I loved this tour! I enjoy finding new things to do while traveling and this was a great experience. Sylvie was a fantastic guide/hostess who will show you something other than the touristy Puerto Vallarta. She gives you some culture as well as some history all while getting excercise. Bring some good walking shoes, a camera and a sense of... More

I've been coming to PV for years & usually just walk along the beach & Malecon but decided this trip I would try something new & Sylvie's Power Walk Tour was just what I was looking for! I'm a "senior citizen" but did not feel that the hills/steps were too strenuous. I've read about the Vallata sights & lore but... More

I have been coming to Puerto Vallarta for many years and spend 6 months each time. I really didn't think I would learn anything on this walk, I was just looking forward to the exercise and meeting new people. I was wrong! I found all sorts of neat spots I'd never been to before and learned lots of interesting facts... More

Recommended times 10!! Power walking up a fairly steep hill to get to the top of Vallarta for an AMAZING panoramic view of Banderas Bay is well worth the little bit of brow sweat. Just beautiful. You won't find this trail without the help of Sylvie the tour guide. Learning things about the city and nature along the way, the... More

Highly recommended! Sylvie is best in class if you want a great honest walking tour. Wonderful experience!! We recently took a "girls only" trip to PV as a pre-baby celebration for my best friend. We heard about Sylvie's great trips through a family friend who lives in PV. A note of the difficulty of this hike - we are both... More

A great way to see and feel Puerto Vallarta. A steady, steep walk uphill during the first portion of the walking tour, but what a reward at the top. The view over Banderas Bay was panoramic and breath-taking from a unique vista. Fruit and chocolate snack at the top was a treat and then to have a delicious tapas snack... More

As an avid walker now for a number of years, I've always felt the most interesting things are seen and experienced when on foot. If you want to get off the malecon and see the quaint back streets of Puerto Vallarta but are a little reluctant to do it on your own for the first time, then Sylvie is your... More

Let me start this review by saying that I am not a tour person. I’ve had my fill of over-paying someone to take me to places I can find on my own and tell me things I can read about for myself. That being said, Tours de Jour Power Walking Tours is completely different than other tours. Instead of being... More

Sylvie’s tour was the highlight of our trip. It's great to get off the beaten path and see parts of the city that most tourists don't stroll through. There’s a part where the walk becomes somewhat of a hike. The path that meanders up the hill in front of homes (which is really cool!) becomes pretty steep. At one point... More

I went with Sylvie with my son on this great walking tour. We walked to areas we wouldn't have ventured to on our own. She knew the back alleys and neighborhoods very well. She also pointed out many different plants and the dogs in the area are all her friends. It was a fun workout and we stopped for some... More
