We chose the “Untourist” Food Tour. Karla was our guide and did a fabulous job. I felt like we got a taste and experience of the locals in PV. We did not go to any tourist locations, but we got to experience PV like the locals. Karla helped us understand the cultural aspects of PV and other areas of Mexican. I really enjoyed the way she included everyone in the tour, including the two young kids that were with us. She spent an equal amount of time with everyone group and provide a great experience. I would definitely recommend.

Come hungry and ready to eat and walk and learn! Our amazing guide, Klara, took us to seven wonderful places (finishing with candied nuts right after ice cream!). The various taco adventures were each very different from the previous one. Some indoors and modern, some street stands that have been open, run by the family, for more than 30 years. Eat the way the locals eat - and eat really well! Very yummy, with a truly wonderful guide. Highly recommended.

For anyone looking to see the authentic, non-touristy side of Puerto Vallarta, this is the perfect tour! We visited a great combination of stops including a taco stand, a family restaurant where we ate right in their dining room, a small casual restaurant, a beautiful up and coming restaurant with gourmet quality food, and a final stop for homemade ice cream. Karla was a wonderful guide as she toured us through the 5 de Diciembre neighborhood, through a local market, and even a sneak peek at a beautiful, local cemetery. We had a wonderful experience! This is the 6th time we have taken a food tour with Vallarta Eats, and they never disappoint! Highly recommend this tour AND Karla!

We booked this tour a few weeks before our trip to Puerto Vallarta. I worked directly with the owner, Stephen, over the phone and email to set up our private group of 13. He was very accommodating when it came to managing payments and getting each couple in our group squared away. He also offered his opinions and perspective on the tour options I was weighing and I couldn't be happier that he encouraged us to go with Untouristed.
Karla was our tour guide and having seen her name mentioned in other TA reviews, I knew we were in for a great experience. Not only did we eat the most delicious food of our entire trip, but we got history and cultural lessons as well! Untouristed took us through areas of Puerto Vallarta that we would not have otherwise seen, and to restaurants the locals enjoy. Karla's stories and energy carried us along as we got progressively more stuffed. This tour is one you don't want to miss. And as they recommend - come hungry.

We had a great time on the tour! It was a perfect mix of delicious tacos, interesting info about the neighborhood and background about each business owner. Ricky did a fantastic job guiding us and providing cultural insights that we would not have learned about Puerto Vallarta otherwise. Would highly recommend if you love and food and getting to know the culture of a place!
