★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,667 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) Our pick

Review of Puerto Vallarta’s Rhythms of the Night, with sunset sailing, candlelit buffet, open bar, acrobatics, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“What an amazing experience!! If there is one big excursion that you want to do on your vacation, let it be this!! From the party boat ride in, to the sight of seeing the tiki torches as you pull into the dock! You get this warm, fuzzy feeling as you start to feel immersed in their environment!! It's like a maze of experiences as soon as you set foot on land. You'll head to your candlelit table by the ocean and be serenaded by musicians as you enjoy a nice buffet dinner! Then the show! The main attraction!! The MC was hilarious and kept us on our toes! The acrobats,…”

“Food was really good. Drinks were weak and had a lot of mixer with them. Ended up asking for shots and beer. Didn’t upgrade to the premium package they offered once you get on the boat. Live band was excellent. This is a more laid back crowd, more relaxing. Bring cash to tip servers, band, buy pictures and the $2 port fee when boarding.”

The narration during the tour was informative and witty. This was a wonderful event!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 290 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $199

Review of Cabo’s luxury sunset yacht cruise with Arch views, open bar, chef dinner, practical tips, value, and honest drawbacks.

“Exceptional service from every single staff member! We tipped them very well because they all made the experience great. They were professional and attentive making sure we had beverages and were well taken care of. The seas were a bit rough but the captain handled it well as did the staff. The boat was clean and well-kept and we felt safe. The charcuterie trays were good, it could have been on a lighter plate with sides, as it slid around a bit, the wood boards were heavy for us as it was bumpy and probably heavy for staff. Dinner was good, but the other appetizer was bruchetta and I felt…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 219 reviews · 5 hours · from $129

Review of Puerto Vallarta’s Rhythms of the Night, with sunset sailing, dinner, open bar, jungle theater, value, tips, and practical advice.

“We really enjoyed this tour! Our guides on the boat were entertaining and kept everyone’s drinks filled. Dinner was delicious. While there are lots of people on same tour, it still felt you were on a deserted island. The show itself was impressive as well. Things to be aware of: men do not have to wear pants. Plenty of people were shorts. Depending on when you go, it’s extremely hot. Dress comfortable. Plenty of people dress up but comfort is also key.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 154 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $250

Review of a Mexico City hot-air-balloon trip over Teotihuacán with breakfast at La Gruta, transport, costs, timing, and practical booking advice.

“The personalize service from the minute we were picked up to the last step. Things that stood out were the guide, Daniel, who was amazingly. He was well-educated and knew his subject mater. I typically know more than most tour guides--not this time. Another thing that we loved was the intimate breakfast my daughter and I had at the hacienda. I will use this agency next time I am in Mexico. I am also recommending it to all my colleagues. And one final thing, no I was not paid for doing this. It was a pleasure working with Misael. Thank you for making our trip memorable.”
