What To Expect
We begin our tour at our first major stop: Parque Hidalgo. This plaza has been a fixture in Vallarta’s landscape for generations, yet hidden in plain sight is the fascinating past of this historic location.

5.00Gia is one heck of a host! I go to Vallarta often and have done many tours along the years and this ranks high in my books. While I know plenty about the city’s history, Gia finds a way to put life into the way she explains things and it was beautiful getting to learn more. 10/10 would recommend!
Highly recommend

5.00I like doing historical/ghost walking yours when visiting cities and was happy to find this one pop up on Trip Advisor. The tour took us from 5 De Deciembre through Malacon ending close to Zona Romantica. It was an easy and enjoyable walk. Our guide Gia was a great story teller and did a really nice job presenting the history of Puerto Vallarta and speaking about some of the ghostly sightings at certain stops. For me the length of the tour was perfect. I highly recommend this tour if you like ghost stories and learning about the history of a city. It is also a great way to become familiar with an area of a city if you've never visited it before.
