Experience the best of
Playa del Carmen with Withlocals

"We had a fabulous food tour with Sonja today. We had plenty of options and variety offered to accommodate our tastes. Whilst we were a little cautious on the hot sauces due to recent illness we certainly tried new foods we have not had since being in Mexico. The cooling drinks, chocolate, tortas, costras and churros filled our tummies! Plenty of recommendations for our next visit also provided. Sonja was a great guide who was interesting, friendly, shaped the tour around our preferences and showed us some great shopping spots. We would definitely recommended her food tour! "

"We had a fabulous tour with Sonja the day we arrived for our vacation. She customized the tour for us and gave us so much information and many tips that were helpful for our trip. And, everything we tasted was great! "

"The private and personal food tour with Sonja was the perfect kick off to our visit to PDC. She thoughtfully tailored the tastings with a little mix of everything local and all was delicious. We had the most wondeful dinner the next evening at one of her recommendations and had a quick meal two days later at one of the food stops. We hope to have Sonja as our guide again soon for other local cultural experiences."

"Sonja was a great guide who was interesting, friendly and very knowledgeable about the area and culture. In addition, she provided many recommendations for the rest of our stay. We would highly recommended her food tour as a great introduction to the area."

"First off communication was easy that helps when traveling in a foreign country. Second, We had the best day with Sonja. She took the time to explain all the local attractions not only at street level but a special trip to a rooftop pool for a city overlook. She knows her history and the names of monuments. We had time to shop local for unique gifts as well as the tourist stuff. Plus a bonus of an added local Mayan chocolate shop and a look see at a beautiful local resort with gorgeous gardens. She knows all the secret spots. Sonja took the time as well to take photos of us and we didn’t have to attempt the dreaded selfie. Lastly when we were ready to head back to our hotel she took the time to find a local drugstore for some sunscreen purchase and then hailed us a cab. She is very kind and a great guide. We would definitely recommend and go on another tour she has planned. "

"Sonja was fantastic! She really showed the PDC area well. We had 7 of us, one of which was in a wheelchair. She was so accommodating, kind and knowledgeable! The food was delicious and there were items we would never have found of our own! She has excellent response times. Highly RECOMMEND!"

"Highly recommend...Sonja was engaging, friendly and very communicative. She accomodated our schedule, preferences and ensured we tasted all Yucatex Mayan flavors as hoped! We'd hope to do other tours with Sonja if possible, she is excellent."

"I had not heard of With Locals before searching for tours for our recent Mexico trip. I took a chance and it was well worth it. Sonja made communication easy and was flexible. We had a laid back tour at our pace of Playa del Carmen, which was a perfect start to our vacation. We woke at 2:30 am to make our early flight to Cancun that day, so a laid back tour at an easy pace was perfect. She showed us all the hidden gems and took fabulous photos of our family. She also helped me get transportation added to our Xoximilco booking which was not only a relief, it made that excursion so hassle free. I would have spent a lot of time dealing with that on my own. In fact I only mentioned that I needed transportation added and she thought of taking me to the Xcaret booth and getting it handled for me. I definitely recommend Sonja and with locals and wish I would have known that Sonja is an official guide for the ruins. I had already booked our Tulum tour. We each selected three favorite things of our week in Mexico and my husband said this tour with Sonja. He felt like she showed us all the special spots and it was well worth it. We did a lot during our week stay- so this is a very high compliment. Thanks again Sonja (and little Valentino), you made our trip extra special. "
