Al was a wonderful guide, very personable and friendly with expert knowledge of tacos in Vallarta. It was a great way to spend the afternoon and we all agreed the birria tacos were the best!

The street taco tour was a magical and fun experience! As a first time traveler to Puerto Vallarta this tour was such a lovely introduction to the city culture and the delicious food. Our tour guide Joana was wonderful and felt like an instant friend. The numerous tastings were fabulous, and there was so much food that everyone was full by the end of the evening. We explored some very authentic venues that I would not have discovered on my own. The bonding with fellow travelers was also nice and made for a very enjoyable evening. I recommend doing the tour early during your visit so you can go back for more of what you like.
