This was almost like a nature walk because Omar knows so much about the trees and flowers and fruits and birds that you see along the way. After strolling a small town, we went to a beautiful beach, had great seafood tostadas and took a swim. At a very calm beach. Omar has lived in the US, but grew up in Mexico, so his English is expert and his knowledge of this area, and others is also excellent. Very friendly and personable, I recommend any of his tours.

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Omar was an amazing tour guide! His knowledge and passion for the city made the walk tour truly unforgettable. Highly recommend!" 😊

Good overview of Centro PV. Guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

Omar was very knowledgeable and helpful! He told us about the history and lots of cultural aspects of Puerto Vallarta. Gave us good food and restaurant suggestions.

Omar is delightful!! He’s very well prepared and has a lot of emotional attachment and interest to the tour and Puerto Vallarta. If asked a question of which he may not know the answer, his response is , “I’ll have to research that!!” He brings a wealth of knowledge to his role as guide. And he also makes sure there is no concern for dehydration!! Thank you, Omar. 😊😊

Make it easy to find the tour guide. We ended up with a different guide. Have an indicator like in Europe ie: blue flag

Omar was a phenomenal tour guide, he made our stay in PV so much better. He was very knowledgeable and shared backstories about the places we visited and the food we ate. Would 100% recommend this tour on the first few days of the visit so you can try all his suggestions again.

Omar was great. He knew a ton about the flora and fauna of puerto vallarta. The tour was interesting and off the beaten track and not near the touristy areas.

Amazing tour plus he did extra because he wasn't booked for second tour

Omar is awesome.Just don't come tired and exhausted like I did.lol

Thank you so much Memo for this tour. You were full of heart, passion and with sincerity. Happy to have met you!

This was an amazing tour! If you are looking for local food recommendations and want to immerse yourself in the culture of Puerto Vallarta, this tour is for you. Our Guru Memo has been a long time resident and is very passionate about his city and it's culture. We started the 3 hour long tour at a local breakfast joint where the food was simple and flavorful. Post breakfast we spent some time at the lady of Guadalupe church and then we walked through some really beautiful hidden neighborhoods. Though the tour, Memo presented us valuable information that would help us through the rest of the trip and also any future trips. I would totally recommend this tour and as mentioned, try to do this on your first day of visit.

Our guide, Omar, was awesome-super knowledgable and very attentive. He provided great info about the forest and history along the hike. The hike itself is moderate and no joke, so come prepared, wear runners! Definitely bring water a towel and snacks since you don’t eat lunch until the very end, Omar pointed out all possible hazards along the way(beach is very rocky!). He knew the locals which made us feel very comfortable. He was very interactive throughout the day. We skipped the tequila tasting and swimming, our choice but it was offered. Part of the tour had zip line, which was not offered to us during the hike however, hindsight, we probably wouldn’t have done it as it was a long hot day! But we would highly recommend this walking tour with Omar!

Memo was very nice and friendly. The tour does have a personal perspective since you are guided by a local resident. Not so much historical information. Nice breakfast place.

Omar was very thoughtful and geared the hike to our needs

Omar is very professional and funny. He can give a lot of information about plants and trees. We were impressed by how knowledgeable he is. He brought us to places that we could never have found by ourselves. He provided walking sticks and a snorkelling gear. We had a great time!

We had such an enjoyable morning with Memo, starting with a reasonably priced and delicious breakfast! Our tour and exploration took us off the Malecón and into the neighborhood to experience some history, culture, and great recommendations. We would not have found up these things on our own and really appreciated the grounding in Puerto Vallarta!

One of the best walking tours I have been on! Memo was excellent..took great care of us and was so knowledgeable. Was great to see the more traditional side of PV and learn lots about it. Adding the breakfast to it was perfect. Didn’t want it to end..highly recommend!

Thank you Memo for the amazing tour. What was special about the tour is that we were only 5 people on the tour which made it easier and intimate. Memo did a great job introducing us to the culture without an overwhelming amount of information. Thanks a lot Memo!

Memo was AMAZING!!!! We only wish we booked him earlier in our trip to Puerto Vallarta but he was booked solid for a week of our 2 weeks! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, funny, personable, and provided a proper authentic guided tour of the romantica and centro zones of Puerto Vallarta. I cannot recommend him enough. Translated by the Google Box as my Spanish is Poopy. ¡Memo fue INCREÍBLE! Solo desearíamos haberlo reservado antes en nuestro viaje a Puerto Vallarta, pero estuvo completamente ocupado durante una de nuestras dos semanas. Fue muy conocedor, amable, divertido, cercano y nos brindó un auténtico recorrido guiado por las zonas Romántica y Centro de Puerto Vallarta. No puedo recomendarlo lo suficiente.

We really enjoyed the tour with Memo. The breakfast was excellent. After breakfast there was a lot of walking involving hills and stairs as we ventured into the neighborhood away from the Malecón behind the Church of Guadalupe. We also visited the Isla Cuale. There was plenty of time and we didn’t ever feel rushed. I highly recommend this tour, but if you have young children I recommend leaving the stroller behind:)

Memo was a great guide, really informative and friendly. A really interesting tour with a great local breakfast! A must do activity when in Puerto Vallarta.

This was a fantastic tour with Menu, our guide. We enjoyed the breakfast place, Menu’s attentiveness, the interesting and abundant information, and the sights we saw. Menu was a great source and answered all our questions! Highly recommend this tour!

Memo was absolutely amazing! Though we climbed many stairs, it was worth every step. The views were spectacular. I have already recommended him to others at my resort and we are starting the seafood tour soon. Very excited!
