City Tours in Puerto Vallarta: 4 Lined Up by Price and Hours

1.Winner 2025 Downtown Vallarta Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,738 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $59Our pick

Walk Puerto Vallarta with a local food guide such as Jesús, Miel, Maho, or Brenda, stopping for eight tastings at family-run restaurants and food stands. Expect tacos, seafood, mole, sweets, and drinks while learning about the Zona Romántica and Malecón. The 10-person limit keeps the pace personal, but cobblestones, stairs, and a good deal of walking require comfortable shoes.

“This was such a well curated tour! The company has put together a wonderful experience for visitors to Puerto Vallarta, both young and old. There were 8 stops for delicious, contrasting tastes of food from local vendors. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and kept us moving easily from spot to spot. Great way to spend a half day. Highly recommend!”

2.Full-Day Puerto Vallarta City Highlights Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 413 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $29Best value

This five-hour Puerto Vallarta tour pairs a guided walk along the Malecon and a visit to Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish with a drive to Las Juntas y los Veranos for coffee and tequila. Hotel pickup is included, but lunch, shopping stops, travel time, and possible delays can stretch the outing to seven hours.

“Although I didn't actually get to experience this tour, I wanted to leave a review about how efficiently my refund was processed. I arrived in PV on the Carnival Panorama in November 2024. I now know that the "ship time" is different from "local" time. I hope to be back in PV in 2025 and will re-book this tour at that time.”
