Hello everyone! My name is Cervando, and I'm a tour guide here in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I'd like to invite you to visit our beautiful city and discover some amazing places in the surrounding area. Here's a little about me: I was born and raised in this beautiful city. I studied Tourism in high school, and since I was very young. I've enjoyed serving tourists in many different ways. Throughout my career, I've work in several areas of the tourism industry including restaurants, hotels, airlines and tour operators from the United States and Canada. I also worked as a Customer Service Representative for Sunquest Vacations. I begun my guiding career leading large groups for several tour operators and cruise lines such as First Choice, Signature Vacations, Virtuoso, Carnival, Disney, Celebrity cruises. Today, I'm proud and happy to be a guide with ToursByLocals. One of the things I enjoy most, is sharing the beauty of my country with visitors. I have a true passion for Mexico- its history, culture, traditions, and people. I love nature, spending time with my family, and meeting people from al over the world. Qualifications : Tourists guide credential issued by tourism department Federal driver license for transporting tourists First Aid course (recurrent) I look forward to showing you the best of Puerto Vallarta and creating unforgettable memories together!

Overview of your Puerto Vallarta tour

Puerto Vallarta is much more than beautiful beaches and ocean views. It's a city full of history, traditions, hidden streets, and unforgettable stories waiting to be shared. As someone born and raised here, I'll take you beyond the typical tourist attractions and introduce you to the Puerto Vallarta I know and love. During our private tour, you'll discover the city's most iconic landmarks while also exploring charming neighborhoods and places many visitors never find on their own. We'll stroll the famous Malecón, admire the beautiful Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, wander through the vibrant Romantic Zone and visit the historic Gringo Gulch, where Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton lived. We'll also enjoy a scenic drive along the southern coastline to Mismaloya, where the movie The Night of the Iguana was filmed. If you'd like, we can also stop for lunch at one of my favorite local restaurants , where you'll have the opportunity to experience authentic regional cuisine.
