"We were in PV last week for vacation but wanted a local taco experience. Pepe picked us up had cold drinks and towels in a cooler in the back and knew just when to pass them out. He took us to several authentic taco shops, explained the history of town, took us to a few shops. This was an amazing experience. Our final stop was tequila tasting. Make sure to bring some home."
Lauren Johnston
"4/25 We met Pepe through our Air BnB host. Glad she did facilitate our acquaintance. He met our family at the airport and transported us to our vacation home. The vehicle was a very comfortable new Toyota van and later an equally new and comfortable SUV for another leg of our stay in San Panch. Pepe was always on time and organized, ensured we were where we needed to be at the appropriate time. Very good driver, great vehicles and a wonderful tour host. Pepe is a fifth generation Puerto Vallarta resident, he knows the area well and expresses himself clearly in English and Spanish (of course).
