What are people saying about El Malecon

AnnieLabi, Jun 2026

Carmen is the best bike tour guide for PV

Carmen our tour guide was very informative taking us through a breezy ride at the Malecon boardwalk all the way to Romantic Zone passing by at Puerto Vallarta’s old historical church, Our Lady of Guadalupe. Going back we took the river side passing by Elizabeth Taylor’s old house, market place and cycled our way up to the light house for an amazing view of the city. Such a wonderful experience on our first day exploring Puerto Vallarta by bike and Carmen was a very friendly and cool guide.

Two wheels better than feet.

JC was an excellent tour guide. It was a small group and he provided a lot of info about PV. We were able to see a lot of PV and we had a great time.
