"Met a tour agent through a Canadian, Ed, who has been going for decades and recommended to us Juan Manual Robles Valadez who sold us 2 excursions at a much cheaper price than what the airline agent was offering, and gave us excellent service, while arranging for us to get private transportation to the marina for the 2 excursions we chose which originated from the Vallarta Marina."
