Most of our tours last between 3 and 3.5 hours and our group sizes are up to 10 in our public tours but can be up to over 100 people in a private experience.

Please contact us in advance so we can recommend the best option. We can also do a custom private tour.

It was love at first bite

Meet Lindsay & Paul, founders and owners

Their hearts were stolen by Mexico. Paul, born in Mexico City, and Lindsay, originally from Portland, have called Puerto Vallarta home for over 17 years. Both of their boys were born here, proudly earning the nickname “pata saladas” (or salty feet, a term for locals). Their deep love for Puerto Vallarta—its people, culture, and stunning natural beauty—inspired them to create the city’s finest culinary tours.
