Untouristed with Vallarta Eats is amazing, but come hungry! - Yet again, our tour with Vallarta Eats did not disappoint! I tried to tell my companions to not eat everything put in front of them, no matter how delicious the food, but they didn’t listen. They were very full after this tour. So many amazing bites of food off the beaten path. We’ve been coming to PV for 25+ years and we tried foods we never knew existed. Gorditas, anyone? Karla, our guide, was knowledgeable, funny, friendly and very accommodating even with our pickiest eaters (wimps lol). If you get her as your guide, you will be in excellent hands. We love to take out of town guests on food tours when they come to visit because it’s the best way to get the local “flavor” - both taste and culture. Vallarta Eats is our favorite tour company.

Learning about culture through food and fun! - Touring around PV with Karla and friends was so fun and delicious. I learned a ton about local culture, which so often comes alive through food. Warmth and welcome at all the stops along the way. Karla our guide was funny, interesting, and made learning fun and enriching. This tour was a highlight of my trip. Highly recommend!
