Amazing
Our tour guide Axle did a superb job. He stopped at view points for us to take pictures and a great little place for lunch that we would have never found on our own. The food was so flavorful! He kept us safe and we saw so much more of PV than we see down near the beach. Just beautiful and I highly recommend this tour! Thank you.
Operator response
Thank you for the love! It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the tour, the service, and the energy of Axel. We can’t wait to share another adventure with you! 💯

Definitely recommend!
Sergio was our tour guide and he was EPIC! He was so good "I'd follow him to the ends of the earth." 😂
Eddy was our photographer and he took really great photos that it would have been a bummer to not purchase them. I'd definitely recommend this company for a tour. We did the 3 hour tour and would definitely recommend the 5 hour tour next time. So much fun and amazing views!
Operator response
Thank you for such a kind review! We’re glad you felt supported and had fun from start to finish. You’re always welcome back to explore more of PV with us! 🌿

Xiutla Riders ATV tour
My family had an amazing experience with Xiutla Riders PV! Our tour was well organized, safe and incredibly fun. Rafael our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and made sure our family was having a good experience. The scenery was breathtaking and we got to see parts of Puerto Vallarta we never would have found on our own. I highly recommend taking this tour with Rafael if you are looking for an amazing adventure.

Best tour company in Puerto Vallarta!
My friends and I rented ATVs and took them on an hour ride to Eden that has ziplines over a river and waterfalls through the jungle. It’s beautiful! Rafa was our guide and made sure we were safe and having fun. I highly recommend this company for any tours you are thinking of doing in Puerto Vallarta. This was my second tour with this company. I trust them. They have great prices and Fernando, the owner, makes sure you are happy with your tour and he takes care of everything!
Operator response
Thanks a ton for your beautiful review! It means a lot that you trusted us to be part of your Puerto Vallarta experience. Hope to ride again with you soon! 🏍️🌄
