Definitely Recommend

Found some places to revisit during our stay. Local places that would not have not been our radar. Not the typical “tourist” stops. Tastings were delicious. Good value for the $$. Easy unhurried walk.

Fun Food Tour

This was a fun food tour and Al was great! All the places were family owned and been around from 30-50 years!

Best PV experience

We have toured with this company many times. Each time seems a little better. Today’s tour was absolute perfection. Our guide, Silvia, was charming and knowledgeable. Her English was perfect and she went at a relaxed pace that was on point for our six family members aged 50 to 64. Every taco on the Taco tour was a delicious surprise and the aqua frescas kept us from succumbing to the humidity. Go on this tour and give your tour guide a fat tip because they earn it.

Fantastic food and guide

We had a great time and our guide Al was fantastic. He provided lots of interesting information along the way. The food was all really good. It was great to go to local spots and have someone take us around the town. Great time.
