Great overview of PVR and outskirts - Great experience. Provided a whole spectrum tour. Got picked up at the hotel. First stop was the chocolate factory downtown and the visit to the church was quite moving. Experienced both the upscale route and also the local traditional and lower income areas. Great caring tour guide. Nice stop on top of the mountain at a restaurant in the mountain.

Great Trip - Great trip a full day. Omar, our guide was terrific very informative and funny. All the locations we visited were nice and very accommodating.

Fun tour - Fun tour. You get to see the cathedral, the promenade along the sea with interesting artwork. I would recommend.

Bring money and pace yourselves on the tequila tastings! - It was more bus time and shuttled through gift shops than I would have liked. I would've liked to learn more about PV and tge culture. The church was nice, I actually thought we would have walked around downtown a bit. We just went to a jewelry store and leather shop. The coffee place was nice but far out. The tequila tasting was way too much, my bus mates were drunk! I was a little worried for their safety on the cobble stone roads.. Overall nit what I expected.

Disappointing Experience - Saw some cool sites, but got long and was just taken to a lot of shops to buy things. Lunch at the end was overpriced. Was the only day tour we could find.

Drunk Tour Guide Hurts Rating - This is a great way to see a lot of Puerto Vallarta in a day. I loved walking along the Malacon Beach Boardwalk and seeing the Cathedral. The tour took us up into the mountains for a coffee tasting at a local coffee roaster, as well as a great tequila tasting at a local distillery. Great tequila by the way, and lots of shots!! This was followed by a great lunch. I would have given this tour 5 stars if it were not for the fact that our tour guide got so drunk on the tour that he couldn't perform his duties. He had to have one of the photographers take down everyone's hotel for drop off. Something was lost in translation and they drove right by our hotel. Pretty soon, everyone but us had been dropped off. When the tour guide stumbled back to where we are sitting, we told him where we were staying. He slapped his head and said, "S@#t!" To their credit, another van soon showed up and we were transferred into that. They then dropped us off at our hotel. A five hour tour turned into a 7 and a half hour tour because the tour guide drank too much tequila.

Don't do this!!! - We were told this was 5-6 hours long, and it was a tour of the city. It was 9 hours long, 3-4 hours longer than scheduled! We quickly realized this wasn't a city tour. We were taken to specific places to purchase leather, candy, tequila, and jewelry, and to eat at a restaurant. We were given one 30-minute "walk around" time and one "you have 15 minutes to walk the boardwalk to get on the bus." Other than that our time was controlled by the above shopping/restaurant. The restaurant we were taken to had a very narrow selection of 5-6 items and I don't see BBQ chicken, baked potato, and steamed cauliflower/broccoli as "authentic." We should have had a choice of restaurants or the meal should have been included in the price of the tour. When visitors to your city leave and this is the impression that you give, that your commission from these specific places is more important than showing off your city, your visitors feel scammed out of their vacation day, and thats the story they go home and tell others about.

Better ways to spend vacation - Our tour guide Juan had big opinions on capitalism and city developments that he could not let go of during the tour. We spent 9 hours (was supposed to be 6) "seeing the city" from our bus seat. We got a total of 35 minutes to walk around freely between 2 locations; the rest was time spent at shops where I am sure they earn a commission. What was supposed to be a downtown tour, ended about an hour and thirty minutes away on the side of a mountain with no service and crappy food that we felt we had to eat because we were starved for 7.5 hours with no other options. HIGHLY DON'T RECOMMEND, COMPLETE WASTE OF A DAY OF VACATION!!!! If you want to see downtown Puerto Vallarta, grab a taxi, go to the boardwalk, and walk around yourself.

Waste of a day - This felt like a hostage situation. We were captive for 8 of the nine hours in the bus and had a total of 45 minutes to choose what we would like to do in town. To cap it off at the 6 hour mark it’s time for lunch where we had one place to choose from with a limited menu the for our group consisted mostly of Costco chicken. I would not recommend this to anyone. We toured a leather shop, silver store a candy store and a tequila distillery that the tour company made arrangements with and they very likely get kickbacks from.

Total waste - This ended up being a 9 hour tour! It wasted an entire day! We were a captive audience for the stores they took us to. We only got a total of 45 minutes of the 9 hours to explore on our own. The icing on the cake was not getting lunch until 3pm and being forced to eat at the only restaurant in the mountain town. And after that having to drive an hour and a half to get back to our hotel. We wished we had taken a taxi back from the boardwalk, because there was no escape once we headed up into the hills. It was another 4 hours. The tequila tasting I did on the boardwalk was better than the one in the mountain village. Don’t waste your time or money!
