Experience the best of
Puerto Vallarta with Withlocals

"Maria is simply the best! As a group weve been coming to PVR for 20+ years and thought we had explored most everything but she shared amazing places with us that we had never seen! She was charming, knowledgeable, and we feel like we now have a life long friend here in PVR! "

"My Puerto Vallarta food tour was absolutely amazing! Our guide, Maria, was fantastic – so friendly, easy-going, and knowledgeable. She took us to hidden gems, where we tasted incredible, authentic local food. Every bite was delicious! Maria also shared fascinating insights about the city and its food culture. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Maria as your guide. It was a highlight of my trip!"

"We had an amazing tour with Francisco Javier. Francisco grew up in the area and had so much knowledge that he shared with us. He was so genuine and personal it was easy to connect to him immediately. We saw some amazing sites and felt at ease. He brought us to several lookouts along our tour Overlooking Puerto Vallarta. He customize the tour for us based on our interest we ended at a market where we bought some original art from a local artist. I highly recommend if you’re thinking of booking a tour do yourself a favor and book with Francisco Javier.!"

"Jessica was great from the start to the end. She looked after any dietary issues that might occur, gave great tastings of the Mexico cruising, and added in her personal knowledge of the area."

"Francisco was an amazing guide from start to end. He was very personable and took me around many places I would not have thought to see. Expect to walk to great heights!"

"My wife and I had the most amazing time on a walking tour with Maria. It did not feel like one of those tours where you are constantly being talked at but more like a stroll around PV with an old friend. Maria just made it so easy!! Maria knows the area so well and also took us for the best fish and shrimps tacos we have ever come across. Maria even came with me to the pharmacy to help translate and was more than happy to continue the tour in pouring rain. We loved this experience and highly recommend Maria!!"

"Maria was an excellent tour guide, and a great conversationalist. We learned a lot about local culture and cuisine. She specifically set up a day to show us more than just tacos, but I'm sure if you asked, she can find you the most delicious tacos... as everything we had that afternoon was delicious!"

"Francisco offered an amazing walk thru Puerto Vallarta with best choosen stops to see the different sites of this wonderful and impressing city, giving sufficient data about history and presence. We only had 2hours and have seen so much. He is a great guide! Thanks to Francisco!"

"Wow! We had so much fun and learned so much about this beautiful city with Maria. She was so friendly and accommodating, answering endless questions, and showing beautiful and hidden things we would never have found ourselves. We got to try ‘tuba’, a local drink made using palm trees, and enjoys wonderful lunch nestled amongst trees along the river. Lots of knowledge of art and local culture, a foodie, and so evidently passionate about Puerto Vallarta, Maria was *exactly* what you hope to find in the ideal local tour guide. We hated to part ways but will be excited to let her show us other new things in the future! 11 stars ⭐️ !!"

"My two girlfriends and I were lucky enough to book Maria for our first day in Puerto Vallarta. She took us to wonderful spots we would have never found had we been on our own. She was happy to adjust our tour based on our preferences, and added some wonderful site seeing in-between our restaurant stops. As promised, after our tour, she sent us all her recommendations so we could find even more amazing places on our own. Maria was a delight and we highly recommend her!"
