We had an amazing experience with Tulum Concierge! From the moment we started planning our trip, their team was incredibly responsive, organized, and helpful. Every question was answered quickly, and they made the entire process completely stress-free. They helped coordinate everything seamlessly, and every detail was handled professionally. Whether it was transportation, reservations, or activity planning, everything went exactly as planned and made our trip so much more enjoyable. Our group had an incredible time, and we truly appreciated how easy they made everything. If you’re planning a trip to Tulum, I highly recommend Tulum Concierge! They went above and beyond and made our experience unforgettable!
The food was absolutely delicious! We had a large group and there was more than enough food for everyone. Highly recommend getting the pancakes!
everything about this experience was beautiful and thorough. from the first email to the food being served. I can not recommend booking a private chef through this company more. thank you
We used YTC for four private chef meals during our stay in Tulum. We were a large group of 16 people and had food leftover after every meal! Eduardo, the chef, was fantastic, even though our Airbnb's kitchen was almost completely bare and didn't have much in terms of cookware, serving dishes, or flatware. He even left us some salt and to-go containers for our own cooking, which was so helpful. Honestly, with a group that size, the cost was worth it for the cleanup afterwards alone! As far as the food, we had some feedback for Eduardo after our first meal (seasoning and cookery adjustments -- I suspect our wonky Airbnb kitchen made things difficult for him as well), and he was so receptive and understanding! He adjusted beautifully and our remaining meals were so punchy, flavorful, and delicious. We were so thrilled after a somewhat shaky start. I would wholeheartedly recommend Eduardo and definitely don't be afraid to speak up if you have any concerns! We're so glad we did and we were able to have incredible meals.
Our group used Your Tulum Concierge to book our massages and a few meals and everything was perfect! It was so nice to arrive and not have to immediately worry about food. We did couple massages at our home and I wish I would have booked more! Thanks so much!
Our chef, Eduardo, was great. Food was amazing, accommodating and friendly service. 10/10 recommend will book again.
I recently went to tulum for a bachelor trip and booked them for breakfast and dinner almost every day except for 1 night. Exceptional on all levels quality, presentation and were very accommodating day of time change. Eduardo was our chef most nights and was the best. Highly recommend!
We were interested in having a chef come and make us a dinner for just one night at our little airbnb. Once we looked into it, we noticed there were very few options. I messaged YTC, and Joost confirmed they could accommodate that request. The whole experience worked out better then we could have hoped for! After a longer and more exhausting last day of sightseeing than expected, our chef Eduardo arrived right on time. We had selected a mexican-themed meal and he came completely prepared. He settled right into the kitchen like it was his. The whole time he was friendly with us and kept everything clean and tidy. In no time at all, an amazing table full of food was laid out for us. I am telling you THE MEAL WAS AMAZING! If you are considering anything like this, go for it...it was totally worth it! Can't wait to do this again on our next trip. Thanks YTC!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between casual and fancy?
Casual: the chef cooks at your villa using your kitchenware and tableware, serves the meal, and leaves once the last course is served. Best for everyday meals: breakfast, a relaxed lunch, midweek dinner.

Can the chef accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes: vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut allergies, pescatarian, keto. Tell us when you book and we’ll match you with a chef and a menu that fits.
Can I book for fewer than 4 people?
Yes, but the per-person price is higher. Message us with your group size for a quote.
Is everything on the menu included?
Unless a menu specifically mentions otherwise, the menu includes all dishes.
What is the cancellation policy?
