Free tours a Playa del Carmen

It was really interesting to hear the stories and meaning behind the things we saw. We had seen some of the things, such as street art, but the guide was able to tell us the story of each. I thought the tour was very informative and like all great 'free walking tours' gave us a locals perspective and some real insight. We were also given lots of useful information for after the your, and we had all our questions answered. Recommended..

Isabel was very kind and informative, sharing the history of Playa del Carmen, the culture, religious aspects, and food.

Ever was incredibly knowledgeable and also very patient. We took his Spanish tour and he noticed that our Spanish was rusty and would check in to make sure we understood key points. We especially recommended his advice for the best restaurants and Cenotes in the area.

As Playa del Carmen is quite small, and doesn't have too many monuments or points of interest, this tour not only visits those, some amazing murals, but also shows a lot of local businesses, we got to taste Mayan chocolate and typical Mexican candy and the tour company promotes sustainable tourism. The tour was great, and our guide, Isabela, was super interesting and nice. We had a small group of 3 people, which allowed to really exchange with our guide and with each other and ask lots of questions.

Muy recomendable

Excelente el trabajo de Isabel 10/10

If it is your first time in playa del Carmen then it is absolutely recommended. The tour learns you more than history, the tips for food, going out and so on are very interesting. Absolutely the top.

We were lucky enough to have the tour guide to ourselves and were both really impressed by her. She was informative, passionate, engaging and always happy to explain more or add detail where we asked. The tour itself was also very well considered, with a good route that made you feel like you really got to know PDC, and really thorough and interesting information about both the Spanish and Maya history of the area. We made a lot of stops at culturally significant buildings and locations, and many local small businesses that are working to benefit the lives of Maya people across Latin America. I really can't recommend this tour highly enough. Definitely a worthy way to spend an evening in Playa! We're made a lot of plans for our stay here based off the information we were given, both as part of the tour and from Isabel herself.

Amazing history of the Mayan people told by a passionate story teller. Took us to many out of the way places and had lots of facts to tell us! We loved it.

We really enjoyed the walk with Ever. He gave us lots of information and made some excellent recommendations for places to go and things to eat. He was also warm and friendly and a very genuine person. Many thanks Ever.

Very interesting tour of playa del Carmen, get to see interesting back history of some of the buildings, paintings, history and aspects of culture. Would recommend if first time in the city

Well worth taking this tour. You learn a lot about the culture and history of the Mayans today and in the past. Isabelle is very informative and thoughtful. Thank you for an amazing tour.

Eber was à very sympathic and interesting guide He shared all his knowledge and answered all our questions professionaly

We just completed a very enjoyable tour in Playa del Carmen. The host (sorry I can't remember her name) was so bubbly and eager to share lots of fun facts about PDC and the Mayan culture. I had been in PDC for 3 weeks prior to taking this tour and it was a highlight of my trip! Highly recommend!!

Astonishingly good tour. She made Playa del Carmen come to life, showed us things we would never have found on our own, gave excellent explanations. She's a first rate guide.

Muy buen guía. Atento y cordial. Muy instruido. Muchas gracias

Learned many things about the culture I didn't know. The stops were all good.

Isabel was a great tour guide! She gave us great history, fun facts, and included great local spots to visit. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about the local history and was a joy.

My guide was very nice and very funny. She gave a lot of information about playa del Carmen and history. She was also very funny I gave her a 10/10

My guide was friendly, energetic and had good English. We walked for around 1.5 hours. There were only two of us, so it was more like a walking chat, which was great! The content was heavily focused upon visiting local businesses and now to support the local economy, rather than the history per se, so good if you want to identify places to buy souvenirs to support the local economy and places to eat. I didn’t learn anything regarding the local history of PDC. We tipped 200 pesos which was the recommended amount. I enjoyed this walk.

Ever tiene muchísimo conocimiento. Aconsejo hacer este tour nada más llegar para que luego no sea ver más de lo que ya has visto. Enseña muchas cosas que si no te las enseña no sabrías qué están.

If you have a chance do it

The tour was great, I learned a lot.

Isabel is a gem of a tour guide! I was the only one who attended but that was great because I felt I was given a more personalized tour of PDC. I would definitely recommend!

Met with Isabelle (I think that was her name, sorry if I got it wrong!) She took us to a few places and we learned a lot about the history of Playa Del Carmen and its people. Obviously the centre is quite a small place so the stops were limited but she pointed out some places that were less touristy and would support locals, which was exactly what I was hoping for.
