Perfect Day & Tour Guide(s) - Bernardo and trainee Martha (his daughter) were absolutely perfect tour guides with 27 years of experience and flawless English. You can tell he loves his city - learned about the history and unique parts of the area. So much good information and plans on where to stop - even drove to show us meeting spots and bathrooms. Perfect places to stop for affordable and tasty food for lunch. We even got a special tamale stop. Highlights were tequila tasting as a perfect ending to the day. And with July starting rainy season, he had everything from waters, to beer to serapes to dry off after our impromptu beach trip and the rain . And best part was we got to choose what we wanted to see so we weren’t rushed. Our trip lasted much longer than the 5 hours without any rushing. Would 100 percent recommend as the only tour you need for Puerto Vallarta. We traveled with kids and grandparents so super mobility friendly too. Perfect day!

Amazing Introduction to Puerto Vallarta! So glad We Found This! - This was an amazing way to show my grandchildren (ages 6-18) one of my favorite cities. Bernardo Peña was a knowledgeable, friendly and gracious guide and made the tour even better. Having a spacious, clean and air conditioned vehicle to ride allowed us to just have fun and soak in the beauty of PV and explore the local sites. I have been to PV over a dozen times and yet learned many things about the city and its history I did not know. I would absolutely encourage anyone who wanted to see the sights, experience the food and local culture of PV to go on one of these private tours!

A better Puerto Vallarta experience - This tour was AMAZING! Our guide, Bernardo, grew up in PV and was able to give us a great cultural experience. We got to sight see, learn about history/culture and taste some amazing food. One of the best things was that it was private, so it was focused around our interests and schedule. It felt very leisurely and we weren't rushed from place to place. I've been to PV multiple times before but never done a tour like this one. It is my favorite thing I have ever done while in PV and I highly recommend it. Group: family of 8 from 6+ years

Great excursion, Bernardo is the best - This was the first time booking an excursion outside of Carnival and decided to book via TripAdvisor. It was a very nice day spend in Puerto Vallarta. Bernardo was our guide and he was very nice and made our trip excellent. There were ten people in my party that included one person in a wheelchair for long distances and 1 stroller. He would find places to park that would be easy to board and get off the van and even assisted holding my baby at time. Highly recommend Bernardo. Already planning to book him again when I head back to Puerto Vallarta. He is very professional and knowledgeable in the tourist industry of Puerto Vallarta.

An Unforgettable Experience - Highly recommended!! Aziel (AZ) is a very personable tour guide. My husband said it's like a family member giving us a tour around the beautiful city of Puerto Vallarta. You can tell ÀZ, born and raised in PV, how much he loves the place. He is knowledgeable and ready to give thoughtful answers to our questions. What an authentic experience: had my first taste of a fermented drink called tuba, so refreshing. He also made an extra stop for fresh coconut water and coconut meat. The restaurant we stopped by for lunch, served delicious food at a reasonable price. A great time was had by all!

A fantastic day in Puerto Vallarta - Juan Bernardo Peña was a fantastic guide. He speaks perfect English and explained a lot about the history of Puerto Vallarta. We all learned so much from Bernardo. We made stops at the church, a market, the zona romantico, the lookout point of Banderas Bay, Los Arcos where many go snorkeling. He was so full of information that we all loved. And he explained it all perfectly well. Thank you Bernardo for an absolutely wonderful day.

Excellent family experience - We were a group of 10 wanting to get a more authentic experience exploring the city. We got that and more. Luis was our tour guide and we would recommend him one million times over. Luis not only had expert knowledge about each area we visited, but he really engaged with our archeological, cultural, and historical questions in a thoughtful way. He was so kind and incredibly funny. He even waited for us while we stopped to buy some souvenirs and gave us tips about which stands to visit. Our family had an amazing time. If you're in Puerto Vallarta and want to get to know the area, this is a must do! And ask for Luis, You won't regret your experience!
