We were the only two on the tour, so a private tour! Our guide, Erin, was so informative telling us about all the peppers and spices used in the local dishes. We had some very tasty items but it was a lot of food, by the end we couldn’t eat any more. Overall a great experience
It was excellent. Loved all the food and drinks. It was a really nice variety. The tour guide was wonderful. Highly recommend this.
Erin, our guide, was knowledgeable and was able to change plans quickly when one stop could not accommodate us. Taxi felt like we were in the “Cash Cab” with the disco lights. Added to the experience! Food stops were great and delicious!!!
We had a fantastic time on our tour. Not only was our guide exceptionally knowledgeable about the food culture and history of the area, she readily answered all of our questions about the food, life in Cozumel, local culture, and we had just a great time with her! The food was delicious - we had pork pibil tacos, homemade juices and beverages, empanadas de queso, local chicken soup, pastries and more. Highly recommend!

Erin was super knowledgeable and friendly. Every where we went was family owned, off the tourist strip and not pre planned, as in the owners dont know if the tour is coming or not. So the food was fresh and ordered by us on arrival. All the seafood was amazing. Come hungry as its a lot in a short period of time.
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We’re very glad to know you enjoyed exploring Cozumel’s family-owned restaurants with Erin and appreciated the authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience. We’re glad the fresh seafood and local flavors made such a great impression. We completely agree; coming hungry is the best way to enjoy every stop! We truly appreciate your recommendation.
We were lucky enough to get a private tour and had such an amazing time. My partner is super picky and it was not an issue at all. Food was delicious and we learned a ton about the local area and food.

I can not rave enough about this excursion. Our guide was absolutely amazing!! My son said that was the best excursion we had been on. The food was amazing!!! It was awesome to see the market and how people on the island shop. The restaurants are off the main tourist area and are all locals that cook. If you are in Cozumel definitely book this. It is well worth your money!!!!!

More than enough food and authentic juices and drinks. Get away from the crowds and enjoy this authentic local experience with a very knowledgeable guide!
