Tacos and Marquesitas Tour Cancún: Street Food and Palapas ParkA two-hour food tour of Cancun led by a local guide in English or Spanish, starting at Palapas Park and moving through downtown taco stands, a taqueria, and a seafood restaurant. You taste six different tacos—street style, al pastor, chicken, shrimp and fish, plus vegan options—with Jamaica or horchata, and finish with marquesitas or Mexican street corn back at the park. Minimum age is 16; the tour is wheelchair accessible and suitable for all fitness levels.Is it for me?Book this if you're based in Cancun without a car—your guide navigates to Las Palapas Park and takes you directly to the taco stands, so you taste multiple regional styles in one outing rather than hunting them down separately.
Cancun: Taco Tour, Local Beer & Night Market with PickupYou’ll taste five kinds of tacos across Cancun’s best local spots—no lines or waiting—paired with Mexican beers and stories from your guide. From smoky cochinita pibil to churros at a buzzing night market, expect laughter, new friends, and flavors you’ll remember long after you’re home.
Mexican Cooking Class Cancun: Learn with Fresh IngredientsA 4-hour Mexican cooking class in Cancun where you shop the local market with a chef-guide, select fresh ingredients, then prepare a full meal using traditional tools and methods. The class covers guacamole, handmade tortillas, enchiladas, sopes, refried beans, rice with milk dessert and a margarita you make yourself, finishing with the dishes you cooked. Pickup from your hotel is included with the market-and-transport option; class-only is available without it.Is it for me?Book the class-only option if you can reach the kitchen on your own and want to focus on cooking without the market stop. Choose the market-and-transport version if you want to see how locals shop for ingredients and prefer pickup from your hotel included in the price.
Cancun: Downtown Taco Tour, Tequila Tasting & ChurrosYou’ll taste Cancun’s real flavors on this downtown taco tour: street corn by Palapas Park, Yucatecan salbutes with punchy salsas, legendary fish tacos, a friendly tequila tasting session, and hot churros to finish.

Cancun Hands-On Mexican Cooking Class: Learn 4-Course MealA hands-on Mexican cooking class in Cancun where you prepare a 4-course meal (5 dishes and 2 drinks) under the guidance of a local English-speaking chef using traditional tools like a molcajete, comal and clay pots. The class runs 3.5 hours in a private kitchen at an iconic Mexican restaurant. You learn grandmother's cooking secrets—how to choose avocados, when to add peppers, what local markets know—so you can recreate these dishes at home without struggling.Is it for me?Book this class if you're cooking alone or with a partner and want to actually make something, not watch someone else do it—the private kitchen and step-by-step instruction mean you leave knowing how to recreate these meals at home, not just having tasted them once.
Cancun: Yucatecan Cooking Class in Local Home & Unlimited DrinksYou’ll cook classic Yucatecan recipes side by side with locals in a real Cancun home—tasting as you go, sipping unlimited margaritas, and sharing laughs around the table. Expect hands-on lessons from your host Lucía (plus her market tips), easy-to-follow recipes sent after class, and an afternoon that feels more like visiting friends than taking a tour.
Cancun: Small Group Cooking Class at Chef’s HomeYou’ll join Chef Alberto in his Cancun home for a relaxed cooking class where you’ll shape tortillas by hand, grind fresh salsas, and share stories over a homemade feast.
