Cervando was our guide for two fun and educational tours — Sayulita / San Pablo and San Sebastián del Oeste. He is a very experienced and professional guide and an excellent driver! He shared so much informationt about the areas we visited including the natural history, which was much appreciated. He was thoughtful and prompt when dropping us off and picking us up. He provided a great guide service, and he’s just an all around wonderful and kind person who has lived in Puerto Vallarta all his life — highly recommended!Our driver, Cervandro, spoke excellent English with a slight accent.

Our driver, Cervandro, spoke excellent English with a slight accent. Vehicle was a late model Chevrolet, 8 passenger van that was spotless. Drinks were provided for the 8 hour tour. Driver assisted passengers at every stop getting in and out of the van. 2 food stops were excellent and reasonable. We could stop anytime we wanted for pictures, bathroom, etc. Driver was extremely knowledgeable regarding San Sebastián, Puerto Vallarta and rural countryside enroute. Acted as an interpreter when conducting purchases or ordering from menus. Felt safe the whole time. The trip exceeded my expectations.Every aspect of the tour was excellent. From pickup in the spotless comfortable late-model van, provided cold drinks, to drop off, it was a great day. Cervando takes care at every step.

Every aspect of the tour was excellent. From pickup in the spotless comfortable late-model van, provided cold drinks, to drop off, it was a great day. Cervando takes care at every step. He is a careful driver and knows the road, so he even anticipates bumps and slows down. Ask about any tree or plant along the way and he knows what it's called and its medicinal or cooking use. Cervando knew practically every person we passed by on our tour and they all had a kind greeting for him. He knows the political and social history of the area and of the sites we visited--we were constantly amazed. He has planned stops with wonderful baking and snacks provided, a great local lunch stop, plus out-of-the way options when we chose not to visit a stop on his usual tour. Cervando has been in the tourism industry for decades, and really delivers a great day. This was our second tour with him, and on our next trip, we will book farther ahead so we can do more outings with him!We had an amazing time on this private tour of San Sebastian!
