Whether a family with children, a couple, a group of friends or a solo traveler, my tours are highly flexible/adaptable to meet your specific interests.

Abel, our guide, was fun, informative, and entertaining. The tour was well-paced with the right amount of stops and walking along the way. The tacos, churros, and fruit pops were amazing. Specific about the tours, each stop was different, each taco was different and so if you're looking to learn a little about the history of PV and taste a variety of different tacos, you should definitely take this tour.

We were able to to try a variety of food/drink including tacos, cerviche, chicken mole, chocolate/candy, coffee and a tortilla factory. At our last stop we experienced the LaBandera tequila drink. You don't go away hungry after this trip! Jo added to the experience by sharing her knowledge about the history and culture of this community. Would highly recommend this tour!

Beautiful place to spend the day with artistic landscaping and trails to hike. Just a ten minute bus or cab ride from downtown Puerto Vallarta. Bus called el Tuito - take it at the corner of Aguacate and Carranza St. Also a gorgeous, romantic restaurant with outdoor seating. Be sure to try the complimentary hibiscus tea when you arrive.
