Excellent Estigio PV 2025 ATV Tour - It was a lot of fun but you will be riding through the city to get up into the mountains. City traffic can be daunting but the guides keep you safe. The food along the way was delicious and though I do not drink, the Tequila tasting was fun.

Fun in Puerto Vallarta - The guides were great. A little dusty but the team provides all that you need. The stops a long the way give you a glimpse of life in Mexico.

Muy Bien Experience - My husband and I did this ATV tour of the Sierra Madre mountains and had an excellent experience. Our guide Charlie and his team were amazing. They thoroughly explained everything, ensured our safety, and made sure we all had a great time. I’ll say as tourists, we really hate doing excursions where you feel… like a tourist - if you know, you know. You get to experience all kinds of terrain from driving through the city along the narrow streets, to the outskirts of town where the roads are still being developed, to completely dirt roads where your just a few feet from the edge of a cliff - sounds crazy but remember that cars drive on those paths and they’re fine. After we made it to about 3/4 of the way to the top of the mountain we headed back and stopped at a bar for some drinks and tequila tasting - felt touristy for a minute because tastings always try to get you to buy but the guy doing the tasting was humorous and gracious despite no one buying anything. Afterward, we went to this small restaurant along the river where I had the best (and spiciest) Aguachile of my life. My husband got fajitas which were also equally delicioso.
All in all, was a fantastic, memorable experience.
One warning for those considering this, you will get dusty - like covered in dust so dress accordingly. They provide goggles and a bandana to cover your face which masks the dust so you’ll be good there but your clothes will get dusty.
Also, if you’re riding tandem, as passenger the ride is bumpy. You’ll get jostled around pretty good - though rough at times, it’s not unbearable. I don’t mind a Mexican massage but others might find it uncomfortable.
Anyway, highly recommend this. I wish I would’ve known they offer other excursions because I would’ve booked more through them. Muchos gracias Charlie!!

Great experience you shouldn't miss! - We went on The Estigo ATV Tour on January 30, 2025. It was amazing! Angel was one of our guides. I can't remember the other gentleman that led us, but they both made it so fun!! We are 65+ years old but it wasn't too much for us to handle. The others in our group were younger and seemed to really like it as well. The guides were great at explaining all of their expectations so we felt safe but yet it was adventurous enough to have fun! We went through cobble stone roads of the city until we were up in the mountains where we saw beautiful topography and animals. We made two stops-one to eat lunch if desired and another to have a tequila tasting. The infused tequila was fabulous! The people at both of the stops were warm and friendly. We loved how our guides took photos and videos (free of charge) of us so we didn't have to think about doing that and could just enjoy the moment. We would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing advenyure - This is a don’t miss tour. We have a few family members visiting us this year and I’ve taken two groups out so far.
The staff and guides are extremely friendly and professional.
The tour starts near the bay and winds up the beautiful Sierra mountains. There is one guide that goes ahead to ensure traffic is stopped as you go through the city and also to capture the first of the great pictures and videos they included in the tour package.
All of us who went on this tour anonymously, agree, it is the best of all of the excursions we have experienced thus far.
It is extremely fun and exhilarating and we highly recommend it to anybody interested in adventure and beautiful scenery

SO MUCH FUN! - We had a blast!! ATVS off road and threw the streets of PV. With tequila tasting to boot! Wild macaws up in the jungle and amazing sights from up in the mountains. A must do if you don't mind getting a little dirty 😉. I definitely recommend this for an exciting experience!

Great fun! - We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Charlie as our guide! The entire process was smooth and easy. Being a couple of retirees we weren’t sure if it was suitable adventure for us, but it was very safe and doable. Recommend Estigo highly.
