Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Food tour was excellent. Panda was our guide and took us on a food tour where the locals go. We ate so much food I wish I had another stomach because the food was so good. Panda was very friendly and knowledgeable, making sure he answered all of our questions. Communication was excellent with directions and everything

If you’re an adventurous eater, this trip is for you!
Our tour guide,Panda, was so accommodating. If we asked about a certain food or treat he willingly bought it so we could try and enjoy. It was so great to have authentic Mexican food ie. Elote, Tamales, empanadas and fresh juices. We loved the experience. Getting off the tourist track for the night was so fun. We finished with a tasting of amazing tequila. Loved the coffee flavored one!!

We use food tours (around the world) to help us get to know the culture, food and find new places to eat (non-touristy) while visiting a new city/country. We enjoyed our (primarily) street food experience with David. Though we had a few hiccups finding our guide at the beginning, Sina took my call and all was well. This is a great way to start your visit to Playa del Carmen!

This is a MUST DO food tour when you are in Playa del Carmen. The guide (David) took us to authentic and quiet places to get real taco's, fruit drinks, ice cream, which was delicious. At the end a tequila tasting. He was friendly, thoughtful and told us about interesting food culture of Mexico.

Fun food tour of Playa Del Carmen. Do this on your first day so you can get familiar with the area. We made 6 stops and had plenty to sample...taco, tamales, drinks, gelato, and Marquesitas (a crepe with nutella and cheese-strange combination but very delicious). We had a group of 9 and had to taxi back to a set location. We went in 3 different taxis. When we arrived, we waited at the designated place and almost gave up on ever seeing the group again but finally the tour guide, David, showed up with his group...a small blip in the tour but it all turned out ok! Pricey but fun!

So we booked 14 days in Playa again this year for February as we loved it so much last year. Because we were going back again, instead of doing Christmas gifts for our family who travels with us, we gave each other "experiences". I found Food Hoppers on the internet and decided to buy my husband and parents an evening walking local food tour as their Christmas gift. We love food and we are adventurous so I thought "what the heck"! Ivan, our guide, met us near the bus station downtown and he took us on a 3 hour walking tour to different local and off the beaten path restaurants and food carts. He hand picked these places and as a native, knew what he was talking about. He was great about food history and adding humor as well. We loved him. Our advice......do the tour! Don't eat all day! Enjoy! At the end of the tour we experienced a tequila tasting and that was a blast even though I was so full I could have exploded. If you like authentic food and a unique experience that isn't full of tourists, I would suggest this and ask for Ivan. He is a cutie too! Hee!

A very informative tour of numerous eateries, ending with Tequila tasting.
A big thankyou to Ulises our guide who was excellent and had a lovely way of conducting the tour.
It was only us as a couple which was nice in a way but it would have been nice to share the experience with a few others with a couple of beers along the way too.
Also we had to wait ages at one venue to get served our pork dish, but the wait was wirth the flavours.
The previous night there had been 21 people on the tour.
Thoroughly tecommend this tour as bice to get away from 5th Avenue and see the real Mexican places.

We had a fantastic experience on the Mexican Street Food Crawl in Playa del Carmen! There were just two of us so it really was a private tour. We went to 5 different places. The food was excellent, and the amount of food was more than we could finish. Our guide, Tony (Panda), was really fun, agreeable and accommodating. We would recommend this tour to everyone.

My wife and I did the nighttime walking tour with Ivan and it was amazing! Best food in Playa, hands down (and we ate at lots of places). Be prepared -- this tour is not for the light eater. We put down over 8 tacos each, a Mexican hotdog, some Mayan/Yucatan food... and that was all before dessert. Couldn't recommend this enough!
