This tour delivers everything it promises and the tour guide Raymond was outstanding - This tour delivered everything promised. We were very happy that this was a small group tour. Our guide Raymond was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The drive to the botancial gardens was pleasant with Raymond providing great information about the towns, history, plants throughout the drive. The gardens themselves were spectacular. Raymond guided us through the beginning of the tour of the gardens, we shared a tea and then we were given time to explore. The tequila tasting did not disappoint. We sampled six tequillas and had the opportunity to go back for a few more samples before making a purchase. The meal was good. Thanks to reading other travellers' reviews we knew and prepared to eat lunch at the Tequila tasting. The cost of the lunch is not included. You should anticipate 900 peso per meal, however it is so generous that two persons can share a meal. We did not order drinks because we had already consumed quite a bit of tequila...

Excellent activity. - The site is wonderful, serene. Lots a variety of plants really well presented. Eduardo makes an excellent presentation of the Garden, very professional and knowledgeable. It’s a must.

You must go! - Our driver and guide were knowledgeable and professional. The gardens were beautiful and full of surprises around every corner. Highly recommend!

Great day! - Wonderful guide, great driver, lovely gardens, loved the area and exploring new places. Tequila was a bonus and coffee stop frappe too!

Nice Day Trip Excursion - This Botanical Garden did not disappoint. While you can take public transportation to the garden, I highly recommend this tour as it’s kept to a small group in a mini-van (with AC!). The botanical garden is beautiful to walk around, with many places to explore on your own. We enjoyed having a bite to eat at the restaurant, which was nice given all of the walking made us hungry! Just know that the tour includes a stop on both sides of the botanical garden. First you stop at a local tourist stop that includes a free coffee tasting, where you have the option to buy some food/beverages and other touristy stuff. Then on the way back from the botanical garden there’s another stop at a local Tequila shop where you get to sample around 6-8 Tequilas (you can opt out of course). We patronized both businesses but I dropped one star from the review because these were no doubt tourist traps. None of the vendors ‘pushed’ their stuff on you, so I don’t want it to sound like we had bad experiences. But our motivation for the tour was focused on the gardens. Overall, this was still a nice option for those that want to spend the day getting out of Puerto Vallarta - especially if there’s a cruise ship that’s unloaded a bunch of passengers that overload the Malecon.

Gardens were Great, the Coffee Not So Much… - Our tour good was courteous and informative and our van was comfortable. I found the botanical garden to be very interesting. I would rate this trip five stars except our guide made an appointment extra stop at a coffee shop/tourist stand in addition to the scheduled stop for a tequila tasting. I would much preferred to have more time at the gardens and not had a he extra coffee shop.

botanical garden and tequila - Our guide, Gustavo was excellent. He gave lots of history with a comical flare. he was told the tour began at 11:00 so picked us up at 10:40. the email, text and program said pick up at 9:40 and tour begins at 10:00. waiting was the only "bad" part
