Customer Reviews

The tour is really a unique experience and I highly recommend it. Everything was very smooth, our guide was very knowledgeable and addressed all our questions. At the Palenque, the tour was done by Conejo himself. He took us to the mountains and explained in detailed about different types of agave plants that he grows. Afterwards we had some delicious tamales and went back to see the rest of the production process. You could really see how passionate the guy is about what he does. We learned so much. After we went on to tase some of the mezcals that Conejo produced and purchased our favorite ones. Will definitely be back!

Victor, our guide was great! Really good English and the car is so clean. We did the tour without lunch and it was still a great experience. Love that this tour supports the local communities in Oaxaca!

Easy booking online and good communication both before the booking and the day of. We were lucky enough to have just the two of us in a boat, but I believe they take up to 6. These are fairly small fishing boats (the ones you see on South Sayulita beach) and if the seas are rough, it's a bit of a rough ride. We didn't have any issue with that, but some may not enjoy that part. Our captain Javier was very down to earth, easy to be in a boat with all day, and knowledgeable. We had some unbelievable whale interactions both on the way to and from the islands. We were able to enjoy hidden beach, a tour of the islands, and snorkeling. I would recommend this tour for anyone who is looking for a bit of an adventure, and is reasonably fit. They did bring some water and fruit and there is a cooler with ice if you want to bring your own drinks/snacks. It's about an 4 hour trip in total.

I arranged for a roundtrip taxi ride from Mexico Insider from Puerto Vallarta to a small town about an hour's drive north, and could not be more happy with the booking ease, clear communication from all Insider teammates, and our stellar driver, Juan. He was a great driver and game to help me practice my terrible Spanish on the ride, and he was SO helpful with recommending the just-right supermarket stop for our particular needs before heading to our small town. I will ONLY book my taxis from PV airport through this outfit. Thank you Mexico Insider!

Ok so Juan saved our butts two times. When we first arrived in MX it took 3 hrs to get through customs & immigration and Juan waited for us for 2 full hours at the OXXO across the street. Then, when he picked us up at the end of our stay, he drove us 45 minutes to the airport only for us to realize we'd left something critical in our hotel room. He took my husband back to Sayulita to pick it up and back to the airport in time to catch his flight with 20 minutes to spare. He has, and I want to be very clear here, "Brass balls, a lead foot and a heart of gold". 15/10 would recommend HIGHLY.

The local guides were incredible. I had two scared kids and the guides worked with them to make them feel comfortable. So much so that by the end of the trip the kids were grinning and thanking us for the experience.
