Full-Day Puerto Vallarta City Highlights Tour

The guide was very informative , fun and outstanding . The lunch was great . Enjoyed the stops in the hills along way and way back from tequila factory . In all its a great value and fun fun day .

We booked this for our second day to get to know PV and learn the layout. It was disappointing as we did go down to the boardwalk area but they just took us in shops like jewelry and leather to buy things. 60% of the tour was in the mountains. Pretty but too much. We really wanted to learn about the city.

Freddie was a great tour guide. The tequila tasting was fabulous. Would have liked to do more local shopping, not just a jewelry store

This excursion was the most amazing day. Our guides Carlos y Carlos could not have been any more accommodating. They picked us promptly from the hotel. Gave us a quick over of the agenda and other guest. They shared the history of the city/region and what they personally loved about all of the areas we visited including the: Marina Vallarta downtown and Centro Vallarta, the Malecon, the cathedral, El, Arcos, Café Hacienda coffee in Las Juntas del Tuito, Cabo Corrientes, Rancho Verano Destilado de Agave( Ramon was the best), and much more. We started at 930 am and finished at 5 pm. Was a leisure day of luxury. Great food, awesome coffee, the best tequila, and tons of laughs and memories. Oh did I mention the tequila (learned the science of taking shots)! Grateful to have met Thomas, Angie, Jose along their way! Even during a pandemic we all felt safe. We had a small group all with face coverings and tons of sanitizer. Thank you for the experience and I’ll be back.

Carlos and Antonio did an excellent job. Informative, funny, and awesome Customer Service. Recommend ask for them. Bilingual team

I would like to have spent more time in Puerto Vallarta and less in opal/coffee/tequila shops though I understand it does support the local economy and there was little pressure to buy in them I am pleased to report. The guide was very informative and it was good to see a large portion of south Banderas Bay. The price of food/drinks at the restaurant used for lunch was excessive in my opinion. However, with those caveats I would recommend this tour.

Too much selling and not enough information. Would have liked to see more of the sights. Didn't go on a tour to shop.

Pros: Thomas was very informative. He drove well and was professional and courteous. The photographer was lovely but unfortunately didn’t get much business. We were only 8 in the group, obviously they were hoping for more. The lunch at the tequila stop was delicious! Cons: we did not receive a pick up time and I tried to call several times the previous night without success. So we followed on line instructions to be ready 30 to 60 minutes prior to the 10 am start time. We were in the lobby before 9 and waited until 9.30. Our bell man assisted us by calling the tour company who said pick up at out hotel had been at 840. We were advised to take a taxi to the next meeting point or reschedule. We opted for the meeting point only after Discovery Tours reluctantly agreed to pay for our taxi. Long long stop at a jeweller. The quality of the merchandise did not seem to agree with the price. After some bargaining, we purchased a ring for a guaranteed Canadian dollar price but it was 10% higher when it went through. Stop at the coffee shop was shorter then on to the tequila “factory”. I bought a bottle of the better tequila and noticed later that the label was askew lol. We paid for an included lunch at $22 pp. We were shown the lovely fresh fish combos and given prices. We advised we had our lunch included. We were told those lovely lunches were not included without a $20 surcharge. We would receive a smaller plate and less choice. We paid the surcharge. We spent very little time at the Malacon which was the highlight and a main reason for choosing this tour. After many very satisfactory tours with Viator, this was a disappointment for sure.

This tour was perfect, pick up was a little bit late but still tolerable. Our guide Thomas was very knowlegde and everything was on time. We went through the town, visit small coffee factory but the main attraction for us was tequilla factory. It is worth visit, the best part was tequilla tasting :-) Lunch was OK directly in factory with nice view over the mountains. We are very satisfied and highly recommend.

Jorge was very knowledgable about the city and history. He took time to answer questions and spoke English very well. The tequila factory was a great tour as well. I learned a lot about tequila. The only thing I did not love was going to the opal mining store. I would have rather gone somewhere else.
