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…”
