Explore Puerto Vallarta by private van, from the Malecon and Mismaloya to local neighborhoods and a family tequila tasting.
“I learned a ton about the city and Mexico in general. My guide Cervando has had an incredible life growing up in PV. He shares wonderful stories around every corner and seems to know everyone in the town. The tour was almost 6 hours and I would do it again in a heartbeat. He points out places for pics, wildlife, history, culture, and trivia. He has been a tour guide in this city for 20 years so knows every nook anc cranny. If you are like me and like personal tours that are relaxed and comfortable, where you can ask questions and have a custom experiences, this is the tour…”
