Delicious, enjoyable, and informative tour!

My family and I had a wonderful time with John, our guide, on this Cancún taco tour in mid-December! We really appreciated that City Art Tours was able to accommodate our last-minute booking. All of the tacos we tried were delicious and John was fun to spend a few hours with. John was really knowledgeable about not only tacos but also Cancún and Mexico more broadly. We learned a bunch from him, and we left stuffed and happy. The evening was one of the highlights of our trip!

Evening escape from the hotel zone 😊

We had a great time trying tacos from restaurants and taco trucks. Make sure to come hungry. We were stuffed by the end of the night. Oscar also showed us where to buy souvenirs for less t...read more
