ZOMG! The food!! The drinks!!! - I wish I could live this tour all over again!!! It was our first day in PV and this was the perfect way to get started! Not only did we zig-zag throughout town to try a variety of different spots with completely different vibes, but we had a vast array of cocktails throughout the duration of tour and some absolutely glorious tacos! This tour DOES NOT DISAPPOINT! We were definitely fat and happy by then end of it all - I can't recommend it enough! :-)

Absolute best tacos of my life - Bernardo was the man! We had an amazing afternoon with him touring delicious taco venues and bars trying all the local fare. I can say assuredly I’ve had the best tacos of my life on this tour. We can’t wait to come back and do the rest of his tours! Thank you so much for such a wonderful time, you’re going to have a hard time fighting the celebrity accusations, Bernardo, you’re a town gem!

Exceptional, informative and delicious experience and - A must do tour in Puerto Vallarta! Our group of 20 met our guides at a beautiful area filled with mosaic benches and pavilion filled with memorials, honorary tiles and beautiful tile work. We were split into two groups and our exceptional tour guide was Silvia Valdez. Silvia was extremely knowledgeable about the best places for tacos and delicious tequila and mezcal cocktails. She knew the history of each business, showcased the nuances for each and eagerly answered all of our questions. The tacos and cocktails at each business were unique and spectacular in its own way. Amazing flavors and the chef in the group learned new information about authentic Mexican cooking. One person in our group was allergic to fish/seafood and each restaurant made accommodation. All owners and servers at each stop were gracious and grateful. If you are in PV, definitely take this tour and ask for Silvia.

Great Food, Drink & Guide - Our guide was Miel, and I would highly recommend her for your tour. Just by change there were only 3 people on our tour, so we had a very personalized experience. Before we began I didn't realize the alcohol portion was exclusive to Mezcal and Tequila but so glad it was. Loved learning the history behind them and how to taste them properly. It was a crazy rainy day but that didn't slow us down. Miel checked in with us several times to make sure we were ok with continuing and said she doesn't usually stop the tour unless there is flooding. For us, it just added to the adventure. Got to try foods and restaurants we would never have thought to try on our own. We enjoyed everything so much we revisited a couple of places on our own a few days later. Thought we were going to be crazy drunk at the end but things were paced well and the food to drink ratio was perfect. We were happy and full by the end but not over the top. We still had energy to shop the Malecon when we were done.

MUST DO IN PV - My partner and I have traveled all over doing food tours. We love food and plan our travel often surrounding the food options. This is by far the BEST food tour we have ever done. We even returned to some of the spots for round two later in our vacation. Gio what a knowledge and awesome guide! The food and drinks were so generous and absolutely tasty. Highly recommend!

Well worth the time and money! - We were two groups of 10 and had an incredible time on this tour. Our groups started and ended together, but went separate ways during the tour. The food and drink variety was great. The guides were awesome. We learned and ate so much. We wanted to do the tour again while we were there. This was a highlight of our trip to Mexico.
