Gianel Hernandez was the leader and was very personable and knowledgeable as to the history of the area. The tour highlighted what it was like when the mining companies controlled the area. Highly recommend this tour if you want to learn more about the area.

A fun and unique way to spend a little time in the evening. This tour was a nice mix of cultural & historic info with a couple ghost stories in the mix. Gia was a great guide, very personable, knowledgeable, and passionate.

A fun way to connect with the community!

Nicolle_O, Feb 2026

What a fun experience! Gia was so engaging and passionate sharing with us about history for the original townsite and culturally about what the Day of the Dead truly means. This was the highlight of the trip, away from the big tourist attractions and city bustle with an opportunity to truly learn about and connect with the community. Such a fun little tour!!

This was such a fun activity to learn about some history of Puerto Vallarta! For a touristy destination, I was concerned there wouldn’t be much history to learn about but this tour completely changed my mind!

Tracy_L, Jan 2026

Interesting history and some ghost stories combined. 90 minutes was a perfect amount of time. Gia was very pleasant.

Great , historical tour.

Ryan_F, Jan 2026

We enjoyed this tour. It was more than a ghost tour, it was a historical tour of Puerto Vallarta. Gia spoke perfect English and was knowledgeable of the area, since her family has been here for a long time. I would recommend this tour.
