Gringo Gulch Tours

We booked a private city tour during our cruise stop. Juan was already at the port waiting for us. Excellent communication before, during and after the trip. Very responsive.

Fantastic experience! Can't recommend it enough. Our family of 4 had Daniel as our guide and he was the best. He made sure we were safe, gave us what we needed at our stops, and always made sure we were having a good time. The first stop at the spings restaurant was amazing, and the second stop to the tequila tasting was such a great experience. We ended up leaving with a bottle:) The tour was such a great mix pd neighborhoods and mountain trails. My family has done multiple excursions in PVR, and we all agreed this one was the best. Thank you, Daniel and your photographer friend!

Awesome tour guide. Very informative and was willing to give advise. He was patient with the stops and did not pressure

Juan was an excellent tour guide and we loved our tour and tequila tasting! I was looking for a tour option that was a little more personal and catered to a smaller group and this tour was perfect. We spent the day learning about Puerto Vallarta - Juan gave us lots of historic details, which were fascinating - and stopping for some amazing views of the city. We enjoyed lunch by the river and really just wanted to jump in. We ended with our tequila tasting at a small distillery (not the right term but it’s escaping my brain right now), which was perfect for us. Learned how to properly drink tequila and tried 6 varieties. Highly recommend this tour and can’t say enough good things about Juan! Enjoy it!

Our guide was Franco. My sister and I went for our birthday and it was the best ATV experience I have ever been on. We took a tour through the city then traveled through the mountains. The views were BREATHTAKING and we really enjoyed the stops along the ride. They gave us a special birthday surprise which was so kind of them. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

We had a wonderful tour with Victor and Jim. They were both informative and personal, tailoring the tour to what we wanted to see and do. Because Victor grew up in Mexico, it made the commentary even more interesting.

Juan went above and beyond on our city tour! He is very personable, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about everything Puerto Vallarta ! We recommend him highly!! You won’t be sorry!

Daniel was the best guide on the waterfall hike with me and my 6 year old daughter! We had a wonderful day and he took such great care of us, even offering to shoulder ride my daughter for a lot of the tour and taking us all the way to the bus back to our hotel. He was the perfect guide for a magical swimming hole in the jungle…the highlight of our vacation. We will be back!

We took a beautiful hike through history with Arturo. Walking up the hills of Vallarta, we learned about the historic town and how it relates to what we see today. We saw important buildings and learned their stories, and even had a chance to visit a marvelous home tucked in the upper hills with an incredible view of the city and river valley. We learned about the importance of raicilla on the culture and development of the city, and had a chance to taste some artisanal, small batch raicilla from south Jalisco. The restaurant at the end, Pajaros, had some of the best food I've eaten in the city. Make sure you try the fish egg taco, and the squid taco; unbelievable. The restaurant atmosphere was the most comfortable, calm, and welcoming cantina I've ever been to. No blaring music or television, it was perfect for conversation.Be prepared for an urban hike, quite a few stairs, and lots of sun. Be amazed by incredible views, rich knowledge of the local history, and a very wonderful tour guide if you go with Arturo.Would highly recommend this tour to get away from the tourist traps.

Juan was amazing - showed us all the sights , was very knowledgeable about everything in Puerto Vallarta and took us to have the best meal we’ve had all this vacation. Would highly recommend !

A fun and exciting trip. Learned a great deal about the city and its surrounding areas. The guide was very helpful, enthusiastic and informative with all the sites he showed us.

Juan was a fantastic guide. He was on time , knowledgeable, friendly and personable! We enjoyed all our stops. He took photos of our group too. By the end of the day we felt we had experienced the many levels Puerto Vallarta has to offer !! Ask for Juan !! Julie , California

This js our second trip in PV and we havent wandered out of the Zona Romantic or the beach. I booked this ride since it said that we would have our own guide and not be in a group of 10 riders which has that one rider swears they can handle the rids but then freaks out and crashes into the guid Being just the two of us, our guide tested our skills and off we went!We moved quickly through town and onto dusty jungle roads. Was gun and we made 2 stops along the way. The final stop was their restaurant where we had a light lunch and a great tequila tasting. When we were ready we heady back to town and looked at the action photos taken by a member of the staff.This worth the trip

It was an amazing trip. Our guide was kind and made the trip one our highlights of our vacation! I would highly recommend doing this. You will see a side of Puerto Vallarta you won’t see doing the normal excursions they offer.

Excellent communication leading up to the tour, pickup point was clear. Learned alot about the town !

Daniel was an excellent guide, very passionate about the city! Catered to what we wanted to see, including taking us to a chocolate shop. Also hiked us up the hill for the best views.
