Lip-Smacking Tour with Spicy Vallarta - Easy walking tour through the streets to visit small but established vendors. Tasty selections at each stop. Come hungry, you'll be experiencing a lot of foods and flavors. Roman was an excellent guide of the neighborhood and a knowledgeable foodie. The meeting place was by the Arches (not clear when booking).

Best thing all week - We had a wonderful evening, awesome experience. Our guide Roman was extremely friendly, explained the food, heritage, culture, and history. As we toured, on foot, we took in lots of sights and sounds - areas we likely would never have found on our own. We did the evening tour, it was just enough walking to explore the neighborhoods but not so much that it ever felt long. They were able to accommodate our dietary need (gluten free) and I was surprised at the level of care and attention Roman placed with each stop to ensure GF - corn only - options were available, right down to knowing ingredients in sauces and creating alternatives. Our family - 3 teenagers - loved the evening, all of us said how much fun the experience was, and the food is authentic and delicious. So happy we ventured away from the resort - this excursion is worth every penny.

10/10 Would recommend! - Our experience was amazing. Roman our guide was a pleasure to spend time with. My wife and I attended his tour. He was very friendly and has a plethora of knowledge about the area and it’s history. It was really cool just to get to hangout with a local who knows the ins and outs of where to go and where to eat. The experience itself was the highlight and the delicious food we had was just the cherry on top. Thanks again Roman for an amazing day. - Tyler and Justine
