The most fantastic city trip with exceptional guide Mr.Daniel - From where can I start? It was such a wonderful trip with all indepth knowledge beautiful city. On top of that guide Mr.Daniel is super friendly and fun to talk with. He and driver were really helpful. It takes around 8 hours to see the top ticks of PV which is best if you come for the 1st time. We have a 1 year old baby so was worried how it will work for us but surprisingly both mr Daniel and driver made it so easy for us.thank you so much. So don't have a second thought and go for it. It's super fun and amazing experience 👍❤️🥰

Yes! So it! - Omigoodness! Just do it! I took this tour today with Daniel as our guide and Lorenzo as our driver. Both highly professional and knowledgeable. Pick up was at the cruise terminal (do get clarification which OXXO store) on time, after picking up another couple. Three of us has almost a private tour. We went to Malacon. Old Town. Romantic town. Out of town. We had opportunities to shop for opals after learning about local sourcing. We visited a gorgeous leather store. Then headed out to tequila tasting. Since I wasn’t interested, Daniel took me next door to a coffee house where the woman sent her daughter to get milk so I could have the cappuccino I requested. Very personal and accommodating. The whole day. We ended with a lovely lunch (own expense, own selection) at a beautiful outdoor restaurant setting. Then a chance to see some adorable monkeys, and back to town. Daniel’s English is perfect and his enthusiasm for his country is clear. He is well informed and offered many truths and tips. So much so that I am ready to move to PV! Truthfully, I had low expectations because of the very reasonable price but I got so much more than the cruise mates on high price tours with big buses to see much less.. highly recommend this tour!

Great excursion - This was a great excursion. Our tour guide Daniel made it exceptional. The information we received about Puerto Vallarta and Mexico was delivered in an informative and entertaining way. Couldn't have asked for anything better! The van was clean and comfortable and pickup was right on time. We were able to experience what a wonderful city Puerto Vallarta is.

10/10 Would Recommend - The staff was so friendly. Ricky was our guide and he knew what he was doing and how to bring the energy up. Diego was the photographer and captured some amazing pictures. The experience was wonderful. Saw a whale when we weren’t even trying. Some beautiful spots were shown and we got to explore.

Great Intro To Puerto Vallarta! - Great intro to the city for first timers! David and Bernardo were amazing tour guides, had great stories and great energy! I was pregnant and able to do everything (with the exception of the Tequila tasting obviously)! The national park was great too would recommend! They supply you with water too, as it does get hot out!

A lovely visit… - A beautiful tour of the city, with Daniel (tour in English) with lots of very interesting information. Visit to jewelry, leather, candy and tequila distillery shops, to see the manufacturing process, this point is interesting, on the other hand we feel pressure to make purchases, less interesting. Otherwise, it's a very nice visit, a dinner in the mountains (not included), we see the city and a little of the suburbs (the mountains). This gives a general idea and allows us to come back and discover the points that interest us more!

Interesting but too much pressure sales. - Beautiful guided tour with lots of information from our guide Daniel. Unfortunately the 3 visits to the shops are really not interesting, pressure sales…. The tequila tasting with the history of tequila was also very interesting, but the main goal is to sell you alcohol and or souvenirs. Really a shame because without the 3 shops it would be an excellent tour. This allowed us to see several points of interest, which we returned to see for ourselves.
