ReviewKristin
"My wife and I had the best time on this Bike and Food Tour. Our guide and was absolutely amazing!!! She was full of knowledge, fun, and made the experience unforgettable! She took us to a bunch of the best local tacos shops, local sites, markets, ice cream, and topped it off by relaxing on the beach at the end! This was a great way to see Puerto Vallarta!!!"
Sony
"We had the great pleasure of taking our third Vallarta Food tour. We had such a great experience on the first two that we decided to try the new Bikes and Bites Food Tour - 3.5 hours of biking about 4.5 miles and eating our way through 3 magnificent tacos, a batch of Tuba Juice (by Concepcion, of course!) and the best ice cream with the most unusual flavors we have ever encountered. We rode along a bike path and/or on the Malecon for the most part - there was very little street riding and when we were in the street, it was usually a quiet side street. Our guide, was fun, friendly and simply fabulous! We enjoyed his commentary, recommendations and general friendliness very much. Our first stop was a fantastic, flavorful carnitas taco with a choice of a number of salsas ranging from mild to super hot. Our second stop was an unusual pork taco where the meat was deep fried to a crispy, crunchy texture. One of the guests in our group commented that it didn’t get any better than that! True. Our third taco stop was a crispy taco (fried in the taco shell so that the shells were crispy) - also very flavorful and wonderful. Then we rode for awhile until we found Concepcion and his Tuba Juice - if you have not tried this juice, you are missing out on one of the most flavorful drinks in the region. Our last stop was to an ice cream shop where all the ice cream is made by hand and includes some of the most unusual flavors - mescal & fig, strawberry, cherry and almond, tequila, corn...the list was endless and you could try as many as you wanted until you found a flavor you wanted to eat a whole cup of...which of course we did. We also stopped at a market to see the seafood and fresh produce as well as a vanilla shop (a must do when in Mexico). All in all it was a wonderful experience - and one we will repeat whenever we come to Puerto Vallarta - it is an excellent way to find the best regional food!"
Connie
"The food was so good. You won't want to eat before you go because the "Bites" are full home-made local portions of whatever the goodness is you are sampling. The bike riding was unique that we drove through neighborhoods and into places tourists don't typically go. Our guide was well known in all the small venues and it was like being part of his Puerta Vallarta food family as we rode through town. This activity is well worth the money. I wish there were more like them in other places. It is a great way to experience a city and its culture."
Kevin
"This bike tour is definitely light on the biking, and it is very flat, slow biking but the food and sights and scenery are great. Our tour guide is a check and has a fantastic knowledge both of Mexican cooking and good and the local scene. A wonderful and relaxing way to spend 3 hours and a great introduction to the city and it's good."
Ruby
"Our guides name is Jury and she knew exactly where to go for the best tacos and fresh smoothies. She told us about the different ways each stand prepared their special tacos and we really got the feel of being a part of the neighborhood. Bikes were in great shape and rode easy, I consider getting a upgraded cruiser for myself now. If you want to get a good idea of what's around the area to feel more comfortable exploring on your own later, absolutely do this tour. Jury even told us how to get to other hiking trails we asked about and recommended other places to visit."

"We took the tour after we had been in PV for a few days. I wish we had taken it the first day because it's a great way to orient oneself to the city. Our guide was very knowledgeable and wonderful. The bikes are great and have balloon tires so you can navigate over the cobblestones (most of the riding is NOT on cobblestones). it's easy biking. The tacos were varied and amazing and guide knows a lot about the people who own them. We also visited a smoothie place, another drink place (fermented palm tree sap with fruit!) and fantastic ice cream. We took a similar type of tour in Mexico City but this was more fun. Highly recommend"
Karina
"My husband, son and I took the Bike and Food Tour. We were able to enjoy the first 2 stops (delicious carnitas tacos and a green juice to die for) but on our way to the third stop, I fell from the bike and wasn't able to continue riding. Our guide Juri was super nice, thoughtful and quick to act, and the tour company owner immediately came to pick us up. Luckily my injury was not serious so the only thing we regret is that we were not able to finish this lovely, yummy tour. Thank you Vallarta Food Tours for your kindness, we will come back and finish that bike ride one day! :)"
Maxine
"We actually only did the taco tour as it was too busy to bike as well due to it being Semana Santa (Easter). My husband, 14yr son and myself thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Our guide, Manuel (?) was very pleasant and enthusiastic. He explained each taco and the various sauces that were available as add-ons. All were delicious! I loved the short bus ride, at one point, that made you feel like a local and the amazing churros that we had for dessert at the end of the tour. The best I've ever had! Gracias!"
Sarah
"We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and guide, Jori. All the stops featured delicious food and we saw areas of PVR that we wouldn't normally see. Be sure to check the cruise boat schedule. The day we booked the tour for was the same day the ships were in town so the boardwalk was full of tourists on excursions. The church was so packed/busy we had to skip it. We would have liked to hear more history and background on the City. Highly recommended activity and tour."
B
"Yes, I can ride a bike, but wasn't comfortable on narrow sidewalks and cobblestone streets so we quit the tour at the third location. The three stops we made had great food and I would have loved to continue. Not two minutes after we told our guide that we were leaving the tour he came back to tell us that he had contacted the owner and we would be getting a refund. We certainly didn't expect this. We were also given other incentives to make us feel better and try another tour. I would say this is a fine organization with the customer's needs coming first. I recommend them highly. We did take another tour which was great and I'll review that separately."
