Amazing experience - Anna Lo was amazing. She told us about the local history, stories of the people who made our food and stories about the food. This company is great. They pay the makers full price and contribute to local charities.

Amazing Taco Breakfast Tour with Cha Cha! - Cha Cha was amazing from the start. We loved that her business and the taco stands we frequented were all owned by women. Cha Cha was very knowledgeable about the history of the area, the food and the people we met. The food was excellent and we would highly recommend the tour. Her fun personality and enthusiasm really made the excursion 5 star.

Best Tour Ever! - We had an absolutely amazing experience and highly recommend booking! Chacha was one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. Far beyond just a taco tour, this is a fascinating lesson in the food, history, culture, and economics of PV. You will leave with a full stomach and heart!

Local flavours made with traditional recipes and flavour beyond any other - A must do foodie tour located in Zona Romantica off the tourist area in the heart of local neighborhoods. We tasted tacos, quesadillas, churros and water based popsicles made by those who know how best to make flavourful foods. We visited 8 local vendors and ate so much for the value we pad for this tour. Our guide Anna-Lo was so giving of her time and knowledge. You need to really experience this one of a kind tour.

Highly recommend Vallarta Local - Great tour. Right amount of stops and food. Our guide was Cha Cha who was excellent in discussing food, the stories of the proprietors and general culture. We did a tour with them 3 years ago which was equally good. I also love that they give to meaningful charities.
