Full-Day Puerto Vallarta City Highlights Tour - Meeting Up, Pickup Times, and Why the Day Can Feel Longer

1.Full-Day Puerto Vallarta City Highlights Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 413 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $29Our pick

Walk Puerto Vallarta with a local guide, then tour coffee and tequila stops with hotel pickup. Expect real timing and possible extra costs.

“We booked this tour as we wanted to get out of the Hotel Resort and learn more about the culture and history of Puerto Vallarta. In the description of the highlights of the tour, it states “a full day tour that explores downtown, Los Arcos and Mismaloya Beach”. We found most of the exploration was done through the windows of the bus. With regards to the 50 minutes allotted time for the Malecon Boardwalk as stated in the “What to expect” when we got off the bus, it was more like 10-15 minutes which was basically the walk from the bus to the jewelry store. It felt like every stop…”

3.1 to 6 Passengers Vallarta Private City Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 171 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $350Top rated

A 5-hour private Puerto Vallarta city tour with hotel pickup, photo stops, local neighborhoods, and market time, priced per vehicle.

“Highly recommend! What a treat to have our own private tour customized for our interests. We were taken all over Puerto Vallarta, from the beaches to the mountains, old town, malecon, and the cobblestone streets and neighborhoods where, as tourists, we would never have been able to go. Bernardo and his daughter, Martha, completely went over and above our expectations. Bernardo is very knowledgeable and gave us so much great background information about each place we stopped. He was careful to provide special assistance to our 87 year old mom/grandma making sure she was comfortable and got to see as much as possible.”

4.Puerto Vallarta City Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 107 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $20

A value-priced Puerto Vallarta highlights day tour with hotel pickup, a guided stroll, photo stops, tequila tasting, and a cultural overview.

“We booked an English tour but at least 10 people did not speak English so guide had to do commentary in 2 languages. Therefore we feel we missed out on information due to time constraints. Shopping was not as expected and we were taken to pre-determined shopping without much opportunity to explore other shopping options. Enjoyed the tequila tour and the lunch was very good. Really would call this a city tour as majority of time spent outside of Puerto Vallarta.”

Puerto Vallarta half-day tour with Malecon photos, Morpho butterflies, tequila tasting, and Mismaloya beach time. Kids free.

“Sergio, Morpho Travel guide, made the difference in our experience on Dec 26, 2024. He truly immersed us into the PV culture and we get to shop for unique tequila in a homestyle setting, jewelry shopping and trying different candies at Leal's. Some may say this tour is a shopping tour. As a traveler getting to taste, see and connecting with the locals in their own businesses is just as rewarding as just simply sightseeing. Sergio's knowledge of Puerto Vallarta and friendliness is awesome! I would recommend this tour with Morpho Travel.”

“I have got a ticket for my friend, the ticket with the lunch included, however my friend was not given a lunch and bought a meal for herself for $27 USD (it’s México, not even a fancy place to dine in) in a typical tourist trap restaurant. So she wasted about $30 USD for just no to starve as the tour was long (She loved the tour!). Just feeling bad about this situation about the lunch”

“We highly recommend Juan (best tour guide in town, fluent in English) to anyone who wants to explore best of the best in Puerto Vallarta. First of all, he will make sure to establish great communication with you before you onboard the ship or before you leave. Juan works very hard to make sure that you are satisfied with his service and leaving the best memories in Puerto Vallarta. We asked him to take us to local market and saw many things tourists don’t usually see. He also went out of his way to buy tasty local tacos to treat our family. It was delicious. We got to see so…”
