Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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!"
"This is our second tour with Maria . It was a pleasure to spend another 3 hours with her. When our visit to PV is over time spent with Maria will be among our best memories."
"We had the pleasure of joining Maria for a city and food tour in Puerto Vallarta, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Shes a true foodie and introduced us to incredible local flavors. Maria was knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend her and this tour food lovers."
"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!!"
"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."
"Maria is simply the best! As a group weve been coming to PVR for 20+ years and thought we had explored most everything but she shared amazing places with us that we had never seen! She was charming, knowledgeable, and we feel like we now have a life long friend here in PVR! "
"My Puerto Vallarta food tour was absolutely amazing! Our guide, Maria, was fantastic – so friendly, easy-going, and knowledgeable. 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. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Maria as your guide. It was a highlight of my trip!"
"Jessica was great from the start to the end. She looked after any dietary issues that might occur, gave great tastings of the Mexico cruising, and added in her personal knowledge of the area."
"Maria was an excellent tour guide, and a great conversationalist. We learned a lot about local culture and cuisine. She specifically set up a day to show us more than just tacos, but I'm sure if you asked, she can find you the most delicious tacos... as everything we had that afternoon was delicious!"
"We’ve done food tours all over the world. We think it's such a good way to learn more about the culture and to discover foods we’d miss on our own. Maria is the best! She introduced us to tuba, a fermented coconut and fruit drink we would never have known about. She took us to places we’ve walked by and never noticed. Now we know that one has amazing fish tacos, another has the best birria ever, and one has delicious tortillas being made while you watch. Maria is well-traveled and knows her food. She’s also fun to spend the day with. After the tour, she sent us a list of all the places we’d been and what we’d tasted. That’s a very nice touch. "
