Traveler reviews
Delicious entertaining day!
Bernardo was absolutely the cherry on the cake for this tour!! We enjoyed the six restaurants on the list, including our last stop for homemade ice cream! Each restaurant included an interesting story told by Bernardo, the origin of the food, how the owner(s) came to be in Puerta Vallarta and introduced us to the “proper” way to eat the delicious food! (In fact, when we asked about how to eat one of the offerings, Bernardo said there is no proper way to eat the food, just enjoy it!) We saw several tortilla factories and came to know how women finally got to vote - all in all a perfect day for us!! Thank you!!!
Terrific insider food tour of Puerto Vallarta
Bernardo took us to 6 different long-time family owned businesses across the different neighborhoods of PV. All the stops were delicious, from the lamb barbacoa tacos served birria style to the pork belly tacos with chicharron and pickled onions to the homemade sorbet and ice cream. Shrimp tacos served with hibiscus margaritas (drinks other than water are included in the price) were a big hit with all of us. Really fun to see how tortillas are made at an open air tortilleria, and to taste them hot off the flattop - so tender! In the summer heat, it was a pleasure to drive from location to location in a super clean and comfortable air-conditioned van...and Bernardo had a wealth of knowledge about PV's history and neighborhoods. Terrific day!
If you are a foodie or just love food, this is a must!
Wonderful experience. Our guide Bernardo was terrific and very accommodating helping my husband who has a little trouble walking. Loved the variety of tacos. This was not just taco Tuesday in the states. You really get to experience the wide and delicious cuisine of Mexico. Highly recommend. We will do another tour when we return in a few months.
Best food tour in PV area
We had a great experience on our trip to Sayulita .Would highly recommend this trip if in the Puerto Vallarta area. Our guide Bernardo was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the area and the different establishments. We have been on several food tours over the years and my wife and I agreed that this was the best one we have ever been on. Great town to visit and even better food.
Tour by road was the way to go!
Wonderful guide and driver! Went to 7 different locations, all family-owned and all were amazing! I am mobility-challenged and doing the tour by road was perfect for me and my family. Joanna was a wonderful guide and really took good care of us. My entire family claimed this was their favorite tour of our 8-day cruise. Excellent overall.
