10 City Tours in Puerto Vallarta That You Shouldn't Miss

August 21, 2021 Chanda Heide

Strolling, shopping, and sipping tequila along the Malecon boardwalk of Puerto Vallarta is the best way to kick off your vacation. Then hit the cobblestone streets of Old Vallarta to browse the flea market for handmade crafts. The calm, warm waters of the Bay of Banderas make for excellent diving, or you can just watch artists sculpt spectacular creations in the sand. The cluster of fine art galleries in El Centro are perfect spots to hit on a self-guided art tour.

We visited Puerto Vallarta in February and booked a private tour of Sayulito and San Pancho and another for a modified city tour that included the Botannical Gardens. Both fantastic! This is the second time we've visited the city and booked Bernardo, and once again we weren't disappointed. If you want a personalized tour of any kind and a knowledgeable, friendly tour guide with a great sense of humor and gift of communication, book with Bernardo. He is the best! No negatives! Can't wait to return! Judy Sneller

Our driver, Cervandro, spoke excellent English with a slight accent. Vehicle was a late model Chevrolet, 8 passenger van that was spotless. Drinks were provided for the 8 hour tour. Driver assisted passengers at every stop getting in and out of the van. 2 food stops were excellent and reasonable. We could stop anytime we wanted for pictures, bathroom, etc. Driver was extremely knowledgeable regarding San Sebastián, Puerto Vallarta and rural countryside enroute. Acted as an interpreter when conducting purchases or ordering from menus. Felt safe the whole time. The trip exceeded my expectations.

We just returned from one of the most enjoyable days. We have been coming to PV for many years - 3-4 times a year for 4-6 weeks. Consequently, we have gone on several outings, but this was by far the best. Miguel obviously loves this city. We started by learning the basic history of PV followed by a tour of the marina area. The shops that he took us to in the downtown area were high quality, local shops run by generations of the same family. Nothing like watching a craftsman make sandals like they made for years. The blown glass artist was fascinating. The candy store of course was wonderful. The fire opal jewelry store was not just a jewelry store, but again, we got to talk to the craftsmen. The tequila factory was very good. Lunch was delicious - nothing fancy, but a true traditional meal made and served by the heart. Everything on the plate was fresh, fresh, fresh. I will recommend this tour to everyone I meet. David was our wonderful driver.

This is my second time taking this tour. It is a don't miss if you want to get a much better taste of real Mexican food. Our guide Roman who I had on my first tour is very knowledgable, personable and really makes your day. Would not hesitate to do this yet again when we come back, as well as catch some of the other tours from this company we didn't have time for.
