    Delicious and informative and fun!

    "We did a tour with Maria with our two little boys, 5 & 8 years old, and asked for the tour to take into account their age and attention span and Maria did a fantastic job! My five year old gave a rave review that the shrimp tacos were even better than the candy he got to sample. True praise indeed. We ate lots of delicious things and got to see some new sights. Maria was kind and pleasant and patient with our kiddos. Definitely recommend!"

    Wonderful experience/ local favorites!

    "Maria did a great job sharing her local cuisine and unique and delicious dishes with our family. She catered to our tastes and spice levels as well as some diversity of tastes in our group. We loved the experience and were so glad to try new dishes that we hadn’t had before. Everyone in our group loved it. Thanks Maria!!"

    A Fun Culinary Journey

    "From the moment we met, Maria's warm personality and passionate knowledge of local cuisine made everyone feel welcome and excited for the adventure ahead. Maria isn't just a tour guide; she's a storyteller. Her deep connections with local vendors and restaurant owners provided us with authentic experiences that would be impossible to discover on our own. We were treated like family at each stop, with special dishes prepared just for our group. Maria was attentive to everyone's dietary restrictions and preferences, ensuring each person had an equally amazing experience. If you're looking to truly understand Puerto Vallarta through its food, Maria's tour is an absolute must. Her passion for her hometown and its culinary heritage shines through in every aspect of the experience. You'll leave with a full stomach, wonderful memories, and a deeper appreciation for this beautiful destination."

She took us to hidden gems, where we tasted incredible, authentic local food. Every bite was delicious! Maria also shared fascinating insights about the city and its food culture.
