★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 816 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $89Our pick

Taste Cancun beyond the resorts with four taco stops, Mexican beer, churros, downtown sights, and roundtrip transport for $89.

“We had an awesome experience on this taco tour with Gib and Alex! Every restaurant we visited was authentic, and the food came out quickly. Gib was great at setting expectations before each stop, especially when it came to spice levels, which we really appreciated. Beyond the food, the conversations made the tour even better. We learned a lot about Mexican history, cuisine, and local culture, and it never felt rushed or scripted. By the end of the tour, we were completely stuffed. The churros at Parque de las Palapas were a perfect way to finish, and we loved having time to walk around the area afterward. Highly recommend this…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $82

Taste Alicante’s Central Market, local products, and tapas bars on a generous 2.5-hour food tour with drinks and a small group.

“The best food tour we’ve ever done — the quality was outstanding and you actually eat! The market came alive through Rebecca’s stories, and every tasting was incredible — real local products, beautifully explained. The tapas stops felt like hidden gems, nothing touristy at all. The portions were very generous, and by the end we had enjoyed a full, delicious meal, not just small samples. A high-quality, authentic experience from start to finish. If you want to truly taste Alicante, book this tour!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 2 hours · from $99

Review of Tokyo’s private Tsukiji food and sake walk, with temple history, wagyu, tamagoyaki, tea, dashi, and four sake pours.

“I really liked the tour guides we had. They were very upbeat, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable and genuinely interested in us. The only very small criticism was that they did not make clear what food was free at the market. The sake tasting was excellent and so were the scallops. Overall a really enjoyable day.”
