Showing 17 activities · Sorted by traveler rating
Food and culture tours round out a Tulum trip with the part of the Yucatan you cannot ride a quad to: the kitchens, markets and Maya traditions. Street-food walks in Tulum town and Playa del Carmen taste tacos al pastor, marquesitas and fresh agua frescas with a guide who explains each dish. Tequila and mezcal tastings pair the spirits with their history, and some tours visit a Maya family for a traditional cooking class or a temazcal steam ceremony. These experiences run smaller and slower than the adventure tours, which makes them a good rest-day choice or an evening after a morning in the jungle. The tours below are ranked by traveler rating and value.

- Are food tours suitable for vegetarians?
- Many are. Yucatecan cuisine has plenty of vegetarian options like marquesitas, fresh fruit and bean dishes, and most operators adapt the tour if you tell them in advance.
- What is a temazcal?
- A temazcal is a traditional Maya steam ceremony in a dome-shaped lodge, led by a guide who uses herbs, heated stones and chanting. It is a cultural and wellness experience, not just a sauna.
