City Tour Puerto Vallarta - Churches, Tequila Test and more

This is an eight-hour guided city tour of Puerto Vallarta that goes beyond the seafront to include a church, the municipal building, a tequila distillery and the village of Mismaloya. A guide leads the day and travel is by air-conditioned vehicle, with stops of roughly 30 to 60 minutes each.

The tour starts in the historic center on the Malecón, the seaside promenade lined with bars, restaurants and craft stalls, with a view of the sea and the sunset. The first stop is about 30 minutes. From there you visit the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, presented as the most beautiful church in the city for its history and Spanish colonial features, and then the Municipal Palace and the historic cathedral, again for about 30 minutes each.

Next comes Amecatl, a tequila distillery where you learn how tequila is made and distilled, what kinds of barrels it is stored in and how the different types taste. This stop lasts about an hour. The itinerary also lists the Municipal Handicraft and Jewelry Market, so you can browse local crafts.

The final stop is Mismaloya, an old fishing village in a creek surrounded by jungle, known for its beach and its outdoor restaurants. The itinerary mentions the restaurant El Patio, a typical Mexican place, for about an hour, though meals are not included. There is also a viewpoint by the Arches of Mismaloya for photos.

The tour is wheelchair accessible, and the transportation is too. Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, or sit on an adult's lap if they are infants. It is suitable for all fitness levels, and public transportation options are available nearby. Meals, drinks and tips are not included. The listing does not give a meeting point, so confirm the pickup details when you book.
