Crusin - This was the funnest tour I did. Being able to drive around town in the buggys was a hit. Each stop to learn about the town was informative. Make sure you know how to drive stick shift.

This was an amazing tour.... - This was an amazing tour. We were lucky to be the only ones who had booked for the day so we got a private VIP tour with our guide Mario who drove us around pv. We got to go to the amazing botanical gardens as well as the tequila factory. We were then taken to Ms maloya Beach where we had some amazing lunch on the beach and then had a boat ride to Los arcos and went for a swim. It was an amazing experience and we would totally do it again. Unfortunately at the end of the ride back to town the buggy broke down but luckily there was another one there that we just swapped into real quick and made our way back to town. All in all this is a very fun tour and well worth the time and money. Would totally do it again.!

Fun on four wheels - Absolutely terrific. So much fun. Mario was a great guide and the back up team were a lot of fun, too. The tequila tasting was much better than expected and I came home with 3 bottles and I never liked it before. The boat ride was a special trip around Los Arcos. The botanical garden was beautiful. The whole day was wonderful.

A must do while in Puerto Vallarta - A FULL day of FUN! - We all 100 percent recommend this tour. Mario was amazing! He made the day so much fun! We had a smaller group and everyone checked in early, so we left about 945am and I believe we returned about 430pm, so it is definitely a full day! The first stop of our tour was at a roadside booth with multiple vendors where we were told to have the Mexican Breakfast (aka Coronitas) so bring some pesos/dollars to partake it that ;), then Mario took photos of everyone in front of Los Arcos while at that stop. They do ask you to email them after the tour and they send a Dropbox with the photos (we received them week after the tour 🎉). From there, we went to the Botanical Gardens, which was so beautiful. We walked down to the river and waded a bit through the rocks, checked out the different houses (succulent/cactus and orchid) and the Vanilla Plantation. There is a gift shop here as well as a bar/restaurant. Next stop was the Tequila Tasting - very low pressure sales - tequila was very good though. After that, it was off to the beach area where we all had lunch together. Mario takes your food order before you leave from the tequila tasting. Some of the options were fajitas, quesadillas, burger, chile relleno. Plus, he ordered guacamole for the table. The food was good. You can order drinks on your own tab when you arrive at the restaurant. After lunch we were able to choose between a boat ride (snorkel off boat is optional and included) or lounging on the beach, where you could continue with table service beverages if you so wished. We opted for the boat ride, which was so neat. We were able to see manta and sting rays in one of the Arcos. We learned about the area and did a little snorkeling in a roped off area. Life jackets, snorkels and masks are provided for snorkeling. Then it was a nice ride straight back to the starting point. I do have to say, I booked direct on their website but I was a little leery if our reservation was totally accepted because once payment is submitted it just says “Thank you. Your order has been received.” - there was no email/text follow-up with a confirmation or additional information. Then, I wasn’t 100 percent sure where we started, I couldn’t find that information on their website. I did email about that, but didn’t receive an email back. But we arrived at Calle Columbia 1324 5 de Decembre - which was the contact information on their website (and now I see if here on TripAdvisor) and it was the right location, thankfully! I would recommend this tour over and over again - it was a fun day out and so neat to see other parts of Puerto Vallarta. Mario is a gem of a human and we enjoyed our time with him.

interesting - other travellers should know that it’s a really good experience and all the excursions are good but the buggies frequently break down and the engines are kind of old and it’s very rusty so it’s also a stick shift. They’re personally very hard to drive but I think it’s a good experience if you get a driver.
