San Pancho alone is worth this trip! - Sadly, tragically even, I’ve forgotten the name of our guide who was FABULOUS! Our driver was Ismael. I learned so much about the history of the region and it’s indigenous peoples, SAN Pancho was the highlight for me, and I happily would have spent all our time there. The town is unique in its sustainable approach, and is a hotbed of creativity. They even have a circus school for local kids started by Giles Laliberté, the founder of the Cirque du Soleil. Sayulita is a tourist town. You can shop, eat and go to the beach. If there’s anything else to do, I missed it. Vallarta adventures, if you can add the name of our guide in the comments, I’d appreciate it. He was so good I’d take any tour he leads.

Use Villarta Adventures - This is the most awesome company for travel excursions that I've ever gone to. This excursion is just so nice to go to local areas and experience the ambiance. Please feel safe with this company and know that based on my multiple excursions with them, that you will have a great time.

Fantastic Tour - Our Guide, Mauricio, was superb. The driver, Julio, is his comic side kick. They made our tour! This company is organized and professional. Highly recommend.

Fabulous Day - A fabulous day. Lots of tastings….more than snacks! Great guide (KARLA) and driver (Christian) thumbs up for sure. Highly recommend it. Learned so much about the culture, country and people in general.

Guide to Sayulita and San Pancho - Out guide, Alejandro was simply the best! Very knowledgeable , accommodating, personable and fun! A safe driver and very passionate about his country and culture. His lunch suggestion was fantastic! 10/10!

More time in Sayulita was desired. - Our Guide Juan Carlos was awesome. We enjoyed the visits to both towns, and stops along the way to sample treats. Our stop to sample sope at a new restaurant took too long resulting in minimal time in Sayulita. I like the idea of supporting the locals, especially new businesses, but this stop should be quicker. I wanted to explore more of Sayulita.

Grrrrreat - Franco was wonderful. He was courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, patient and helpful. Enjoyed the trip overall. Bus driver was also good/safe driving.Enjoyede the sampling of some fruits and chocolates. Hibiscus water. Enjoyed the cocoa shop . Only downfall was the weather - hot and humid.

Where was San Pancho? - I wish there had been time in San Pancho to see the town and visit the beach. We could have visited EITHER the road market OR the chocolate shop. And spent less time at lunch. The additional activities should be noted on the tour description so we know what we are signing up for.

Interesting information- cute towns but not enough time on our own. - There was less free time to roam the towns and we were the only English speakers and most of the information was in Spanish

Disappointing tour. - We must say that we were all disappointed in this tour. Nothing to do with Carla our hostess. Carla and the driver was fine. It was the tour itself. When we visit new towns, we expected to hear about the town itself. There was not much history to learn. And in Saluyita, it was free time. The whole group split and we were to re-meet at a certain time. The lunch is not a lunch. It was a sample of food. The washroom in San Pancho market were discussing. And the one at the restaurant were not working. Sorry, I can’t recommend this.
