Vallarta Food Tours offers Best in Value and Experience!! - Joana was awesome. She knows so much about Vallarta and each establishment - the family history was very interesting and how long the place had been in business. At all the stops, the food was out of this world and the portions were very generous. One definitely gets so much more in value and experience than the price of the tour!!

Just as good as the first time. Silvia truly is amazing. - This is actually the second time I’ve done this tour. Both times we were lucky enough to get Silvia. She truly is so fun, knowledgeable and a great personality. I appreciated that we actually went to a few different places. She was actually so memorable from 2021 that we saw her leading a tour in January when we stopped off here for the day. We saw her and both said you led our group. Hope when we do another tour with the company we can have her again.

Fun, educational, and DELICIOUS! - This was a well-organized, informative, and fun tour through the cuisine of Puerto Vallarta. Our tour guide Eric (el gato gordo) was very friendly and knowledgeable, all of the stops had amazing food, and I would absolutely book this again. Keep in mind how hot it will be and bring water with you, and come hungry!

The tour took us to several delicious, authentic local eateries and all the stops were able to accommodate my pescatarian diet. Big thanks to Joana for being such a kind and informative tour guide!

Tacos with Al - Al was very personable and shared interesting details about Puerta Vallarta and its history. The food was excellent and my husband is now a real fan of Mexican tacos. Our only suggestion would be to end the tour where it began to make it easier for travelers to return to their drop off points.

Do this tour first, and eat well for the rest of your trip. - The taco tour was fantastic. Our guide, Al, was knowledgeable about both the food and Puerto Vallarta. Al was accommodating and made sure everyone was comfortable. The tour lasted over 3 hours, and I was worried we might get too hot from all the walking and being outside, but it was arranged so we had chances to cool off. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in trying local food.
