Great tour with lots of free time to explore! - This is a great trip to two beautiful cities. There is so much history to learn, food to try, and sites to see in any place we stopped. Our guide, Daniel, was very well educated on all and led us on a great tour. Bonus: We tried fruits and snacks at a roadside vendor and Sopes at a restaurant founded by an innovator during the pandemic. Both were amazing!

Great visit to two beautiful towns along with unique food samples! - This is a great trip to two very dynamic little towns with so much to see and learn. Our guide, Daniel, was very informative with all of the history of the two towns, and all of the history of the roads and surrounding areas. We had 1.5hrs of free time in both towns to explore, shop, and/or go down to the beach. Bonus 1: We stopped at a roadside market and received 10+ samples of different fruits and candies to try. We also got to see the owner processing a jack fruit for his candies. Learning about the many local fruits that you otherwise wouldn't hear about or try on your own was a liked by all! Bonus 2: Sopes at Su Pancha Madre in San Pancho. This is a dish we have not seen in P.V. and to hear the story from the owner, Mar, about how and when he started this business and how he changed the traditional sope ingredients was amazing. On top of all this, he started the only International Sope Festival that attracts chefs from world-wide and grows each year. We were given a traditional sope, only eaten by Aztec kings, when they were first created. We were also given a meat sope with a very tender flat iron steak strips. Both were amazing! This is a must see/do trip for anyone visiting P.V.!

Go if you want a taste of local culture! - Vallarta Adventures WAY undersells this outing! It was superb! Our guide, "Chema" was a fount of information about the culture, history, native plants and other facts of the region. He played the native flute and conveyed "pride of place" and the warm and welcoming sensibility of local culture. Both he and the driver, Christian, were always friendly, attentive, and helpful. The food offerings were varied and tasty and the time--6 hours--was enough to tire us, but maybe just shy of what we would have liked. We will be back for more of these two special towns, San Francisco (Pancho) and Sayulita! Congrats to Vallarta Adventures!

Sayulita…great day trip! - Sayulita is a quaint beach town about 1 hour from Nuevo Vallarta. Great food and drinks on the beach at a reasonable price. Lots of shopping, restaurants and bars in town. Town area is only a block or two from the beach. Everything is within walking distance.

Nice to learn about the history and future of each town. - Really enjoyed the ECO Stop for lunch at ChuMuk! Go Compost and Recycling Team! Sayulita is busy but worth the stop - Surfer town. San Pancho was more chill - Yoga, Recycling and giving back to the community by helping single moms and creating a safe place for kids to grow and explore.

Fantastic day. - My husband and I went on tour with Fernanda and Christian. The ride was comfortable and we visited an exceptional outdoor market in San Pancho. We ate at a sope restaurant that was outstanding. We were then dropped off at Sayulita for an hour. The town is beautiful and bustling. Our ride home was smooth. Overall , 5 star experience

Great tour to see more of Mexico - Another great tour from Villarta Adventures that I recommend. We went to 2 small towns that were awesome to check out. Breakfast was such a delight at Su Panche Madre in San Pancho where we had gourmet sopes. So delicious and loved the owner! So passionate! Sayulita was a great town to walk around in. Walked through the market, stopped for a drink - shopped a bit more. Glad we did the tour - we would definately go back for a day to spend more time. Our bus ride was great and very informative with our tour guide giving us more local culture.

Great tour and Jackie - Definitely recommend! Our tour guide Jackie, who you’ll likely get if you do this tour (on Tuesday’s and Fridays) was wonderful. Our bus driver was also good, felt very safe with him driving. The bus is a higher-end comfortable ride. San Pancho was our favorite and we hope to get back there someday and spend more time. The restaurant with the complimentary sopes (Su Pancha Maure) there was great, they made some special vegetarian/vegan ones for us and we got to hear the owner’s story (he was very friendly and charismatic). Sayulita was also interesting, a very interesting and surprisingly lively place to see. Our group had about 13 people which was a nice amount.

Beautiful Towns! - Fantastic trip! Fernanda and Julio were fantastic! It was a great way to experience some local culture! The food was good and the towns were wonderful to wander around.

Don't waste your money! - The Vallarta Adventure staff were very nice, Jacquie was very informative about Mexican culture and Christian was a very competent driver. Found that this tour was pricey for what we received. It was basically a ride to a fruit stand and then to each of the towns which included being dropped off for 40 minutes in San Pancho after a small but tasty lunch and 1.5 hours in Sayulita to wander around the towns. It felt like little more than a glorified taxi! Definitely NOT worth the money
