What our guests say about Colonial Treasures...
We went on your San Sebastian tour. Our tour guide, Angelique was one of the best tour guides we've ever had the pleasure to meet. She was very informative and she went above and beyond what she needed to explain about the tour. Thank you for the memories!
- Steven & Michelle
I would give this tour an A+! It was by far the highlight of our whole vacation! Martin, our guide was superb! He was upbeat, very knowledgeable and a joy to spend the day with. I would recommend this tour to everyone who could possibly go. We will DEFINITELY look this one up again! What a wonderful, amazing tour. Thank you!
- Jon & Sarah
Myself and my boyfriend went on the San Sebastian tour and we had the most amazing time. Our guide was Martin and he was fabulous! He made us feel very comfortable and was extremely knowledgeable about the area. I have not laughed as hard as I did on the tour in a long time. He truly topped off our vacation and I would recommend him and this tour to anyone. I look forward to coming back down to Puerto Vallarta to take another tour with Martin and your company. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience.
- Terry & Chris
They went out of their way to insure everyone had a great experience and provided an enormous amount of history and information about the areas we visited. Probably the most interesting part of the trip was to see the "grandmother and her museum" and have Gustavo translate her stories of the past. Visiting the raicilla operation in the hills above San Sebastian was also very interesting.
- Frank
We took your flight to San Sebastian recently. It was very enjoyable, your pilot and guide were excellent, informative and professional. The trip was one of the highlights of our trip to your country.
- Linda
We took a mountain tour to San Sebastian with Hugo as our guide. I CANNOT EXPRESS how much we enjoyed this tour because of Hugo. He was very knowledgeable in Mexican history, politics and flora and fauna. He also had a great sense of humor.
- Ken & Pat
I recently visited Mexico on holiday and I had all the trips booked with Vallarta Adventures. I had a fabulous time with the dolphins and at San Sebastian and at Las Caletas. You have great staff, especially Martin on the San Sebastian tour. My whole party had an amazing time.
- Brooke
The San Sebastian air tour was incredible!! Our guide, Martin, was amazing! It is obvious he loves his job and the people. The day we spent in San Sebastian was definitely the highlight of our 10 days in Puerto Vallarta! We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of Mexico and San Sebastian. We ate the most delicious meal of our entire trip while at San Sebastian. Thank you for offering such a wonderful experience!
- Stuart, Angie, Zack, Mary & Dennis
Every aspect of this tour was wonderful, but Martin was incredible. He made this very special trip to celebrate my husband's birthday even more special. He had so much information and insight into the history and was delightful. Thank you for taking care of us!
- Kathleen
Just returned from Puerto Vallarta and wanted you to know that my trip up to San Sebastain was the best, and most memorable experience of my trip. I enjoyed it so much. The trip leader, Ruldolph was excellent as well as the places along the way we stopped. I am having a cup of coffee from the coffee plantation now. Thanks for a great memory! Warm Wishes & Thanks,
-Ella Johnson - Cosmos Tour Director
San Sebastian is a must for all travelers going or in Puerto Vallarta. Our tour guide, Eddy....simply great! The pilot was superb and I love the airstrip in San Sebastian. You land uphill and take off downhill on a strip that is probably 2 blocks in length! Eddy was knowledgeable and had an excellent disposition. History is so captivating! Rhythms of the Night was very entertaining from the word 'GO'...literally! The crew goes all out to entertain the guests before and after Las Caletas. A very highly recommended tour. We'll be back! Keep up the good work guys & gals!
Li & Richard Edmonton - Canada
You cannot improve on perfection. A perfect day. Best excursion I have been on - going abroad for 30 years.
Matthews - U.K.
The trip to San Sebastian was as close to perfect as an excursion could be. I enjoyed the flight, the hospitality, the guides' energy and professionalism, and the beauty. Vallarta Adventure is the most efficient professional tour operator I have come across. You are organised, smart, and the guides are friendly fun and informative. You should know I am a manager for a tour operator in India and I have worked with over 60 similar operators in 10 years. Well done!
Stone - India
A very historic trip. Most interesting and enjoyable! The tour was over too quickly. I enjoyed every minute!
Kane - England
It was so good I wouldn't want to do anything else!
Henshall - England
I am overwhelmed by everyone's hospitality! It has left a lasting impression – an excellent one!
Shannon - U.S.A.
It was so far beyond anything we expected – no need to improve it! The guide could not have been more wonderful, he really made the trip great! Thanks for a fabulous day!
Finn
A thoroughly good day out – to be recommended!
James Haden - England
Excellent excursion and well organized! Leaving great memories of an excellent holiday!
Shannon, England
A trip of a lifetime, and then champagne! Our guide was brilliant. He really knows the people and the village.
Howells, England
Our guide was among the best I have encountered in many years traveling and touring!
Bill Freeland, England
This was the best tour we have taken here in Mexico. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and genuinely enjoyed his work!
McClure, U.S.A.
Really excellent! This was my second trip, and it was even better than I remembered!

Loved it! It was the best part of my vacation!

The finest tour we had! Our guide was perfect!

