When the sun sets, the beach empties, and night falls over Playa Del Carmen, the city comes alive. Share the street with children at play and grandmothers sitting on their stoops as we sample Mexico’s nighttime specialties.We will show you the best food, tell you the best stories, and do our very best to keep you from eating until you explode (hey, it’s a harder job than you’d think!). Not only will you go “behind the scenes” and see the Playa Del Carmen not manufactured for tourists, you’ll also learn about Mexican culture and history, plus try the best tacos.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
