We take you into communities surrounding Puerto Vallarta where you will meet local artisans and learn how they make goods like piñatas, dresses, and tamales by hand. You will also enjoy a unique sampling of traditional foods and a non-touristy perspective of the real Mexico. On top of it all, this is an experience you can feel good about because we use your entire tour fee to support the artisans you meet with interest-free loans.

This was our second tour, the first one was last year. Elly was a great guide, and you could see that she was respected by the vendors and shop owners that she introduced to us. The whole tour idea is a great concept and we feel very lucky to have experienced it.

My fiance and I went to Puerto Vallarta last week and this was one of the best experiences we had while there. We knew we wanted a chance to meet local folks and learn about the culture, and we sure did. Elly was a great tour guide - she taught us about microlending and took us to go see three... More

Once in a while you come across something so exciting that you want to share it with all of your friends ASAP...this is that thing! My wife and I, as well as our 9 year old son, had the privilege of being invited into the lives of 3 wonderful ladies. These women want nothing more than to give their families... More

I am so glad that I discovered Investours and was able to encourage eight other lady friends to join me on a tour with Elly Rohrer, who heads up the Investours operations in Puerto Vallarta. What would have been a good experience became an amazing one when Elly was able to schedule us to visit three women entrepreneurs, turning the... More

Based on the reviews on this site, I contacted Elly with Investours and arranged a private tour for family. There were ten of us on the tour, five adults and five kids (all between 3-8 years old). It was a fantastic day out getting to see the real Puerto Vallarta, and getting to meet individuals who are trying to better... More

Taking a locals tour into the homes of small businesses was very educational and interesting!! Not only was it helping these women continue to build their vocation and support their families, it was fun to see another side of Mexico! The local women were delightful, smart and very driven to help lift their families to a better life! Thank you... More

I recently went on Investours' walking tour in Bucerías and it was, by far, the best part of my trip to the Puerto Vallarta area. Our group spent an afternoon learning about the lives of three entrepreneurial Mexicans, the products they create and sell, and how micro-loans positively change their lives. All three clients on our tour sold food items;... More

Ellie from Investours had arranged a kid-friendly tour for us which took us to a Bakers house where the kids got to make cookies (and eat them), a pinata makers house where the kids got to help,...

Investours is an amazing organization doing such great work! They provide tours during which you get to visit and speak with local artisans and learn more about what these artisans do in their day to day lives. Also, my tour happened to visit all food artisans so there was lots of delicious food to try along the way! And, the... More
