Our guide was Gustav. And he was excellent. He is a wealth of information about Mexico’s history in a particularly the history of Vallarta. The dishes were excellent. Would highly recommend.
Thank you for the review! We’re happy to know Gustav’s local take on the history of PV and the food made the tour memorable. We appreciate your recommendation!
Tour was fantastic. Our guide was so knowledgeable about the different restaurants and also about the history of the area.
Hola y gracias. So glad to hear that you enjoyed our Tasting Vallarta dinner tour. It is a great opportunity to see a different side of the food scene in Vallarta. Thank you so much for the review.
Great guide, awesome restaurants, wonderful experience!! Would go back and do this exact tour again when in PV. Highly recommend.
Lauren, we are so glad you enjoyed getting a taste of what Vallarta has to offer aside from our amazing street foods. Great to know you would take the tour again, it is a great testament to the experience. Muchas gracias!
Really great evening. Terrific taste treats. Worth every penny.. Gustavo was the best guide; friendly, informative, and fun. Loved this tour.
Thank you for the review and insight. We are thrilled to hear that you found value in choosing a guided tour to experience the food and culture of Vallarta.
A wonderful experience! Our guide Gustavo was charming, and well informed- not only about the restaurant scene, but also local history, architecture and culture. We plan to return to some of the new to us restaurants that we visited. Highly recommended!
Hola y gracias. So glad you enjoyed "Tasting Vallarta" with Gustavo. It is a great tour for trying the foods of Vallarta beyond the amazing street foods.
Gustavo is a fantastic guide with abundant local knowledge. Each stop was flavorful and unique. I recommend being hungry.
Thank you for the review. Gustavo has such great pride for Vallarta and it really shines through, and great to know that we lived up yo our "Come Hungry" advisory. Muchas gracias!
My husband and I had a great time on this tour. We visited four restaurants, each very different from the others. The first was a tiny "hole in the wall" with Argentinian and Italian food - not a combination I expected, but every thing was delicious, including the wine from Argentina. Next was a chile relleno and a very classic Caesar salad in a restaurant that showed slides from old PV on the wall across the street - a bit of history with our food! Next a very modern and creative Mezcal place on the Malecon with superb ceviche, Mezcal drinks and a great taco. Finally, flaming bananas and flan at the River Cafe. Gustavo, our guide, was full of great stories about the food, this terrific city and some of his own experiences. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, and recommend it (and him!) highly...
Muchas gracias. So great to l know your enjoyed your dinner tour with Gustavo. We appreciate your recap and insight. It will surely help others considering our Tasting Vallarta tour for their next visit.
The progressive dinner was excellent. The food was great — although, way too much. The drinks were great. We got a good cross section of Mexican food. Our guide, KaitlIn, was helpful, knowledgeable, informative, and a true pleasure to be with. Overall — a great experience.
What a great review. When we say "Come Hungry" we mean it. So glad you enjoyed our progressive dinner tour and liked the range of foods offered. We appreciate the review.
100% recommend this tour. It was a fun way to sample new restaurants and to learn about their city and its food traditions. Gustavo, our guide, was fun and charming.
Great to hear that you enjoyed your night out exploring Old Town with Gustavo. Thank you for the valuable feedback for other guests considering Vallarta Eats. Gracias!
Five stars of fun! Five stars of delicious food. The restaurants were beautiful, clean and welcoming. These restaurant tours of small groups, only four of us in our tour, are excellent. Our guide Gustavo was not only a food guide but a history guide as he lead us through the beautiful streets of PV to our next meal. Arrive with an appetite as the delicious dishes just keep on coming! Wine & cocktail pairing. Can I say again 5 stars!
Hola y gracias. We can't can't ask for a better review. It makes us so happy to hear that we were able to deliver a multi five-star experience for you. Thank you again.
