We just returned and what a beautiful location! I can NOT wait to get back!

[@kellbray4236]

Hi. Thanks for this excellent coverage We took a trip all the way from New Zealand as a bucket list trip to Puerto Vallarta. And we watch this video to bring back very fond memories

[@timlee5260]

I enjoy taking the bus to Boca or San Pancho. It’s pretty cheap and feels like an adventure.

[@waynesilva3129]

When I lived in PV. The late 1950s. My dad started the first commercial laundry. Today PV is a movie prop for the tourists and that's it.

[@elmarbartel2699]

Please give me some more information. What do you mean by that?

[@TonyFinn-py3yy]

It's a tourist trap that is expensive.

[@robyoung9968]

Great video, I plan on vacationing here soon, this really helps me get to know the City better.

[@mileshigh1321]

Been a while since I was there, but planning to go back early next year! Thanks for your great video's!

[@micahangelica]

The trip to Puerto Vallarta was a hit! I took my family to all of the recommended sites and everyone loved it. Thanks to this video I impressed everyone with my knowledge of PV and we had a great time. I felt like a local. Hope you get a chance to visit and use this guide.

[@emilyday3593]

My sister and I were in PV last week and did the lighthouse hike per your recommendation/instructions. It was great! Thanks for sharing 😁

[@alysmalls]

So glad you enjoyed Emily!

Exceptional videos on Vallarta and Vallarta area. I live here a good part of the year and you are spot on

[@coryg7051]

Great video. I'm taking my wife and adult children to PV early May. First time for any of us in Mexico. So excited to see this beautiful country and celebrate my daughters 21st birthday in the sun! So many awesome places to check out, one week wont even scratch the surface, but damnit, we'll try!!

[@alysmalls]

You're going to love it! I hope you all have a fantastic trip

[@sachikomuramatsu1864]

This video is making me want to go check out Puerto Vallarta

[@Clutching.My.Pearls]

Excellent tips and ideas! We're going soon and will definitely check them out. ❤

[@reannadonald7759]

Aly, thank you for your videos and the content you provide. I will be doing my first solo travel soon to both Bucerías and Sayulita. Your videos have helped me feel more comfortable and more prepared for this special to me moment. Cheers!

[@alysmalls]

Perfect spots for solo travelers, enjoy!

[@mirella8733]

Great video, thanks for posting, love PV and currently in Bucerias.

[@moncorp1]

Yeah, just got back from first time visit to PV. Pay attention to what time of year you go. When its hot, its HOT. And climbing up to the Mirador isn't for everyone. It is a long, LONG way up there. Solid steps the entire way. We were sweating profusely and exhausted and just gave up and went to the lighthouse instead. The view there was awesome too. It was just down the street from Our Lady of Guadalupe. And we work out and walk 6 days a week. So just be aware. We actually didn't enjoy old PV too much. It was a combination of things. The heat, the humidity, the dirt and grime. It hadn't rained in months when we were there. Everything outside had dirt and grime on it. You couldn't just sit down anywhere. And I don't know if it was trash day or if there was a garbage strike, but there was trash piled up everywhere. And not just household garbage either. Pallets, mattresses, boxes, etc. were piled up everywhere. That and when you were on the busy streets and the traffic stopped, the exhaust smell was overwhelming. The mrs. said she never needed to go back into old PV. I'm willing to give it another shot, but it will definitely be at a different time of year.

[@FNOZMAN]

Great info! Thank you

[@VictorLopez-fu4md]

I loved this place the beach and people ist nice

[@julieochoa5342]

Thank you for sharing these wonderful tips. We will be in PV next Wednesday is the free walking tours near the cruise port?

[@alysmalls]

It will be about a 15 minute taxi ride to get to downtown. Type in Turismo Puerto Vallarta on google maps and the one at the plaza is the meeting spot

[@sandramalone3522]

This makes a beautiful vacation but any practical tips on MOVING there like if there are cheap apartments and is it safe??

[@alysmalls]

I haven't done a video on this yet but hope to in the future

[@mrx__678]

Great, i am in PV right now

[@alysmalls]

Hope you're having a great time!

[@stevendesmond7064]

Nice video! ❤

[@alysmalls]

Thanks Steven!!

[@Hummingbirds2023]

Hi Aly! I would love that iced tea too! I am a big iced tea fan!

[@alysmalls]

Hope you can go try it one day!

[@marivega3294]

I don't think I've ever been to Puerto Vallarta but the last time I went to Nuevo Vallarta was in 2009. I get the awesome chance to actually go to PV by cruise in february. Can't wait! Also, do you happen to know if there are any shells on the beaches?

[@goretiteixeira3700]

I will be visiting in July 22 was wondering if you have visited pv in summer if so what are your thoughts and is the walking tour available during summer?

[@chrismetcalf1261]

I visited PV a few years back as my first solo adventure outside Canada. I will honestly say that I felt lost, overwhelmed and a bit scared(even as a 6'4 220lb guy). I enjoyed my time there but after I left and looked at my pictures I realized I missed out on really enjoying it. I have been having a craving for going back recently and will definately be going 2024. On a side note...you look familiar lol (like irl). I look forward to watching more of your videos :)

[@alysmalls]

It's one of my favorite cities, I think you're going to love it so much more the second time!

[@dennishassler605]

PV is amazing and I may move there this coming year; however, I also LOVE Huatulco where it's more pristine and cheaper, too.

[@Cindy-xx8qw]

Beautiful video! Do you of any all inclusive resorts that are nearby these attractions you had listed? Are these areas easily accessible by foot or bus or taxi?

[@ritaceron7329]

q…rico Vacation ☮️❤️

[@josejimenaz]

Wow way better than Newport Beach california.

[@ritaceron7329]

🇲🇽 y 🇺🇸 viva ❤

[@GonzE1993]

Aly where do you recommend staying ? we stayed in the Zona Romantica thinking of staying there again but i am not sure.

[@alysmalls]

I made a video about my 4 favorite hotels in ZR and centro - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5fQYX6YYpiNrK8si=rudw1Qh0C46I7N_M maybe you'll find one of these that you like!

[@warrenthoms8423]

Are you guys heading up to Bucerias

[@jenniferressmannwriter]

Thanks for this video. I would have had a hard time not scooping up that little white dog that needed attention at the end there. This is one of the things holding me back from going to Mexico. It's gonna break my heart.

[@alysmalls]

It's actually getting a lot better now! Way more dogs are now pets instead of strays compared to even 3-4 years ago. I feel you though, our dog is also a rescue.

[@jenniferressmannwriter]

@@alysmalls That's great to hear! We rescue too 🧡
