It's so good and worth every cent!
This is my third tour with Vallarta Food Tours and it gets better each time! The Vallarta by Road tour was fantastic. My cruise ship was finally there on a day they offered it and I jumped at the chance to do it. The places we went were absolutely amazing and delicious. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and did a fantastic job. I can't wait to be back and take another tour!

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!!!
Response from the operator: Hi! Thank you for your review, we are really happy to hear that Bernardo made this experience so memorable for you! We love to hear that besides the amazing food; you got to know the history behind. Bernardo Is right, all that matters is to enjoy the food! Hope to see you again for more delicious adventures! Saludos, Paul M

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!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! we are so happy to hear you had such a great experience with Bernardo! The Vallarta by road experience it's the best choice to take a peek of different sides of Puerto Vallarta and we are glad you enjoyed it. Amazing tastings, History and get to see how tortillas are made, sounds like a day! Thank you so much for joining us, we hope to see you for another delicious adventure! Saludos, Paul M.

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.
Response from the operator: Hi Matt, Thank you for the amazing review! We're honored to hear that the Sayulita tour was the best food tour you and your wife have experienced. Bernardo is passionate about sharing the local culture, history, and food scene, and we're thrilled he helped make your day so memorable. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another culinary adventure soon! Saludos, Paul M.

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Vallarta by Road Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Vallarta by Road Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Vallarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Vallarta by Road Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Vallarta is not rushed.
Is Vallarta by Road Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 181 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Vallarta by Road Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Vallarta by Road Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Vallarta by Road Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours?
+
Around 63 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Vallarta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Vallarta and add a light layer if any part of the 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Vallarta by Road Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Vallarta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Puerto Vallarta?
+
On Outty we rank every Puerto Vallarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Winner 2026 Downtown Vallarta Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats, Food & Mixology Tour:Tequila,Tacos, Mezcal and Agave Cocktails. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puerto Vallarta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puerto Vallarta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
