He had such great in-depth information about whiskey and loved being asked any extra questions we had.

2.Puerto Vallarta: Botanical Gardens, Distillery & Coffee Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 39 reviews · 6 hours · from $89

Spend six hours with a bilingual guide such as Jorge, Giancarlo, or Jesus, visiting Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens, a tequila distillery, and an organic coffee factory. Expect orchid displays, forest trails, tastings, hotel pickup, air-conditioned transport, and useful local context.

“It was a great outing! Giovanni, the driver, and Jorge, the guide, were both courteous, professional and respectful. They picked us up right at the agreed upon time. The van was comfortable and air conditioned. Jorge has so much knowledge and tidbits of information to share! From nature, to geography to pop culture. The Botanical Gardens are stunning. There's a souvenir shop there and also at the coffee factory, both take credit cards. Julio at the tequila tasting was so fun and engaging. Great way to see these 3 places. The stop at the coffee farm was super quick. I wish it had been a bit longer.”
