Best tasting experience!

Berto was an amazing guide. Taking us to many different places we would’ve not found. Great for foodies and families. My family and I had a remarkable experience. Personally have had the best barria, pork belly and carnita taco of my life!

Taco Heaven in PV

Our guide, Karla, thought of everything. She brought water and wipes and cups for us throughout the tour. She had a lot of great background knowledge and had wonderful relationships with all of the taco establishments that we visited. It was an absolute delight to meet all of the people and try all of the wonderful various tacos. Highly recommend this tour.

Good times with Hosts Alberto & Stephen in 5 de Diciembre

We had a wonderful day with our tour guide Alberto in his hometown community, 5 de Diciembre. Alberto showed passion and love for the area he grew up. He shared how he had moved away from the area in his youth and then came back to learn to appreciate the communities depth in new ways. He took us to half a dozen spots, several family owned restaurants, a bakery, a tortilla making factory, family cemetery, local seafood market, local bakery and ended with gelato - fresh icecream! The food we ate ...read more

Adria, Stephen here. Thank you so much for the review. It was so nice to tour with you and everyone else in the group. Getting out and seeing the city back in action was very therapeutic for both me and Berto. Untouristed is by nature one of our most culturally immersive tours, and following the weekend, I couldn't think of a better place to showcase the food, culture, and resilience of the communities that keep Vallarta running. Thank you for the insightful review. Not only does it provide a great overview of what guests can expect, but also captures the spirit and energy of this unique tour. Gracias de nuevo!

Genuine Un-touristed Food Tour!!

We booked the “Untouristed Tour”. There were 9 of us, and Karla was our guide. We would do that tour over and over again. Karla was magnificent, our stops were exactly what we were hoping for — Un-Touristed, and very genuine. The food was fantastic, and as were the proprietors of each locations. Again, we cannot say enough about our guide, Karla. She had great energy, knowledge, humor, and Patience. We were 9 women, and highly recommend this tour

Fantastic and Authentic Experience - Don’t MISS this one!

This is a don’t miss activity staring mid morning until around 2 pm, taking you to some wonderful hidden family restaurants and taco stands in the 5th of December neighborhood. Which we learned is older and more authentic than Old Town. We have been on several Vallerta Eats after Dark Tours, which are fantastic for an evening activity, but we all LOVED this tour with Alberto!

Hola, Mark. Thank you for the review and for returning to Vallarta Eats for your PV food tour experience. We are so glad you enjoyed the authenticity and immersive experience of our "Untouristed" tour. Because it is more off the beaten path of some other tours, many guests are apprehensive about booking it. We know your review and insight will help change a few minds. Gracias de nuevo!
