The ride on the way to the top - The views were amazing! Charlie our guide made sure we were comfortable. We got to see some of the town and go up the mountain. Tequila tasting and a stop to get food. All around great experience.

Perfect ATV Adventures for Beginners - This was an amazing experience. Having never driven an ATV before, this was definitely something that was out of my comfort zone. When I heard the ATVs are manual and require some shifting, I wasn't sure if I could do it. Charlie was our guide and he did an amazing job teaching us how to operate the vehicles. Safety is a big concern for them so if you are looking for a crazy ATV tour where you can show off some tricks, this is NOT the tour for you. However, if you enjoy the idea of a drive through the beautiful mountains on an ATV, then this is DEFINITELY the tour to take. There is one stop for a tequila tasting and then another stop at a restaurant by a river for some delicious food. By far this was my favorite experience of our trip!

Stop reading and book your tour! - Seems like there are many ATV tour options in PV...however, if you are reading this - stop here - and book this tour. My girlfriend and I were in PV for a week and could not have gotten more lucky to have chosen Estigo tours and received Charly as our ATV guide. Charly made the day an absolute blast - super fun, incredibly knowledgable, genuine and knows the area very well. The entire day was perfect and not once did we feel any lack of safety etc. If you can get Charly as your ATV guide, you are in for an amazing day :) (p.s. ..and don't forget to tip your tour guides no matter where you go)

Sooo much fun! - Another great experience in PV!! So much fun, you really get a great opportunity to see a lot of the city and rural area that you wouldn’t necessarily see otherwise! Love that the entire experience is you on the ATVs from leaving the city to coming back! Great stops along the way, wonderful guides and overall well worth it!

Sierra Madre ATV Adventure is awesome! - My husband and our very dear friend took the Sierra Madre ATV Adventure and we're speechless on the scenic grandeur. Our tour guide, Angel was highly knowledgeable and very aware of every customers needs. The Tequila distillery and restaurant went above and beyond on their food and services. Our next ATV tour will most definitely be with Estigo Tours. We love this adventure and highly recommend this to friends and family.

¡Aventura más excelente!!! - Well, first, the staff and ATV team were the best!!! Pedro was very welcoming and spoke english... and helped get me setup. Then, the adventure began!! Angel led the way - the main or lead ATV guide. Very safe and cautious but also knew when to let us open it up! The path up the mountains was great - many switchbacks and exciting! Erick and Charlie kept watch over us from rear and forward..... changing positions to direct traffic - like the vaca mama cow at the dry river bridge! :D.... - and to take our pics. The ATV was very responsive and powerful, and altho I tried not to fishtail, failed often ;) and then there was the ranch - wonderful tequilla tasting and hosts - much fun amd entertaining!!! It was a show onto itself! :p) They make their own brand of tequilla - moy bien mas!! The river stop at the restaurant was excellent - food, service, and cervases!! Definitely recommend this adventure and team!!!

You should do this in PV! - Great time! My wife and I rented a 2 seater ATV. The last time I had been on one was about 35 yrs ago! We're in our 60's today. Very concientious guides. We felt safe even on the busy roads of PV leading up to the mountians. You'll see places you'll never see otherwise! 2 stops at local bar/tequila distillery and a resturant were welome breaks. Some reviews said they felt pressured to buy things? Not for us. Great company. Very friendly and helpful! PS - you will get covered in dust and dirt. No way around that. Bring a change of clothes and a towel and you can shower in the company bathroom if you want.

Extremely professional and high value experience - Extremely professional, more so than any other Puerto Vallarta excursion company I've experienced. Staff includes several folks who lived in the US for a long period of time so their English level and general attitude is high quality. Just be prepared to get extremely dirty from the dust so wear something that you know you'll have to take off after the ride. 1. After booking, before activity: I really appreciated them calling me 1-2 days before to confirm my attendance. Good to speak to a person, confirm meeting place, time etc. 2. ATV ride: ATV ride was exciting, we go pretty fast at times but it always felt safe. The traction was beyond my expectations. I felt I should've slid a few times but it gripped really well. Guide paid close attention to the group at all times, instructing us to slow down or go faster to catch up, or re-align with him when needed. Very safe. The guide take photos for you and are considerate enough to alternate the order in the line so everyone has a chance to get photos from while riding. They send you a link to download the photos after at no extra cost. Duration felt just right: climbed a mountain, took a break for drinks / food, climbed another mountain, then return. Guide also kindly refused to consume any alcohol during break when I offered to buy him a drink, extra safe and professional lol.

Fun day trip - We had a great time over 3 hours on the ATVs. The tour starts in town and you ride the ATVs up to the hills to loop up and down before heading back to town. There’s a stop at a bar and a restaurant. The guides did a great job keeping pace and directing traffic. It was a little jarring to ride in traffic. We had to decline the tequila tasting 4 times, so a bit of a hard sell.
