“The Cancun Market and Cooking Class with G, and with Alex as our driver, was an amazing and authentic experience. G was incredibly helpful and informative, guiding us through the local Mercado and explaining all the ingredients we’d be using in our class. He shared the history and cultural significance of the dishes we were preparing—enchiladas, tacos, and tostadas—which made the experience even more meaningful. I really appreciated that G catered to my vegetarian needs. During the class, we made pico de gallo, guacamole (easily one of the best I’ve ever had!), and even prepared our own tortillas from scratch. It was hands-on, fun, and absolutely delicious.

I just wished it was more about that without wasting more than two hours in over priced souvenir stores - it felt as if I spent money to be brought where I can spend more money while I knew where to buy souvenirs that are not that overpriced. The first shopping stop was one hour (too much) and then we were supposed to visit the Tequila museum with some Tequila assortment, but it was just a small room with a 3 minutes video…”
