The experience

Three hours on foot through the small streets of downtown Tulum, stopping at five different spots to eat vegan versions of Mexican dishes most travelers never find. You start with one of the least-known vegan dishes in Mexican food, then move to a local fruit market where you'll see the exotic fruits and vegetables grown in this part of the Caribbean. The guide is bilingual and walks you through the history of the region and the city as you go, pointing out the urban art along the way.

The stops themselves are the draw: vegan tacos and tostadas made at one of the best spots in town, then vegan tamales, then traditional desserts to finish. Fresh water and natural juices come with the tour. Groups stay under ten people, which means you're not herding through the streets with a crowd. The guide can actually talk to you and answer questions about what you're eating and where it comes from. If you want to go private, the operator takes those bookings too.
