The event was hilarious and fun! We had tacos, cervezas, a pit stop at a nighttime market, and front row seats to the luchadores. I really loved the fun atmosphere of this tour. The guide was awesome, and truly saved this tour from being ho-hum. I do not recommend being picked up by their shuttle if you are staying in Playa del Carmen. It took over two hours to get to Cancun, and a solid hour and a half to return. This is a fun night adventure if you are even remotely into Mexican wrestling!

It was by far one of the best experiences we had while our stay! Fun tasteful exciting, are of a few words I can say to describe the experience! Alcohol never ending food was tasteful and the two guys manning the boat where a fun time. I not only recommend it I can’t wait to come back and do it all over again!

I enjoyed the tour and loved seeing the real Mexico and how Mexicans live their everyday life by eating in the local restaurants, shopping at the market, and seeing their beautiful art.

Diego was a fantastic tour guide. He explained the food options well, and we tried many delicious street foods. I would highly recommend this tour!

Great tour guides, great food, great tequila! What more can you say!
