In downtown Pureto Vallarta, so easy to get to by taxi, which are cheap. Well worth doing this tour. I totally recommend.”

We were hoping for the waterfall and River run but we are here in the dry season so there was no water so they took us on an extra road up the other side of the mountain. Very fun very professional and they kept everyone very safe. It was a great experience.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 73 reviews · 3 hours · from $59

Taste Puerto Vallarta beyond the resort zone on a three-hour walking tour of tacos, mole, ceviche, sweets, drinks, and local family eateries.

“Every aspect of this tour worked well. The pace set by our guide allowed us to savour each tasting before moving on to the next. He clearly has a well established and respected relationship with the family owned restaurants we visited. Of particular note was that he was able to accommodate me as a vegetarian which was no small feat. I’d advise you to take the tour at the beginning of your time in Puerto Vallarta as you will want to return to the restaurants featured on the tour. In addition have a very light breakfast, if at all, as the tastings are ample.”
