Must Do Experience - Learn Local Culture, Taste the Best Food and Enjoy! - 5 Star +++++ Wowzah! We did the walking tour with Manny and Roman. Let's talk Manny here. This dude is fun, informational and just a great person. Our tour started with Scrambled Eggs Mexicana and Hibiscus Aqua Fresca. It was only up from there. Many delicious local eating adventures. Some of the best food we've eaten ever. Local markets, produce, plants, and everything else. Tortilla Factory was so impressive. Thanks Manny, we hope to tour again!

Mandatory for food lovers - Manny knew what he was talking about. The tour wasn’t just good food but also a lot of good history about the food and restaurants in the area. Highly recommend doing at the beginning of your trip so you don’t waste your time on mediocre food.

Taco the Town - We had a wonderful experience on the taco tour. Roman was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and an overall amazing tour guide. He carefully selected an array of authentic taco trucks and restaurants. We learned so much while enjoying fresh and delicious tacos from local family-owned businesses. We ended it with a sweet treat (paletas), and Roman even took photos along the way and shared them with us. So worth it!

So many different Tacos in PV - My wife and I took the taco tasting tour. Turned out to be just us, so we got to ask lots of questions from our guide who was a chef. Great food and learned a lot about local food, and visited many new places. I recommend pacing yourself and don't feel like you have to eat everything.

Lip-Smacking Tour with Spicy Vallarta - Easy walking tour through the streets to visit small but established vendors. Tasty selections at each stop. Come hungry, you'll be experiencing a lot of foods and flavors. Roman was an excellent guide of the neighborhood and a knowledgeable foodie. The meeting place was by the Arches (not clear when booking).
