City Tour - Highly recommend this city tour. After a convenient hotel pickup, we learned about the city from a professional guide while visiting sites like the Malecón, the Municipal Palace, Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, the artisans' market, and a tasting at a tequila distillary. We saw the Vallarta letters and other sculptures on the boardwalk. We also went to a jewelry store which sold beautiful silver and opal pieces. We had lunch at a hillside restaurant away from the city, near a beautiful river. We met the chef, Doña Rosa, and had a delicious fresh fish dinner and margharita. Our driver was Omar and our tour guide was Miguel. They were great. Miguel had an extensive knowledge of the history of the area and answered all the questions we had. He was very friendly and was able to provide personal stories of growing up in the area. The van was air conditioned and very comfortable.

Outstanding Day - Not family with children but with 90 y/o mom in wheel chair ! The attention our mother got from Elfonso the tour guide and Luis our driver was outstanding. As well, the other guests on the bus were so accommodating. The tour was much more than I ever expected. A great overall introduction to PV with highlights of most popular areas, Mercado Municipal, The jewellery shop, Los Arcos view point and shopping, plus all the way to and past Mismaloya. Elfonso was very knowledgeable regarding many things besides the tour highlights. The bus was airconditioned and the seats very comfortable. I really enjoyed the unique out of the way restaurant. Definitely recommend anyone to relive our day

Awesome! - The pick up time was delayed due to traffic issues. I was upset that the pick up was delayed. The tour guide apologized and off we went! This tour was amazing! The tour guide was great and very informative! We were chaperones at each stop and enjoyed a great lunch that was included. Highly recommend this tour and would not hesitate to do it again!

City Tour - Very good price for what you get! Tequila tasting was good! Nice introduction to the romantica zone. Was expecting to go to a restaurant at night but that never happened but was still happy with the excursion:)

Excellent value. - Miguel and Louis were excellent tour guides. Miguel brought the history of PV and area to life. He was extremely informative on the day to day life of Mexicans today. Yes, it has a shopping element, but you are free to partake or not. Boy, did Louis get us out of a rock and a hard place!!! Excellent driver. Great restaurant in a typical village for lunch. A really enjoyable day.

Could have been better - The parts of the tour we experienced was great. We missed an hour of the tour because of issues on your end and was compensated with a bottle of wine. We were transferred to another tour company to complete the tour.

Wrong name for this tour - This was advertised as a CITY TOUR but was actually a shopping trip 😡 with long stop at jewelry factory, then a long stop at the leather factory. We did get to see and spend 15 minutes at the cathedral. Did have a good lunch in the middle of no where 🤔. Then visited the tequila factory which was interesting. I thought it was more historical and city knowledge but I was wrong. If you love to shop THIS is the tour for you. It was from 10am and got back at my hotel at 6pm.

Guide was excellent but the tour was not good! - Besides not seeing much of the “city”, we waited at every stop well beyond the time allocated and so it was a very annoying and frustrating tour… not worth your time. It did not start well when the bus was an hour late from the time designated for pickup. We waited 30 minutes for a bathroom break 15 minutes into the tour. We waited for people getting ice coffees when that wasn’t even a stop. We waited 30 minutes for 20 people in our group to get fruit from a single street vendor. We waited an hour for people to shop for silver jewelry when our guide said 20 minutes. We waited 1.5 hours for people to eat lunch. We waited for people to shop for tequila. We waited and waited and waited. Additionally we had both Spanish and English people on our 30+ passenger bus and they would talk when our guide was giving information in English… loud enough that we couldn’t hear him. Because our guide had to speak both Spanish and English we felt we may have missed out on things that could have been shared while walking/driving by places. We would recommend to the company they offer a bus for English only or Spanish (or other languages) only per tour. We also thought this was a “City Tour” but the majority of the time was spent driving in the country along to coast to the small village where we had lunch and the tequila factory. We had already booked a tour to see much of that area, so this was also frustrating. Sadly we hardly saw any part of the “city” of Puerto Vallarta on this tour.
