Enjoyable time experiencing Mexico and Mole - We thoroughly enjoyed the Pueblos tour with our guide Juan Carlos and driver Omar. Juan Carlos was very knowledgeable about all things Mexico. Ending the day by making the Mole and the rest of our meal was great. Would highly recommend this tour.

The best tour in PV - This one of the best tours I've been on. Our guide Rizo (Daniel) was fantastic, was great to see a slightly different side of the area and also to cook with him. Totally recommend this tour!

LOVED - Franco and Santiago, our tour guide and driver on this tour were great, very knowledgeable, and helpful. Stopped at a chocolate farm a homemade honey store and a tortilla stand. Went to a small town and was able to walk around. We were taught how to make salsa and mole sauce paired with a delicious meal. Highly recommend this tour.

You're Going To Be Cooking. - Dany was PHENOMENAL. We loved this tour, it was our most favorite excursion. The family style cooking was great to do, even if some of our travel partners didn't realize they would be cooking a meal lol. Dany knew so much about the area, all of the locals and the ecosystems/sciences in the area. Learning about the region was a joy. We would 10/10 do this again and highly recommend it.

Great Trip!! - This Trip was Fun and full of surprises. We stopped at a Bee and Cocoa Farm. We were shown the Process of creating products with the harvested raw form. We later went to a ranch to have a BBQ and we made our own Mole sauce and Salsa from roasted vegetables. Very tasty. Fernando was very nice and very informative. She made us all feel very welcome and attended to us all. The Tour was a very pleasant way to spend part of the day.

Nayarit Pueblos and Farm, Delicious Lunch, Great guide and driver - I booked the Pueblos Cultural Tour for Monday, March 11, 2024 and was delighted to see Fernanda (tour guide) and Fernando (driver) were our Vallarta Adventures team. I enjoyed an excursion to San Sebastian with both of them in January 2024 when I was a passenger on the Crown Princess. Fernanda remembered me, and she made everyone feel welcome as primos of her "familia" learning our names and where were from. We visited a chocolate garden, a honey store, a tortillaria, the plaza and church, then a farm with Tilapia fish pond, sheep and goats. She taught us how to work with masa and make mole and salsa. The lunch we prepared under her guidance was delicious! This was such a different type of experience and I recommend it to anyone wanting a break for touristy experiences.

Mexican food and culture experience - Fernanda was a pleasure to have as our tour guide. Very knowledgeable, informative and friendly which made our group of 6 feel welcomed. Made a point of knowing our names and learning about us. The food experience was a lot of fun and we enjoyed making and eating the local dishes and experiencing Mexican culture. It would be nice if the tour company provided pick-up from hotels as planning transportation there and back was an additional expense to thier office where we departed from. I'd recommend this tour to my friends.
