Hop On Hop Off Tour with Free Stops in Puerto Vallarta

The hop on/off is not true! This is a scam! There is only 2 buses. We wanted to get off at the Malecon and hop back on after lunch in Las Gloria’s but couldn’t find the stop. No schedule is available. The guide was not bilingual. We paid $40 to ride the bus from the marina to malecon. Don’t waste your pesos!! No significant history during the ride either.

I’ve done various hop on hop off bus tours in various cities and this one was not as predictable. Usually you can get off at any stop and another bus will come around within the hour. For this one if you got off, you had to be in that location for 2 hours. I typically don’t get off at all because of a connective tissue disorder. I just like to see as much as possible from the top of the bus and get a lay of the land since I can’t walk far! They didn’t communicate this well but there were 4-5 particular stops were you were made to get off. The first was the Malecón for 20 minutes. Not enough time in my opinion. Then another 20 minutes at a gorgeous beach, but there was no shade and no where to sit so we were hot and uncomfortable. The real kicker was when we had to get off on the side of the road/highway for 30 minutes where all these vendors were. Again no where to sit or get respite from the sun unless you wanted to be in the vendor tents and get hawked for a sale. We avoided two other stops because people weren’t interested (I think the chocolate and tequila stops). In summary it was 3 hours on a bus where if you sat on top, you would fry and if you sat down below inside you would suffocate… If we knew all this, we wouldn’t have done it. Not enough to see in Puerto for this bus and not a lot of history to learn about.

We really enjoyed this tour. The pickup instructions were a bit confusing, but once we made connections with Oscar our tour guide all was good. We saw so much of Puerto Vallarta we would have not seen on our own and very reasonable priced.

Great way to see the city! Hop on and off as you please. The guides were very pleasant and helpful. They offered cold drinks which were refreshing.

Best way to get a fabulous overview of PV! There's so much to see and experience, you need to take a week. But if you have just a day, this is perfect!!

Great trip. Saw a lot of Puerto Vallarta you would not see on your own. Very accommodating to us. Beer was nice. Stop to walk a few minutes and see some folks wares . Just a good experience

Oscar is the best! He is friendly, entertaining and gives great restuarant recomnendations.The experience cab be improved by providing cold bottles of water and Cokes for chikdren and adults who do not drink alcohol.

Riding around in PV on top of the bus. A very unique perspective of P.V. dodging branches and mangos. A lot of fun!

Stopping and spending a hour at the last stop (sorry don't remember the name). Small quaint town nice beach and cold beer.

Nice way to see the city and hear about the history. There was no booth downtown where we met the bus for our bracelets which was a little confusing. It worked out though as the tour people on the bus made the transaction.
