Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Our favorite part of our trip to PV was getting to know Maria. She went out of her way to personalize our experience. Because I am vegan she researched cool vegan spots, and introduced us to local tacos, tequila tastings and homemade authentic treats. She made our anniversary trip very special. I am so glad we found her- thank you!!!"
"The 3 of totally enjoyed our time with Maria. What a charming young lady. Next week my wife and I are doing the food tour with her. Can hardly wait to see her again!"
"Hesli did a great job showing us all over town, sharing history and culture. We enjoyed seeing the authentic spots and learning new things!"
"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!!"
"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 ⭐️ !!"
"María organized a Trip to San Sebastian in the hills above Puerto Vallarta. We enjoyed an amazing restaurant where the Mole was the best I've ever had. Her English and local knowledge was perfect. "
"We had a great tour with Maria who showed us all the sights and some hidden gems…that we won’t share here. She told us some of her fave restaurants and helped us book a boat tour. She’s an absolute delight. "
"Maria was very knowledgeable about Puerto Vallarta! She walked us around to some interesting sights, and shared some historical stories about the area. Very fun! Highly recommend😀"
"Maria was an excellent communicator with us prior to our arrival in Puerto Vallarta...We agreed upon a different meeting point since our timing was a little tighter than originally planned. She understood and figured it all out for us. She was very knowledgeable, gave us the main highlights, but took us off the main streets to some more local, hidden gem areas and we really enjoyed her personality. This tour was like spending a morning with a local friend who had all the inside info on restaurants, sights, etc. Highly recommend Maria in Puerto Vallarta and this company!"
"Maria is amazing…so many ideas and proposals, everything with a positive spirit…next time in Puerto Vallarta for sure I will arrange another tour with her"
