was a private tour (just for the two of us) with super friendly Mexican guide Michelle. Tasty, fun & relaxing.

Great food and great guide!

We were the only couple so we had a private tour! We were glad that the ran the tour anyway. Michelle was a great tour guide and answered all our questions. The food was great also. We especially liked the street tacos!

Evening escape from the hotel zone 😊

Enjoying the public plaza and all the families and young people out and about at last. Also seeing the tacos being made from dough to press to griddle and the super delicious street food stand

Tasty Tacos

This tour is great for sampling a variety of local ingredients. We ate 5 different tacos, had two drinks, and ended the night with freshly made and delicious churros. Our guide was Oscar, who was awesome and passionate about Mexican cuisine. He explained what everything was and what sauces pair best with what. We had a great time trying tacos from restaurants and taco trucks. Make sure to come hungry. We were stuffed by the end of the night. Oscar also showed us where to buy souvenirs for less than they’d cost in the hotel zone and helped arrange a taxi for us after. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking to get out of the hotel zone for a night. Thank you, Oscar!

Surprisingly varied

Our guide John was very knowledgeable about the area. He described the preparation of each meat and our options for garnish. Each place was unique and off the beaten path.
