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!”

“I was assaulted by another passenger on the boat. The tour guides didn't help and when I called the police they never showed up. Please keep in mind that you are in Mexico, alcohol is involved, and not everyone knows how to handle their liquor. It's unfortunate that a US veteran woman would assault me in front of my child.”
