Great value and learned a lot. - The tour was well worth the 20$/price. Our guide Miguel was very passionate and knowledgeable about the history of the city he grew up in. As a man in his 60’s he has seen the transition from a fishing town to a large city dominated by tourism. He shows you the different “faces” of the city, as well as the surrounding countryside along the coastal highway. The lunch, which we paid for separately at Gringo Jerry’s OK Corral, was delicious and enough food for two meals. Don’t be fooled by the name. Luis was a very good driver and also very friendly.

City Tour - Highly recommend this city tour. After a convenient hotel pickup, we learned about the city from a professional guide while visiting sites like the Malecón, the Municipal Palace, Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, the artisans' market, and a tasting at a tequila distillary. We saw the Vallarta letters and other sculptures on the boardwalk. We also went to a jewelry store which sold beautiful silver and opal pieces. We had lunch at a hillside restaurant away from the city, near a beautiful river. We met the chef, Doña Rosa, and had a delicious fresh fish dinner and margharita. Our driver was Omar and our tour guide was Miguel. They were great. Miguel had an extensive knowledge of the history of the area and answered all the questions we had. He was very friendly and was able to provide personal stories of growing up in the area. The van was air conditioned and very comfortable.

Should be named “Sponsored Shopping Trip” - Three families, strangers at the start of the day, bonded over our shared disappointment from Riviera TT “City Tour” (aka sponsored shopping trip with mandatory stops at a jewelry, leather, and tequila store). We only had 15 minutes in actual Puerto Vallarta Malecon and shopping area… You had to be quick with your camera if you wanted a peek of the beach on the hwy drive to the Tequila place & restaurant, no slowing down or stops along the way! Turning lemons into lemonade, we ended the day with our own adventure, sharing street tacos in an alleyway. The restaurant they chose for us was more $$ we didn’t want to spend. I felt bad for the family with 3 young kids in tow - they were told that lunch was included, which it wasn’t. We made the best out of this #TourFail #PuertoVallarta
