The BEST Walking Food Tour in Playa del Carmen, Mexico
One of the easiest way to experience the dishes and cuisines when traveling is going on a food tour.
When traveling, what kind of foodie are you? Only local food? Do it for the gram? Play it safe and only eat the food you packed in your luggage?
When travelling to other cities and countries, I like to try the foods that are known within the region. Imagine going to Chicago and not trying their hot dogs; or Italy and trying their pasta nor pizza. I can almost hear the Games of Thrones "SHAME!" on that one.
For the adventurers, one of the best ways to experience local foods is signing up for a food tour. If check any travel guides, there will always be a section on food - what to eat and where to eat it. But going on a food tour is one step up, because you get an local insider information. Tip: Ask where the locals go to eat!
In Playa del Carmen, Mexico, I did a walking food tour with Eating with Carmen Food Tours. Why a walking food tour? The downtown area of Playa del Carmen is one of the cities most popular tourist zones and walking is the most convenience way of getting around. Also, it's an intimate way to get to know the area and supports local businesses.
