We do a taco tour with Vallarta Eats every time we visit Puerto Vallarta and they never disappoint. We had youngster along on this visit and the shorter tour was perfect. We loved every bite!

Thank you, Vallarta Eats Food Tours. It was so much fun walking around the city with you and discovering the best street food Vallarta has to offer. We also learned a little more about the local culture. You were incredibly special during this fun experience. You were extremely professional and knowledgeable about what Puerto Vallarta has to offer. We can only say thank you so much for offering us this experience. Everything was so special and magnificent. We can't thank Vallarta Eats Food Tours enough.

Karla was a great tour guide. She was very informative and engaging. We highly recommended this tour. The walk was not too long and pretty easy. The tacos were excellent.

We had a wonderful time on our taco tour with Karla. She was amazing and knew so much about PVR, history of the city and where to find the best food in the area. The tacos were plentiful in this condensed version and ended with a surprisingly delicious sweet treat. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys any kind of taco.

The tour was exactly as promised. The guide, Karla, was great, and the tour really did beat the heat on a hot day. We visited taco stands and restaurants within a small radius, and finished by getting ice cream. I did a longer tour with Vallarta Eats a few years ago, and it was also everything it was supposed to be. A high class operation.

My wife and i went with Kevin on the morning Beat the Heat Taco tour while in PV. We hit up 4 taco stalls and one additional shop for a dessert. As we were the only one's who were on the tour; we received some real individualized history on the city and the taco culture. All the taco's were fantastic but the tour leans toward pork specialties. I'd definitely recommend this tour as it only took 2 hours and you have the rest of the day to yourself for your other priorities.

Karla was full of energy with a nack for remembering names and being informative. The walk was a perfect length and the sit down style was appreciated. Great food with generous portions.

Beat the Heat Express Tour w/ Alberto We did the 10am Beat the Heat tour with Alberto. It was a great tour as all the tacos and toppings are fresh. Mostly visited small shops that when they run out they are done. It was a great cultural experience as Alberto knew several people along the way. Great explanation about what makes each stop special. Would definitely tour with Alberto again.
