Private Puerto Vallarta Local Style Tequila Walking Tour and Brunch

This private walking tour of Puerto Vallarta combines local history, a tequila tasting and a traditional Mexican meal in about 180 minutes. The operator recommends it for first-time visitors, cruise ship passengers and guests staying at all-inclusive hotels, and because it is private, the group is yours alone.

You start with the history of the city, with your guide pointing out the contemporary art sculptures along the seaside. The route then crosses one of the several swinging bridges in town, over the Cuale River, and enters the Old Town, where you come across small markets. There you visit one of the best-known tequila tasting spots, and the tasting is part of the tour.

The stops in the itinerary give a good sense of the rhythm. You visit the iconic parish church of Puerto Vallarta (15 minutes), then spend 60 minutes at a one-stop place to eat a Mexican meal and shop for souvenirs. Another 30 minutes go to one of the free museums along the Cuale River, which covers the history of the city, and the last 30 minutes are for a view of the city and the bay.

After the tequila, the guide treats you to a traditional Mexican lunch at the local market, where the smell of freshly made tortillas fills the air. The listing counts alcoholic beverages and lunch as included.

The tour is easy to fit around a family or a group with mixed needs: it is suitable for all physical fitness levels, strollers are allowed, specialized infant seats are available and service animals are welcome. Public transportation is available nearby. The listing does not list a meeting point, so confirm it when you book.
