"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."

More than tacos!
"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!"

Fantastic PV food tour
"What an amazing tour of some local food and sites. We booked Maria for the PV food tasting tour and she took the time to explain and help us understand the food we were enjoying. As a bonus, after the food tour she showed us around to some additional sites. Maria is very friendly, knowledgeable, and a joy to spend an afternoon with. I would not hesitate to recommend Maria - she went above and beyond. 🌟10/10 🌟"

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!!"

Love Maria!
"My two girlfriends and I were lucky enough to book Maria for our first day in Puerto Vallarta. She took us to wonderful spots we would have never found had we been on our own. She was happy to adjust our tour based on our preferences, and added some wonderful site seeing in-between our restaurant stops. As promised, after our tour, she sent us all her recommendations so we could find even more amazing places on our own. Maria was a delight and we highly recommend her!"

Great communication prior to our visit. Our tour was amazing. Had a wide variety of food and ate places that really had a local feel. Maria is knowledgeable and passionate about so many topics, we feel we really got a great head start for our stay! We have a friend in PV for sure!"
