Informative, welcoming visit to 2 beautiful towns, a must do! - Alexa and Omar were great! Alexa introduces everybody so you feel like family on an outing, in fact she refers to you as HER family throughout the trip. Very informative on the history of both places, made sure you felt safe and well taken care. Would highly recommend this tour as a great introduction to these 2 towns, why they exist and why you'll want to go back to visit them!

Fun Town Hopping - What a fun tour! The guide planned lots of fun places for us to stop at. We especially enjoyed the candy stop! We were lucky to be in San Pancho on a Tuesday and the market was taking place. Both lively cities were fun to visit!

Relaxing and Beautiful Day - This full-day adventure took us to two beautiful towns. First in San Pancho, we went to the chocolate factory where you can get the most delicious brownies, plus chocolate and cocoa butter products. Then we went to Su Pancha Madre for a lovey lunch with owner Mauricio who told us the story of his business. At Sayulita we walked the markets and went to the beach for a while, then a last stop at an Organi-K for some beverages. Thank you to Franco, Arturo, and Mauricio for an unforgettable day. I've gone twice and would go again. I loved this tour.

A Fun Day - This was a wonderful tour! It was fun to get out of Puerto Vallarta for the day & see other areas. The van ride was very comfortable & our driver was great. We loved the stop at the roadside stand where we tried a few treats and could buy goods as well. The scenery was beautiful on the ride. The stop in San Francisco (San Pancho) was our favorite part of the trip. We wish we had a little more time to explore there but loved what we did see. Would love to go back there. Sayulita was a fun, busy town with lots to see and do. We were there on a Friday which is also market day so there was even more to see that day. Our guide recommended tacos at Naty's Cocina and they were delicious! Go down to the beach to watch the surfers. Lots of fun!

Vibrant small town visits - It was a guided tour that took about 6.5 hours. 2 small towns and a tequila tasting tour. Informative guide, safe driver and comfortable vehicle. Lunch on our own in Saulita restaurant overlooking the beach. Excellent shrimp tacos. Only wish we had more time to browse the shops and side streets.

Nice day - Sayulita too busy, San Pancho much nicer! - Karla was very sweet, made sure we had a nice day. Would have been nice to explore San Pancho on our own for a little while. Food as shown in photo was outstanding.

Disappointed…..not what we expected - The trip was not fun. A long ride in a small, crowded bus. We apparently arrived too late and were “assigned” last. My husband sat in the jump seat and I was in the back corner. The worst seats on the bus. The guide was nice, but voice too soft & never really heard her “talk”. We stopped at a chocolate factory, but spot was too small & only a few could hear the talk. Definitely not us since I was last off the bus. The highlight was having bites at an organic restaurant with the owner giving us great info. Then dropped in Sayulita to be on our own for an hour. Little time….had to chose to eat or shop. Then the long drive back to PV. We have toured with Viator many times and been very pleased. Not with this one. I don’t recommend unless you like long bus rides in cramped quarters & not much else.
