Hi there! Nice to meet you

Maria

¡Hola! I'm Maria, a true "Pata salada" born in the vibrant city of Mexico City but destined to live my entire life in the breathtaking paradise of Puerto Vallarta. I carry the essence of this coastal town in my heart, making me a true local at heart - "Pata salada" through and through.

Interests:

My life revolves around the things I love most - nature, music, tennis, and food. There's nothing like the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. Nature is my sanctuary, and Puerto Vallarta provides the perfect backdrop for my passion.

When I'm not soaking up the sun, you'll likely find me with a racket in hand on the tennis court. Tennis is not just a sport for me; it's a way of life. The thrill of a good match and the camaraderie on the court brings me immense joy.

And, of course, my love for food is unparalleled. Whether it's savoring local delicacies or experimenting with international flavors, I'm always on the lookout for the next culinary adventure. From street tacos to gourmet dining, Puerto Vallarta's food scene never fails to impress.

Hosting Style:

As someone deeply connected to Puerto Vallarta, I take pride in being the go-to guide for the best spots in the area. Whether it's hidden beaches or authentic eateries, I know the ins and outs of this town like the back of my hand. As your host, I'll ensure you experience the true essence of Puerto Vallarta, making your stay memorable and filled with local charm.

Join me in exploring the natural wonders, enjoying the rhythm of local music, rallying on the tennis court, and indulging in the diverse culinary delights that Puerto Vallarta has to offer. Let's make your visit an unforgettable adventure! ¡Bienvenidos a mi casa!

From the moment we met, Maria's warm personality and passionate knowledge of local cuisine made everyone feel welcome and excited for the adventure ahead. Maria isn't just a tour guide; she's a storyteller. Her deep connections with local vendors and restaurant owners provided us with authentic experiences that would be impossible to discover on our own. We were treated like family at each stop, with special dishes prepared just for our group. Maria was attentive to everyone's dietary restrictions and preferences, ensuring each person had an equally amazing experience. If you're looking to truly understand Puerto Vallarta through its food, Maria's tour is an absolute must. Her passion for her hometown and its culinary heritage shines through in every aspect of the experience. You'll leave with a full stomach, wonderful memories, and a deeper appreciation for this beautiful destination.A Fun Culinary Journey

Maria is simply the best! As a group weve been coming to PVR for 20+ years and thought we had explored most everything but she shared amazing places with us that we had never seen! She was charming, knowledgeable, and we feel like we now have a life long friend here in PVR! Maria is simply the best!

My Puerto Vallarta food tour was absolutely amazing! Our guide, Maria, was fantastic – so friendly, easy-going, and knowledgeable. She took us to hidden gems, where we tasted incredible, authentic local food. Every bite was delicious! Maria also shared fascinating insights about the city and its food culture. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Maria as your guide. It was a highlight of my trip!Fantastic!

My two girlfriends and I were lucky enough to book Maria for our first day in Puerto Vallarta. She took us to wonderful spots we would have never found had we been on our own. She was happy to adjust our tour based on our preferences, and added some wonderful site seeing in-between our restaurant stops. As promised, after our tour, she sent us all her recommendations so we could find even more amazing places on our own. Maria was a delight and we highly recommend her!Love Maria!

We have made the habit of always doing a WithLocals food tour on the first full day of our trips. Have been blessed with great guides all over the world. Maria is a rockstar. Great communication prior to our visit. Our tour was amazing. Had a wide variety of food and ate places that really had a local feel. Maria is knowledgeable and passionate about so many topics, we feel we really got a great head start for our stay! We have a friend in PV for sure!Maria is amazing!

The food selections were incredible. Maria was very accommodating and adjusted the plan to meet the various desires of our eclectic group to include cat island, swinging bridges and a stop by the booze store. Highly recommend!! The best tour we've ever had in Mexico

Maria is energetic, knowledgeable, kind, and flexible. She was willing to tailor an experience just for us! She let us make choices along the way to customize our schedule and food choices. Everything was delicious! And we tried things we’d never find on our own. Great Experience!

My wife and I had the most amazing time on a walking tour with Maria. It did not feel like one of those tours where you are constantly being talked at but more like a stroll around PV with an old friend. Maria just made it so easy!! Maria knows the area so well and also took us for the best fish and shrimps tacos we have ever come across. Maria even came with me to the pharmacy to help translate and was more than happy to continue the tour in pouring rain. We loved this experience and highly recommend Maria!!The best!

Maria was an excellent tour guide, and a great conversationalist. We learned a lot about local culture and cuisine. She specifically set up a day to show us more than just tacos, but I'm sure if you asked, she can find you the most delicious tacos... as everything we had that afternoon was delicious!More than tacos!