What our guests say about Journey Through Mexico...
I just wanted to comment about the air tour from PVR to Mascota and Talpa that my party of 3 took on Tuesday, Dec 2. It was just fantastic. Vallarta Adventures should be proud of its great staff - Nancy the guide was excellent and the pilot was superb, too! We enjoyed everything about the air tour - the townspeople, the food, the shrines, the monastery, the small airstrips, the Raicilla... Our "Journey Through Mexico" air adventure was truly memorable!
- Ernie Mulholland, Phoenix, AZ
The highlight of the day was standing in the long line of devotees waiting to catch a glimpse of the Virgin "Rosario of Talpa", who had been placed with reverence in a sanctuary off the main church. If ever you have an opportunity to go to an event such as this, or any other Mexican traditional happening, don't miss it - you will be richer for the experience, I promise.
- Helyn Bercovitch, Ajijic, Mexico
We enjoyed our foray into the mountains around Puerto Vallarta. We felt that it was one of the highlights of our trip. It has inspired us to visit Mexico again seeking out the small towns and lesser known sites.
- Stephanie Delong, St. Louis, MO
I loved exploring the smaller, but fascinating mountain villages in the state of Jalisco. In every village, the plaza is the center of town life. Mascota's plaza is magical. It is life in a time warp, a throwback to a simpler, gentler, more innocent age...
- David Birkner, Seattle, WA
Talpa has got to be one of the most photogenic places I've ever been. The view across the valley, with the Sierras behind, is absolutely captivating.
- John Russell, USA
What people have to say about Visiting the Huichol Indians...
I wanted to write to let you know that I took the air charter to visit with the Huichol tribe on Fri, Jan 12, 2007. My guides were Carlos and Martin and they were amazing and passionate. The trip is one that I will keep in my memories my whole life! Thank you. Love and Light,
- Marianne
I am just home from a vacation in Puerto Vallarta, and we were able to participate in one of the finest tours I have ever been on. We went on the tour to see the Huichol Indians, and our guide Martin was absolutely the best advertisement for your company. I would like to thank him personally for his part in making our vacation extremely memorable.
- Allan Molho
We recently went on the Huichol Indian trip. We were touched how caring our guides were regarding this culture. (Carlos and Martin) We didn't realize what need there was there, and would like to send them clothing, supplies, etc. through you. How best could we do this?
- Carla and Al Eisley
Absolutely outstanding! The best trip I´ve ever been on in 2 years of coming to Mexico. The Huichols are very friendly and interesting. I thought that they very much wanted to educate us about their way of life and their gods.
- Richard Sklader
It was one week ago today that we had the great tour into the life and time of the Huichol Indians. I was the very tall man that had to sit with the pilot and took two trips in a row. The second trip was with Greta to San Sebastian. I thoroughly enjoyed both trips and found the two plane rides very exciting. I laugh every time I think that the children in the Indian tribe thought I was Michael Jordan. The fact that I am a grey-haired white man made no difference. A six foot ten inch man must be Michael Jordan. They have no TV and have never seen him, I know. We have the pictures back and will have some fond memories for many years of the trip, though great difference between the Four Seasons Resort and the life of the Huichol Indians made my wife and me feel very fortunate indeed. We are having the purchases framed to place in our hall entranceway to enjoy for many years.
- Dr. Jerry and Mrs. Glenora Hilton - Chesterfield Township, Michigan
It has been was one of the best outings I have been on. Thank you so much for providing it.
- Van der Sloot - Amsterdam, Holland
I feel privileged to be able to visit the Huichols before any more changes can happen.
- Elizabeth Wina - USA
Excellent pilot, great guide, the best tour in PV!
- Snyder - Ontario, Canada
What people have to say about touring Copper Canyon...
This is not just an incredible vacation trip, it's more of an intercultural experience for people who are interested in other cultures and who are looking for fantastic photographic opportunities.
- Nancy Landau - Albuquerque, NM
I had a wonderful time and I appreciated the thoughtfulness that obviously went into structuring the trip. I have recommended your company to many people and will continue to do so. It was a very good experience; thanks for making my vacation so enjoyable!
- Alison Miner - Arlington, VA
One cannot imagine how beautiful and impressive the Copper Canyon is until you see it from the top and from below and meet some of the Indian people.
John and Jane Rolfes - La Mirada, CA
The more we think back the more we feel the trip could not be improved upon in its unrushed format with unbeatable variety. There was the transport: air, rail, road, walking — the hotels: from colonial villa to luxury — the countryside: from remote Indian settlement to prosperous state capital. We could go on about the people we saw, the food we ate, etc. in the same vein. Altogether a great experience.
Ken and Audrey Chandler - Bristol, England
Thanks so much for setting up our Copper Canyon trip. It was a great experience! We met new friends that I’m quite sure we’ll see again. The accommodations were "just right," and the guides were very gracious. The most enjoyable part of the trip for me were the trips through the countryside, seeing the people in the fields, passing through the small villages with the small kiosks selling delicious smelling foods cooked on grills outdoors. I also learned a little more not to be afraid of new things and new people. Thanks again for your service, and please keep me on your mailing list.
Diane Kelly - Eagle River, AK
What our guests say about our Guadalajara Shopping Tour...
Just a quick note to say thanks to you and your staff at Vallarta Adventure. Our trip to Guadalajara was excellent! Jose and Eduardo were excellent guides as well as our driver in Guadalajara. We had a great time, and it brought back many memories for my mom. She was able to point a few things out for me where she had been 30 years prior! That was so exciting for me. She never thought that she would ever get back to Guadalajara! Our trip to Caletas the next day was just as exciting! Being able to see the dolphins were an added bonus. I can't wait for my pictures. Hopefully they are as good as the sites in person! Thanks again for a great time!!
- Noel Olafson
This was amazing - the best tour I have ever taken. I recommend this to everybody and it was so much fun with Jose (our guide) that I would do it again. Thanks!
- Tod Clark
The most impressive place - I couldn't even have imagined it.
- Sharon Bass - Los Angeles, CA
A great day, all round!
