Review of Puerto Vallarta’s private ATV tour, with Sierra Madre trails, river stops, local food, tequila tasting, safety tips, and value advice.

“Lots of fun and sun!!! Rafa was an amazing private tour guide, made sure we were safe while driving through the back roads of downtown. Brought us to an amazingly beautiful waterfall at Mi Abuelo’s. We stopped off at an amazing Mountain View and had picture taken by I believe Eric. We ended up buying all photos he took of us. We ended up at a little spot of Rafa’s co-worker for lunch for the most AMAZING Pollo Chipotle I have ever had. I even asked for the recipe. Yumm!!! So much fun just wish we could have really gotten to some high speeds. Otherwise highly recommend!! If we come…”

The only tip is that the boat is not in PV and it was about a 40-50 min drive to get to there location. Well worth the travel time. The photographer was also swell!!!”

The scene immediately outside the airport was chaotic, with little direction as to where to line up for the grayline booth. Staff was friendly but they obviously did not have enough vehicles on site for those who booked transport.”
