El mejor tour en Puerto Vallarta Brandy HowardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Every year we go on a tour with Jeanne. She is very sweet, fun and helpful. i 100% recommend you gonon a tour with her. Unlike other tours she will take pictures and let you take your own pictures without charging you. All her tours are more personable and in small groups unlike the bigger tour companies. Definitely more athentic! Enjoy! Kelsey T.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was such a wonderful and enriching experience. Jeanne took us on a journey through Puerto Vallarta that left us feeling more admiration for the local culture and customs. From a delicious cup of café de olla to experiencing a blind tasting, to getting cooking lessons from the chef of a local restaurant, the money was well spent. Jeanne has a passion for curating experiences that uplifts, engages, and highlights local businesses while centering her tours on a sustainable mindset for Puerto Vallarta’s environment. I will definitely book with Authentik Tours again on our next trip to this city. Thank you Jeanne! Melissa HammondTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. We learned about different foods at the market, enjoyed cooking enchiladas and salsa at a delicious family restaurant (Bixabeel kitchen), and the blind taste test was fun. I couldn’t recommend an experience more! drew difonzo marksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great tour! Would do again. Lots of different options of kinds of tours too. Judith MiskulinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. While in Puerto Vallarta, my husband and I did 2 tours with Authentik tours: Local Nature Discovery in Macaws sanctuary. Both father (Francisco) and son (Jorge) have dedicated their lives in the protection the endangered macaws. And their efforts are very successful - macaws population is growing and left in the wild (not in cages). Very Impressive and very great tour. The next tour: Bird Watching & Nature Discovery - this tour was in a permaculture farm - another great contribution to locals around them. Also, the bird sightings were amazing with an excellent guide: Atturo. Highly recommend Authentik tours in Puerto Vallarta - you will not regret the experiences being offered. Thank you Jeanne.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 77 reviews
My partner and I went on this magical hike lead by Jeanne. Breathtaking views! Jeanne was fun, informative and personable. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to get outta PV and see some of Mexico’s wonders.
Amazing tour! If you are at all interested in learning more about historical and contemporary Mexican food, this tour is for you. Aldo and Jeanne are very knowledgeable and super friendly. The cooking class/tasting/lunch at a family restaurant was a perfect way to cap off the experience. I highly recommend this.
What a simply magical day. Thank you so much Jeanne for sharing your experience and depth with us!!!! We loved the private guide through the markets and the connection through food to the culture. Truly we could not have found this on our own and it was a highlight of our time in Vallarta. Thank you!!! Merci!!!!!!!!
The experience is an exciting and informative tour of a local market and cuisine culture. The personal storytelling by Jeanne was fantastic. We had a wonderful time from start to finish and learned about local history. Jeanne had a great personality and was very patient and helpful. She was entertaining and engaging.
Do yourself a favor and book this early in the trip to maximize your new-found knowledge and appreciation of Mexican culture.
I had a blast on this hike! Jeanne was my guide and she was very kind and kept checking in during the hike to ask if a break was needed or not. The scenery was beautiful and she was so knowledgeable about the areas we visited that it was freat getting to learn so much about the village and beaches. I highly recommend!
What an amazing adventure day! Aldo was a wonderful guide, it was fun and I met some new people. The hike was ust the right amount of exercise to earn a delicious ceviche that topped off the day. Learning about coconut harvest and Mayan chewing gum was fu, I loved connecting with the people that work and live there. So different from most of the tours that I have been on, highly recommend !
Ma fille et moi avons adoré l’expérience, les paysages étaient magnifiques, nous avons appris pleins de choses sur la faune et la flore locales. La randonnée est la parfaite dose d’exercice et encore une fois la touche locale a rendu l’expérience unique. Merci!!!
