EXCELLENT Based on 47 reviews Posted on Stacy MVerified Comfortable, reliable service at a reasonable price. Roots, and specifically Pepe, were referred to us by friends who use his services often. We used their service to help shuttle our family of 22 people around the PV area and he did not disappoint!!! He was VERY responsive with reasonable pricing. We also had to change plans and he was able to accommodate on very short notice. We had some time to kill before our flight and he recommended the best experience and negotiated a great tour and lunch for us. He is a native resident of PV and knows the best places for any type of group. We will use Roots for all our future trips and will recommend to friends visiting the area!!Posted on Laura HVerified Great transportation service! Pepe of Vallarta Roots offers a fantastic transportation service.He picked us up at the airport to take us to San Poncho. Pepe is fluent in English making it easy to set up our meeting place and our transportation goals. He sent us his photo so we knew who to look for. That was very reassuring! He was there to greet us. Then he took us to a grocery store and helped us shop for the staples we needed for our week long visit. Then delivered us to our condo. He was so courteous and friendly. After that he returned to the airport to-pick up our late arriving friend. At the end of our trip, he arranged for his associate to pick us up at our condo and return us to the airport. At all times he Stayed in communication with us to reassure us that our travel plans were taken care of. He and his associates were always on time, helpful, courteous, and enjoyable to travel with I can highly recommend Vallarta Roots.Posted on Robert196253Verified HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Pepe proactivly contacted us and ensured a smooth start to our tour. We were in great hands with Juan, our knowledgeable guide. Juan was friendly and engaging as he pointed out local history and customs. We couldn't have had a better experience. Our day wrapped up at a restaurant recommened by Juan...and it was terrific. Highly recommend Vallarta Roots!Posted on Leah MVerified This is the tour company you need! We did a city tour with Pepe and turned around and booked a couple more tours because it was such a great experience. So knowledgeable, easy going, and accommodating! Highly recommend!!!Posted on Liz BVerified The Art of Mexican Home Cooking My husband and I had an amazing authentic cooking experience at La casa de Abuela with Pepe and Rosa! They’re both so friendly and easy to be around. We are whole food plant based (vegan), and they catered the meal completely to accommodate us. The food was TO DIE FOR. Literally, of all the places we ate during our 10 day stay, this was hands down THE BEST! We loved learning how to cook all of it and especially loved eating it ☺️ 10 out of 10 experience, highly recommend if you like authentic, unique moments while traveling! This is for you.Posted on Margaret Wold-SackeyVerified Pepe is THE BEST and he is FUN, PERSONABLE, KIND, INFORMATIVE, HELPFUL, RELIABLE For those who plan to visit Puerto Vallarta, and would love to see historical sites, experience local culture, see the most beautiful beaches ... and maybe have a Tequila tasting (or chocolate)... don't look any further. Pepe is your GO TO guy when visiting Puerto Vallarta, Punta Mita, Sayulita, San Pancho, and the entire Bay of Banderas region. Where do I start? Pepe is young, fun, knowledgeable, personable, and for those who don't yet know Spanish, he speaks fluent English! His roots are PV, he knows the area inside and out. Let Pepe know what you want to see, he will curate a fun tour for you, as a couple, newlyweds, families with young children, or with elders. He has very nice cars that can handle 2 on up to 10-12 people. NICE cars, I might add! He does airport transportation (of course), but he is licensed as a tour operator, which opens up a world of interesting sites to see... Pepe provides the transportation for all my guests at my home in San Pancho - he also provides amazing tours for them should they want to venture out of San Pancho. Every single guest of mine has given HUGE kudos to Pepe - he is 'on it' and doesn't miss a beat. I value Pepe and my guests do too! A promise is given here - do not hesitate to contact Pepe. Airport transportation is where it starts, you'll meet him, and feel right at home in PV if you have Pepe around. I've known him for 4 years now, and feel very lucky to have met him at a 'vivero' (plant nursery) a few years ago in Sayulita. He is reliable, kind, fun, personable and a family man. Don't hesitate one iota to contact him anytime. You can text or use Whats App to contact Pepe. Margaret / owner of Casa PAW San PanchoPosted on RyanVerified Vallarta Roots is the best in the business! TL;DR: if you want the best tour guide in all of Mexico, call PePe/Vallarta Roots. Amazing experience and we highly, highly recommendNow if you’re like me and spend time reading long reviews, here’s the