A MUST book tour - This was truly one of the highlights from our trip! Jose was an amazing tour guide. From the fruit stand stop, to the main square at Sayulita and then to the most beautiful secluded beach area, it was all phenomenal. But the true star of it all was Jose cooking for us. All I can say is WOW!!! This is a MUST do tour!!!! The best of both worlds, some culture and then relaxation. Do not hesitate and just book this tour with Jose!

You Made My Day! - It was such a lovely day and a definite highlight of my stay in PV. Antonio was so kind and accommodating. He was a fun and delightful host. His car with AC and cold drinks may the trip super nice. We stopped a produce stand and had the opportunity to sample a variety of fruits and local foods with Antonio's explanations. Afterwards, Antonio treated us to tacos in Sayulita, gave us a preview of the town, and then we were able to explore for a couple hours on our on. Afterwards, our group met up and we were off to a beautiful secluded beach where we spent a few hours playing in the ocean and indulging in an AMAZING meal Antonio bbq'd for us. We had a fresh papaya, mango, pineapple...scrumptions bbq'd snapper, rice, beans, tortillas heated on the grill, cold soft drinks and adult beverages, and dessert. We couldn't have possibly ate it all, but it was so yummy we tried! I highly recommend this tour!

Best time in Mexico - It's hard to put into words how amazing this was. We were in Puerto Vallarta for my wife's Birthday trip and had Tony picking us up to the Sayulita day. He's an amazing person, genuinely taking care of us and telling us everything about the places we went to. Besides all of that he's also a great cook, and tasting the Mexican flavors by the sea on a beach barely touched by people was fantastic. I can't wait to have the chance to go back and of course, I highly recommend Tony.

Amazing Experience with a Top Tier Guide in a Beautiful Area of Mexico - This was an absolutely amazing experience. My wife suggested this tour based on the previous written reviews and a YouTube review and it far exceeded our expectations. Antonio is a fantastic guide that explained the history, culture, and traditions of this region. The small group setting (5 total) makes this a mostly private tour at an exceptional price. The Patzcuaritos beach was incredible and the Zarandeado meal was our favorite meal on the entire vacation. We had a great time during our entire week in Mexico but this day spent with Antonio ranks number one for most enjoyable experience.

What an amazing experience - Tony was so super knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. We did this tour with our 3.5 year old and he made sure we all felt comfortable and unrushed. The only thing better than him was him food 😉. Will recommend him to any and all!

THE BEST EXCURSION HANDS DOWN! - Truly I cannot express just how special this day trip is. Every little thing was magical! From the moment we met up with Jose Antonio & Yahir, we were made to feel special in every way. These awesome gents are so cool, engaging, knowledgeable, and just a total joy to spend the day with. We were taken to a funky, roadside farm stand for some candy tasting & little shopping, then off to the surfer town of Sayulita. After just a few hours there I can see why so many people want to permanently stay. It's so funky, hippy, old-school... We spent time at the hippy & local artisan market, had a shot (or 2) at Luna's Cafe, explored the town, and just enjoyed the good vibes of the locals. From here, we went to our very own secluded beach outside of town, and through, what felt like the jungle of coastal Mexico, we hiked a short distance to the most magical spot where we had private massages and our own, little camp spot for the day. JA & Yahir grilled us up the most incredible, traditionally prepared snapper, shrimp skewers, rice, beans, appetizers, cold drinks and so much more! I cannot brag about this trip enough! Oh, and did I mention the sweetest beach dog in the whole world? What a special little treat for a group of animal lovers! This day trip is a must-do when visiting PV and Sayulita. Thank you so much, Jose Antonio for making our day so very special.

Best Tour Ever! - I have been struggling to write this review as it is that good! I think this is the best tour in PV. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Jose Antonio Garcia Rivas and Yahir and just the best! From the beginning to the end, every detail was thoughtful and special. We were taken to a small roadside farm stand for a little shopping, then off to Sayulita for a couple of hours of exploring this awesome little community, shopping at the hippy market and artisan market. I can see why so many people come here and never return home. It's that special. We stopped off at Luna's Cafe and had a couple of tequila shots and then we headed out to Playa Patzcuarito. This was like stepping into a private paradise. There are just not enough !!! to describe how awesome this beach is. While here, JA arranged for us to have private massages on the beach while he & Yahir cooked us up the BEST traditional styled seafood, shrimp skewers, peppers, guacamole, rice & beans. Everything was prepared to perfection! We sat in cozy outdoor rockers with a nice, big sunshade to keep us cool. Oh and while we were enjoying our time at the beach we even had our very own beach dog that hung out with us. She was awesome! You can't plan this sort of special detail for a group of animal lovers. That was the cherry on top for us! Again, I cannot express enough just how special this tour is. If I should ever return to PV I will take this tour again. Thank you so much to Jose Antonio & Yahir. You both made this a truly magical experience!

Amazing Trip! - Jose was amazing from the start. Meeting at the Starbucks was easy, and Jose’s energy was so welcoming and joyful.
He was informative on the drive, and the first stop at the fruit stand was awesome. Sayulita was great to explore. Then making our way to the more secluded beach, food Jose cooked was Amazing!
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a more intimate experience in Mexico.
