De Cantaro
Diana B.

Everyone should go on this gourmet food tour, and she will learn new places to go and new fun things to eat. We went last year when we were in Puerto Vallarta in would like to go back to some of the restaurants we visited. This is a definite and we should do it in Puerto Vallarta! Love you really want to have a fun afternoon, and you're really hungry, go on the taco tour! It was a fun group as we wander the streets of Puerto Vallarta stopping at all the street vendors. We had it least ate tacos and ice cream and got to sample candy. our guide was interesting and fun and made it a very fun afternoon. Ask for Andrea she's the best.

Highly recommend this wonderful tour! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with our knowledgeable host, Manny. His presentation was outstanding not only on the delicious foods we ate but on the history of the foods, restaurants and Puerto Vallarta, itself. Manny was very pleasant, articulate and he had a great sense of humor. We especially enjoyed a unique taco, the churros and ice cold popsicle at the end of the tour.

Amazing fish (mahi mahi) taco from Marisma

I consider myself an adventurous foodie. So naturally, I was on the fence about paying for something I could have done on my own. Could I have yelped every taco stand and did my own? Of course. But I would have had to read through hundreds of snarky posts to get a bunch of opinions. Ultimately we ended up doing this tour and it was AMAZING! I got to make my own review of each place visited while learning lots more about the area than I ever anticipated. With the tour we had gotten some first hand knowledge from locals about how each stand prepared their tacos, when they were available (some are morning stands and some evening), what made them special, a little about families and lives of those preparing our meals, etc. It was truly an intimate look into the neighborhood with an authentic dive into the local pulse, and brought me further out of where I may have adventured on my own. Our tour guide, Paz, was awesome. She was super friendly and had lots of knowledge about each stand we visited. Overall we visited about 11 spots. Some were places where you could get agua frescas, dessert, baked goods, or fresh tortillas, etc. It was a comprehensive tour to ensure a variety of great treats during your stay. One suggestion was to come hungry, which I did and normally food is no obstacle, but even toward the end i got a little full. But the food was so good, I insisted on trying everything... even the heart, liver, tripe taco at Birria Chanfay! The great thing about the tour was that we got to sample places before venturing out on our own. We visited several of the stands more than once during our week long stay and if I were there for longer would have visited them ALL again. I highly recommend this tour if you are considering it in the slightest.

Karla was amazing on our birria tour. She was So informative, patient, and kind. Amazing food, authentic local spots we would never find on our own. Such a great way to start our day! Highly recommend and ask for Karla she was lovely!

El pastor taco and quesadilla

Did the Tacos after Dark tour with Susie and she was unbelievable. Not only was she so informative, she made us feel VIP the entire time. We had 12 tacos in all, churros and ice cream, safe to say we were beyond stuffed. Everything we had was amazing. Susie was 10/10 I would highly recommend requesting her.

The best day tour in Vallarta. I've done it four times, each time with different friends. And, to a person, everyone loved it. Don't hesitate - sign up now!

Best, most authentic food tour in Vallarta! Our local guide, Suzy, was amazing. She was bubbly, fun, and extremely knowledgeable of the food, the area, the culture, and the people. The stands and businesses chosen for this tour were outstanding and of excellent quality and character. This is a must do, even if you've visited Vallarta more than once.

De Cantaro mole

I took the dinner tour with my boyfriend & his family and everyone loved it. We got ample food and had a cocktail at all four stops. The restaurants we went to were all cute inside/outside and the food was very good as well. (My favorite stop was De Cantaro. The cocktails and mole were 10/10.) I'd also like to add that our tour guide was Paz and she was fantastic. The food was good, but she made the experience that much better. She even gave us tips for other places to eat when we visited Sayulita as well. We loved this tour!

Heather M.

OMG! Always the best experience in Puerto Vallarta. I've taken a few tours by them. All of the food was so delicious, and just had such a good time on the tours. The tour guides know so much about the food, city, culture. I did the taco tour before, and I'm vegetarian. I couldn't eat everything, but I was definitely stuffed by the end of it...there was plenty of food and other things to try. This time in Vallarta I tried their new tour, the chocolate and vanilla discovery tour. It was AMAZING. I want to do it again. Paz, the guide, was super knowledgeable and fun. I liked everything I tried, especially all of the chocolate!!!

Wonderful tour with Fernanda. Did a 10am taco tour. Was a nice mix of history, culture and amazing food in the backdrop of a lovely city. Loved that we were traveling away from the touristy places and into the local neighborhoods and supporting local family owned businesses. Also very much appreciated that Fernanda was local and told us personal stories of some of the places we visited. The food was great. The aguas frescas were refreshing and ending with the candy shop and palletas was perfect. The tour was the absolute highlight of our trip to Puerto Vallerta. I wish we had done this tour first thing so that we could come back on another day for round two. Also, customer service is great. I had a few change requests that were taken care of quickly and graciously. Very much appreciated. Recommend not eating anything before the tour. My daughter and I ended up sharing the last 4 of 8 tacos because we were so full. Highly recommend following their motto "come hungry!"

Tacos al pastor!
Rob C.

We had a great time on our taco tour with Manny! Each of the taco places was delicious (the tacos al pastor was our favorite, but only slightly because everything tasted so good), and we also had great churros & paletas (all natural popsicles ). We felt safe, as places were all clean & required hand sanitizer use, disposable plate coverings & other than while eating mask use. I would take this tour again & we have already been back to 2 of the places for more tacos!

