“No one with mobility issues should try this. That being said, if you are able to move around it was amazing. This was the second time we went on this taco tour and loved it. The places that we we went were not the same as the first tour. Nice variety, amazing food. The group was very small. Everyone very friendly and had a great time. Five out of five would go again”

3-hour e-bike food tour in Bucerías with espresso, agua fresca, tacos, ceviche, and cold beer, led by a small group.
“Great way to get to small authentic restaurants. Pepe is fantastic. You’ll get the history of the food and it is very good. We made five stops and everyone was full. The e bikes make it easy for any age. Sometimes the cobblestone streets bumpy. Pepe calls it a free massage.”

A small-group seafood walk in Puerto Vallarta’s Zona Romántica with six tastings, a great guide, and local flavor for $59.
“This was the best thing of my entire trip to Puerto Vallarta! My parents, sister and I booked this seafood tour after having difficulties finding a food tour that could accommodate my sister, dad and myself as pescatarians. On this tour we stopped by 7 places and each place was amazing and unique. Well worth the price! I will recommend this to anyone going to PV”
Breakfast tacos in Puerto Vallarta’s Zona Romántica with a local foodie. Small group walk, birria dips, agave shot, and sweet finish.
“Excellent tour of some of the authentic taco stands in Zona Romantica. Every taco we had was very good but my personal highlights were the fish and the head tacos. Our guide Annalo (spelling?) was great and did a wonderful job of explaining some of the history of the area as well as the different types of tacos. The various fruit juices and the popsicle at the end were wonderful additions to the tacos. My wife and I appreciated that we did get plenty of walking in but at the same time it wasn’t far between each stop. Highly recommended! This tour is run by a locally owned company that…”

3 hours of Puerto Vallarta street-style tastings at 7 local spots, including mole, tacos, ceviche, tortilla fresh off the belt, and drinks.
“Fantastic!! We booked this excursion for a port day on a cruise. We mistakenly didn't account for a time change and only realized the day of that we were already late for the 1st pickup spot. Figured that we were just out of luck BUT took a chance and called the company. They called us back in minutes and gave us two options: 1) take a tour later that day, 2) meet the group at the second stop. We chose the second. Our guide had been informed and was waiting for us when we arrived. Got us caught up quickly with the rest of the group and had a GREAT…”

“We loved our Seafood Lover's Food Tour with Bernardo. The food was excellent and we discovered new restaurants that we will try again when we return to Puerto Vallarta next year. Bernardo was a fabulous tour guide and lots of fun! We highly recommend this tour.”
Hike Cerro del Mono from Higuera Blanca with a small group, fresh coconut, and Mexican food included from Sayulita.
“Great hike and great tour guide! View was so beautiful from top and Jair was so knowledgeable about the jungle and hike. Small group which was really nice!”
Catamaran tour from Puerto Vallarta to Majahuitas and Yelapa with snorkeling, beach lunch, and an open bar.
“#1, if you are arriving to Puerto Vallarta via Carnival Panorama Mexican Rivera, do not book this. Ship Time is 1 hour behind their time. Meeting time of 9:30 is their time. Carnival Panorama arrives into port approx 8:30am Ship time which is 9:30am their time. So when we arrived at what our time was 9:15am it was actually 10:15 am their time and the boat to the island already left. They did manage to get a boat taxi to take us to the boat but by that time we missed the breakfast, snorkeling, kayaking, and paddleboarding. #2, there is no docks in Yelepa so you literally have to get…”
A 6-hour Sayulita day from Puerto Vallarta with market bites, cocoa-garden chocolate, and local candy stops in a small-group tour.
“José “Pepe” García was an incredible host- very knowledgeable about the history of Puerto Vallarta, and very ingaging. As it was a smaller group, he was able to tailor our experience & had plenty of time for questions. I cannot recommend Pepe (and his company Vallarta Tours) highly enough!!”
