Gina was our tour guide. She was really good explaining the history and details of the culture. We stopped at a bakery, tequila factory, and silver shop. We contributed to the economy by buying small items here and there along the way. We ate a delicious lunch next to the town’s church. Overall it was great experience to visit this magical town. 2 hours from Puerto Vallarta.

I went to San Sebastian. There were 3 of us on the tour, plus the guide and driver. They were very nice and knowledgeable. The town is up in the mountains. There really isn't much there but a small town with cobble stone street and a square. Not much shopping. We had a nice lunch. The nicest thing was seeing the mountain life on the way and stopping at a bakery, tequila maker and a coffee maker. It was very comfortable and a nice day trip to see some different scenery. The tour was run well.

I'm so glad we didn't come and go from beautiful Puerto Vallarta without joining in on this experience. We'd been seeing the fireworks every night from wherever we were on the boardwalk or hotel, and could see the lit up boat throughout it's sail and didn't think much of it. Then we got an opportunity to do it on one of our free nights. Again. So glad we did. The crew had an energy that just drew you in. Their commitment to the character they were in was exceedingly impressive. And the crowd participation was very necessary and very effective as most people there, like me, may not have had all that energy on their own - which is a must to truly enjoy your night. Get in to it. We were fortunate to be a part of the show as my wife was brought up to play along with a couple other ladies during a particular fun segment. That eventually brought their mates up, so up I went too. It was a blast. Perhaps we enjoyed it so much because we were drawn in directly, but still, I got the impression that the whole boat was rocking to the beat of this upbeat (and some beat up but I won't give too much away) crew. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and I also really enjoyed the food. If you're expecting the plate itself to be worth the price of adminssion, you are mistaken. The crew and their well-performed show, while out on a cruise with amazing views is what the price of admission paid for. The food was great nonetheless; but it's an overall package deal that is well worth the price and then some. And by then some i mean: please hook this crew up as best you can. Bring cash and add it to their booty. They will have earned it!

Eteban, was such a pleasure to work with. He ensured not only our transportation from to airport to the hotel was taken care of as well as getting us back to the airport the day of departure. He also got with us on day 1 to plan and schedule all the excursions and adventures my family and I wanted to do. We were able to get them scheduled with discounts. He was quite helpful. On one of our days we left some items in a taxi and didn't realize it before they left. Esteban went above and beyond to assist and help in identifying the Taxi and communicating with his local contacts to get our items delivered back to our hotel. I didn't think we would get those items back. He was essential in an awesome trip and such a friendly helpful gentleman. We would use him and Gray Lines again anytime.
