Puerto Vallarta food tour - I highly recommend this food tour. Silvia was a wonderful hostess. The food was great and could hardly finish the final dessert course. Ask for Silvia when you book this tour!

Authentic food, awesome guide - If you want to enjoy authentic Mexican food, take the Taste of Pitillal food tour. Our guide Joana shared so much about the neighborhood with us. Each food stop was incredible, I couldn't pick just one favourite.

Perfect day in Puerto Vallarta - Great food tour with Bernardo on a cruise port day! Wonderful selection of local restaurants with no other tourists in sight. Just the right amount of food and very well organized with comfortable seating at each place. Highly recommended!

Excellent tour to explore a less visited neighborhood - Enjoy doing a food tour whenever I visit a new city, and this was one of the best that I've done in a long while. I enjoyed the experience of exploring an area that we likely wouldn't have visited on our own, and certainly wouldn't have known where to go. Our guide Joana was great! She told us the historical significance of the places we were visiting and about the food, as well as the lives of the people who lived in the neighborhood that we visited. She was friendly and interesting and kept a good pace. We had 5 substantial sized tastes, and our dietetic requirements were met. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

Well worth the time and money! - Meil was a passionate and very knowledgeable ambassador for Puerto Vallarta in general and the Pitillal community specifically. We have gone on many tours, through a variety of companies, over our several trips to PV. This was, by far, one of the best! She knew the history of each restaurant and family we visited. The food was a delicious sampling of the staples in Mexican culture. She shared the many influences of other cultures on contemporary Mexican food. All in all a 10/10 for this tour. Highly recommend!!
