Great Foods with a Great Guide - Edgar was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot about the history of the foods we enjoyed and we ate more than we thought we could handle. We all had a great time on our food tour with Edgar. We definitely got our money’s worth with this tour. I would highly recommend it.

Great Tour - The food was amazing. It was also good to see and learn about some local stuff that you wouldn’t otherwise get to. Edgar was also a great tour guide.

Great value for the money - When traveling to Mexico I worry about food safety. This was a wonderful opportunity to experience the “off the beaten track” food in a safe environment. Chris was a wealth of information about the food and history. I highly recommend this tour.

Think you already know tacos? - Even if familiar with Mexican cuisine, this was an awesome tour. Such a variety of stops, great detail, tour guide Joanna was incredible! A member of our party had a seafood allergy and they were able to work around this easily. We had a smaller group during the low season but so appreciated how much info our guide gave us when asked questions about anything!

Great food, great culture! - This tour was amazing! We went the day after our wedding with 23 of our guests! We booked a private tour and Sylvia and Miel were our guides. They explained everything so well, including letting us know ahead of time that we would have to split into 2 smaller groups for part of the tour due to the size of our group and the size of the restaurants. They also took great care of 2 of my guests who became sick (not due to the tour) and made sure they had transportation back to our resort. They taught us about the history of the food and the neighborhood in Puerto Vallarta we were in. 10/10 would do it again! The tacos were amazing and the guides were amazing! They were very efficient and attentive, so we did not have to spend much time waiting even though we were visiting restaurants that were also open to the public. Very well organized!

You won’t Regret this Food Tour in Puerto Vallarta! - Joana was an exceptional guide! We thoroughly enjoyed discovering the hidden gems of Puerto Vallarta's farm-to-table restaurants, each serving incredibly authentic and delicious food. It was a delight to meet and connect with the warm and generous local hosts. The culinary surprises were plentiful and delightful. Be sure to come hungry, as there's an abundance of food that will leave you full to the brim. This tour is a must for anyone looking to break away from the typical tourist spots and experience the true essence of Puerto Vallarta. Highly recommended!
