Tour por el mercado alimentario Si eres un amante de la comida te recomiendo que visites este tour. Fue increíble. Cristóbal mi guía turístico fue muy amable y tiene tantos conocimientos cuando se trata de la cocina mexicana. Tuve tacos callejeros y empanadas hechas desde cero, sabían genial y frescas, algunas frutas mayas, bebida etc. , También caminamos por el mercado donde me mostraron diferentes especias y muchas otras cosas

A delightful and surprising experience Cristobal is a wonderful person who turns the tour into a truly immersive experience. What surprised me the most was that he not only talks about the history of Mexico in general but also delves into its different states and how their history influences the local gastronomy.Throughout the tour, he takes us to various restaurants and taquerías, allowing us to savor flavors, textures, aromas, and the essence of places rich in tradition—featuring recipes passed down from generation to generation.The group I joined for the activity was very diverse. I was fortunate to meet two wonderful people from Canada who shared my love for food and my curiosity about the place. I realized that, despite having very different lives in every way, food has the power to unite cultures and people.Beyond being a guide, Cristobal is an exceptional host who ensures that everyone feels included and valued throughout the experience. I was truly amazed!

What an experience!! Cristobal was our guide and was outstanding!! So knowledgeable about the origin/history of each dish. Lots of walking between “hidden gem” restaurants that are off the “beaten path”. Cristobal would explain everything outside a particular restaurant and then we would go in and enjoy. We then moved on to the next one. Difficult to pick a favorite as they were all so unique. Highly recommend! Would absolutely do again!

Great activity for a cloudy morning Spent a cloudy morning sampling delicious food. Cristobal is a great guide and shared some stories about the family restaurants and stands we visited. The frutaria had the sweetest grapefruit I've ever tasted.

A Magical and Unforgettable Food Tour in Puerto Morelos The Puerto Morelos Foodie Tour with Chris was an absolute delight from start to finish! Exploring this side of Puerto Morelos was an adventure for the senses—every stop brought new flavors, textures, and stories that made the experience truly special.From the flavorful Sinaloa chicken to the zesty Aguachile, and from the perfectly seasoned sirloin tacos to the rich and savory al pastor, every bite was a revelation. Chris was not only knowledgeable about the cuisine but also inquisitive and engaging, making the tour feel collaborative and immersive.One of the best parts was the camaraderie—we laughed, shared our own food traditions, and connected over our love for great flavors. Along the way, we learned so much about the Yucatán region, the deep-rooted history of Mexican cuisine, and the cultural significance of each dish.This tour was magical, special, and fun in every way. I can't recommend it highly enough and would gladly do it again. If you're visiting Puerto Morelos, this is an experience you absolutely cannot miss!

A must do!! A must do!We were hesitant to take the tour because we weren't sure about the local food and this was our first trip to Mexico, but we are so glad we did the tour with Cristobal, he was very enthusiastic, sharing the history of the Puerto Morelos and Mexico. He is very personable and in every place we visited told us the explanaition of the delicious food we sampled. You can see the nice relation ship he has with every vendor. It was truly the highlight of our trip. If we coul give 10 stars we would do. Don't hesitate and take the tour.

¡Lo hice de nuevo! Totalmente recomendable ¡Lo hice de nuevo! Totalmente recomendable. Bueno, volvimos por más y definitivamente nos quedamos muy contentos de que Chris nuestro guía lo cambiara por nosotros, así que visitamos nuevos lugares, con nueva comida, por supuesto todo muy sabroso. Chris nos contó más de la historia del pueblo y cómo está relacionado con el resto de México. En cada parada se tomó el tiempo para contarnos lo que estábamos comiendo cómo se hacía y algunas historias de las familias que servían la deliciosa comida, qué delicia, incluso tuvimos algunos de los chismes por la ciudad. Gracias Chris por otra gran noche. Esto es una visita obligada si usted está en la zona.