We're staying at Secrets and had this tour recommended by some of the FB members on the fan page. We did the new "Untouristed" tour, which takes you around the middle class neighborhoods for classic street fare, as well as a trip to see the markets. Our guide, Raquel, was amazing. She met us right on time but didn't mind that we'd managed to bring giant cielo rojo to go cups. She even brought some sweets for my birthday! We were given bags and water. My husband can't eat pork, which is a street staple, but she was able to accommodate him. The food was mindblowing. I'm a California native and it was still the best seafood soup, chorizo, and barbacoa I've ever had. Raquel was patient, friendly and informative, both about what we were eating, and the history of where we were. The people along the route were incredibly friendly. We stopped at a tortilla factory so Raquel could explain how the staple is made, and one of the workers leaned out and handed us the corn, some raw dough, and the finished product. It's about 1.5 miles of a fairly easy walk. Bring sunscreen. Raquel provides us with frozen perfumes towels as the weather heated up. Bring an adventurous spirit. This is the real taste of Mexico, try the lingua, cheeks, and mix. Explore new flavors. Have a little room for spice. Each stop also had a different flavor of agua Fresca- lime, tamerind, horchata, etc. Finshed up with a cold ice pop. There's honestly nothing I would have changed. We had a fantastic time.

First stop: birria (spicy Mexican stew) for breakfast! Rumor has it that this dish cures hangovers!

The team was very knowledgeable in the gastronomy, history, and culture of the area. Our tour took 2.5 hrs. We were SO happy with what we got out of it.

We balked at this because so many are tourist traps operated by non-Mexican large companies, but then we found Vallarta Local and decided to give them a try as they are locally owned. I'm so glad we did. We did the Breakfast Tacos tour and it was one of the most memorable tours we've ever done. AnnaLo was a fantastic guide and educated us not only about the city itself, but the history of different tacos and local cuisine. We visited six taco stands owned by local families, all of which have perfected their own meats and styles. Every taco was better than the last. And the sauces! My gosh, the varied and delicious sauces that each stand offered were unlike anything I've ever had before. It's hard to find sauces like this in America because everything is either not fresh or watered down, and I will never forget the nuances of flavors that every sauce added to every unique taco. Afterwards, we visited a fresh fruit popsicle shop and the place where most local tortillas are made. We both got a freshly made tortilla and a bit of salt and rolled it up to enjoy like a snack while AnnaLo told us about the importance of tortillas and how eating tortillas as a snack reminds most Mexicans of their childhood, picking up tortillas on their way home from school. It was truly a journey and we both left full. By the end, AnnaLo felt less like a tour guide and more like a friend that we've known for a while. Getting to know her was a highlight of the trip in itself. We hope to return to Puerto Vallarta soon, and when we do, we will absolutely be booking another tour.

Sylvie was very easy going listener to what we wanted and made our experience custom and better than anyone else could. Plus she responded quickly! And we were booking less than 24 hours out, so that was super helpful! We did a walking tour the first day and she picked us up to drive us around the second day to spots we missed and to go outside the city. This woman has a fantastic memory and knows EVERYBODY! She is originally Canadian but speaks excellent Spanish and isn't shy. When my friend wanted a special alcohol that's hard to find, Sylvie called a friend who owned a restaurant, they opened up just for us and Sylvie took us there even though our time indicated she should be dropping us at our hotel. When she took us to Gringo Gulch, to see The actor Richard Burtons home/Hacienda San Angel (which we heard was 800-1000 a night to stay in) she made a call and got us in there for a private tour (it was just me and a friend). Sylvie was extremely personal and really becomes your friend. The first day at the walking tour it was soooo unseasonably hot that a girl in our group got heat sick and everyone was done about halfway through because we were miserable. So Sylvie rose in a cab with the girl to make sure she got back to her condo ok. We would highly recommend her. Because of the small groups and custom tours, she'll take you where you really want to go and make sure you get the best deals.

With the boat tours they tell you exactly when to show up. The computers have all your details and if there's a problem or if you have questions, they help you and are very professional about it. Your ticket is clear- which boat number and trip you're on. They make announcements ahead of time and it's in an orderly fashion. Once on the boat, it's party time. They have different styles of boats depending on your trip but they all are clean and operated by professionals. I'm saying this a lot because when safety matters, you want to know that people are trained for their jobs. We had a highly skilled captain, very entertaining and informative tour guide and many helpful deckhands. We snorkeled (clean equipment), bird watched, saw many whales, sea turtles and went to a secluded beach. All food and drinks provided were tasty and abundant. We arrived back at port safely and highly enjoyed our excursion. If we had more time, we would have done more.

Our swim was VERY interactive and hands-on and they spent a lot of time explaining dolphin behavior. My dolphin's name was Paco, a 7-year-old male. My girlfriend's dolphin's name was Shany, she was a 30 year old female. The trainers we had were absolutely AMAZING!!! For an additional $30 we were also able to book a swim with the sea lions. The entire staff was extremely helpful and thoughtful. We had such a great experience with the dolphin swim that before we left we booked our next adventure to Rhythms of the Night. This was yet another fantastic experience. The boat ride there and back were both a complete blast. Dinner on the island was more than we expected. The show itself blew us away. We will definitely be booking with them when we return to Puerto Vallarta!
