Both morning and afternoon options include the food stops; alcoholic drinks and gratuities are extra, so the tasting price does not cover everything you might order. 4.92 from 77 reviews at €46 per person for 2h 30m. In our comparison: #17 of 18 in Food & Taco Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Welcome to the heart of Puerto Vallarta.

There are some streets that have been around I dare to say many centuries.
