Reeya
Extremely worth it!! Well planned tour with a variety of local dishes. Our tour guide Maho was very knowledgeable and funny.
Deborah
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!
George
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.
Reid
Had an amazing experience with Erik! He is very informative and very genuine. He took us to 6 different places to eat food from street tacos to ceviche to chilaquiles. Every place was delicious and my wife and I had an amazing experience. 10/10 highly recommend doing this tour. You’re able to enjoy the food of the locals while walking around Puerto Vallarta and exploring.
Kevin
We decided to take a taco tasting tour through the streets of Puerto Vallarta. Vallarta Food Tours was awesome! Very knowledgeable about the taco spots, various types and history of each place! They were very accommodating throughout the entire tour, answered all our questions and kept the tour very fun! We even had some tasty local beverages and ice cream along the way. Definitely recommend this place for a great experience!
Catherine
We had a great time doing the walking taco tour around Puerto Vallarta! We were a group of five and we all said what an amazing time we had. It was nice to be able to try out different types of tacos plus we had a churro stop! The guide was super friendly and knowledgeable about each taco stands’ history as well as what toppings were best. Arrive hungry because you will be leaving FULL. All tacos were so delicious and it’s a great way to see the town. We wouldn’t have left our resort otherwise!
Tiffany
Al was a great tour guide! He was knowledge in the city and culture of PV. So funny and accommodating of our group as well! I highly recommend this tour - everything we had was delicious.
Joanne
Sylvia was absolutely fabulous! Friendly, engaging and knowledgeable about the food and history. She warned me about the heat of the different sauces with great humour. All of the food we tried was wonderful and after 8 stops we were all stuffed! Highly recommend.
Lynne
We were a lovely group size of 6 ppl. Mahonrie (Maho) was an excellent guide. Personable, accommodating, informative and funny. The food stops were very enjoyable. The food choices were delish. Excellent value for money. Do it early on your trip and you’ll know where and where not to go eat for the rest of your vacation. 🙌🏻🙏
Lisa
Excellent tour. Miel Was an amazing guide and her knowledge and history of the food culture in Puerto Vallarta really enhanced the tour. This tour started off great from the meeting point through all eight stops. On the tour confirmation, it stated to have a light breakfast prior to the tour, It should say do not eat before this tour as all of the selections of restaurants as well as food was so amazing and there was so much food by the end we were full. We enjoyed this tour so much. We went back to one of the restaurants for dinner the following evening.
