Delicious food and great experience! - We had a wonderful experience exploring 5 de Diciembre with Manny. He was very knowledgeable and provided us with a lot of information about the area. We stopped at over five different spots ranging from freshly made tortillas, tacos of all kind, gorditas and ice cream. Manny did not rush us whatsoever and we felt like we were on our own time which was very relaxing. We were very full with all the delicious food by the time we finished. Highly recommend this activity with Manny!

Amazing taco tour with Manny! - This was a super fun taco tour! Manny met us promptly at the market and taught us about how they make tortillas, then took us to an amazing carnitas taco shop. It was only my partner and I in our tour group, so Manny asked us what we liked and then catered the next shop visits to our preferences. We got to try pork belly, carne asada, an adventurous taco that he didn’t reveal the meat until we finished (and it was delicious), birria, and more. The finishing touch of the ice cream/frozen fruit bar was perfect. Manny taught us so much about the neighborhood and culture, as foodies we were very impressed by this tour and we would come back again! I would recommend the morning tour, it seems like the locals eat tacos at breakfast time and Manny said some shops might run out by the afternoon. Don’t fill up on breakfast on your own, save room for these amazing tacos!

Eating our way through 5 de Diciembre - This tour was so great! We chose the morning tour and met promptly at 9:30 AM and started learning about the local market and visited a tortilla factory. I ate some of the best carnitas I've ever had the pleasure of tasting which was quickly followed by equally as good tacos and gorditas from other vendors. We also had different agua frescas at each spot (my favorite bing the fresco de cebada - a refreshing barley drink). the 2 and half hour tour went by so quickly and we were so full and satisfied by the end, but still had room for ice-cold popsicles before we parted ways with our guide. This tour was a fantastic value and a great way to learn more about the less-touristed areas of Puerto Vallarta. Our guide took great care to tell us all about the history of the 5 de diciembre neighborhood and let us know if we had any questions later, we could easily reach out for tips and recommendations.