play-by-play of our time spent with Pepe:Let me start by saying that Pepe runs one of the most personable and professional operations I’ve ever seen. Pepe is born and raised in Puerto Vallarta and speaks both Spanish and English fluently.What started off as a simple request for airport dropoff & pickup, turned into us spending multiple days with Pepe and seeing everything from Sayulita to the Horcones River. My wife and I love to explore local culture when we travel but Pepe was also able to keep the attention of 9 & 7 year olds who would’ve been perfectly content sitting by the pool each day.On our way to Sayulita, Pepe took us to a local cacao/chocolate farm so we could see the process of making chocolate. And of course, we got to try the local product!Once we got to Sayulita, we were able to try a local restaurant (El Itacate), visit the beach, and walk around town to shop from the local vendors. My wife and I had been to Sayulita before so the highlight of this stop was our kids getting their hair braided on the beach!Between our Sayulita and Puerto Vallarta tours, we were supposed to go on a swim with the dolphins excursion. We ended up cancelling it two days before and Pepe took care of everything for us.Our next tour took us from Nuevo Vallarta through many different neighborhoods of Puerto Vallarta where Pepe explained the history of the city and let us get out and take photos from all the hidden gem lookout points! After the PV history tour, we continued south along one of the most beautiful coast lines I’ve ever seen. Pepe found a number of stops/lookout points for us to get out of the van and take family photos. One of the stops even had a giant Iguana that our kids were able to hold for photos. For the Puerto Vallarta excursion, we told Pepe that we wanted to try something local for lunch. He took us all the way up the Horcones River Canyon to a Mexican seafood restaurant (Marpago, I believe) with an outdoor deck and beautiful waterfall view. On the way back to Nuevo Vallarta, Pepe had lined up a tequila tasting at a local craft tequila maker in the jungle. My wife and I sampled many tequilas and brought bottles home for ourselves and gifts. To keep the kids occupied, Pepe found a zip line facility in the jungle next to the tequila maker and they were able to enjoy that before heading back to our hotel.Last but certainly not least, Pepe told us that he was thinking about adding a cooking class to his tour options. Next thing we knew, we were invited to try fresh carne asada & al pastor tacos and amazing homemade salsa & guacmoles all made by Pepe, his mom, and his wife. We look forward to when this becomes part of the offering!We had such an amazing time with Pepe and Vallarta Roots, I feel comfortable calling Pepe a friend now!If you’re ever in the Puerto Vallarta are or looking for somewhere to go, make sure you reach out to Pepe!Posted on Javier PVerified Beautiful trip!! The whole experience was awesome, Pepe is very knowledgeable and kind. He showed us around el Malecón, then headed to some beautiful lookout/sightseeing areas where you could see PV from high up very beautiful. Also got to visit San Sebastian del Oeste and La Bufa there, and got to see the agave fields as well as tasting local raicilla and tequilas which was awesome. Got the chance to snorkel with the fishes in Los Arcos which was unforgettable some of them even got as close to a couple feet away from you. It’s hard to be brief but everything was amazing, very good guide if you decide to go with Pepe you are in good hands.On top of all those, we stopped by playa Mismaloya, canopy river to get on the hanging bridge, and an awesome restaurant off the coast called el Coral which had amazing ceviche one of my favs, among others. Definitely recommend it, everything went smooth and just very enjoyable.Posted on Jimmy HVerified Friendly & Knowledgeable We used Pepe as our Driver from the airport to the condo we were staying at in the Romantic Zone. He was easy to communicate with, very friendly & handled all 4 of us crazy people very well. He even stopped at COSTCO on the way for us so we could shop and get stuff for our week stay. Would highly recommend him.Posted on DoreenVerified Best transportation Ever Jose (Pepe) was the best chauffer ever. He picked us up from the airport, had to do 2 trips because we came at different times and took us to our hotel. He was so courteous and professional and so nice. We needed 2 car seats and they were always in the van ready to go for each of our rides. I enjoyed chatting with him while we waited for the second group to arrive. We also made arrangements for him to drive us to and from downtown PV. It was so easy to arrange and he was very flexible even at the last minute. He was great at letting us know when he arrived to pick us up and was not just on time but always arrived earlier than requested just to be sure. He took us back to the airport from our hotel again so helpful and he is the best! We will definitely call him when we come back to PV! Thanks so much, Doreen
