Carla was amazing!

5.00We look a private tour with Carla and it was fantastic - 10/10 would recommend. The open air bus was a plus. Zip lining with Eco Orbit Adventures was so fun and lunch at Ok Corral was OUTSTANDING.
Unforgettable experience

5.00I have several visits to Puerto Vallarta and have taken some tours. The difference of this tour with the previous ones is the attention. Throughout the tour that was private, Pina always tried to ensure that everything was excellent and that we enjoyed each of the places with enough time, especially the beautiful madagascar beach. For me the treatment of the service provider is very important and in this case, Pina is the best host I have ever had, always attentive and friendly. Thank you very much.

Fantastic Private tour with Josefina

5.00I received a call on Whatapp the day prior to our trip and spoke to Josefina who was very helpful and we set up a meeting point at a Star Bucks. Before hand the day of she she sent us a photo of her at Starbucks so we knew who we were meeting. She asked if we would prefer to have a private tour with her instead of doing the bus tour which would take us to beaches and we were not prepared for the beach. We agreed we would rather do a private city tour and she was fantastic. She took us to many interesting places and explained as we went. She was an excellent driver and knew the city extremely well. She made sure we stopped whenever we needed and made sure we had plenty of bathroom breaks and refreshment breaks. She took us to Boardwalk, Romanic area, houses of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Then we went to the area where The Night of the Iguana was filmed. Scenery was wonderful and she took us to several vendors along the way that were fair with their prices. We took an extended tour and went further south to a restaurant that she recommended and we were very pleasantly pleased with the food and location on the River. In addition she took us back to our hotel which was quite a bit out of her way. I would highly Recommend her to anyone who would like a knowledgeable and personable tour guide.
Lots of fun good food good people

5.00Pina was our guide and the tour was fantastic. It is a very authentic experience. We saw the real Puerto Vallarta. The food (which is not included in the tour price) was amazing. Super fresh and well prepared sea food. My kids loved the beach. My husband and I enjoyed the tequila tasting. I highly recommend this tour.
4 hours of tour and selling.

4.00Overall good tour. Be prepared that every stop is intended to sell you something. Would prefer if it wasn’t so overt and obvious, but all together it is mostly worthwhile.
Short and complete
