Jimmy was an excellent tour guide. He gave me interesting historical aspects of the community. He was very informed in describing various plants and flowers during the tour. I highly recommend him.

This was a very interesting tour. Jimmy was a great guide and was very knowledgeable about the gardens, as well as Mexican history and the local area. I really enjoyed seeing all the beautiful flowers and the great variety of colorful birds (including hummingbirds and a peacock). If you have time, eat at the restaurant and walk down to the river. I definitely recommend it.

Jimmy was great; very nice, very knowledgeable. He knew a lot about the history of the area and had an excellent way to draw you into the stories. He didn't know as much about the flowers and plants as I was expecting but was very open about that from the beginning and would regularly check his guide notes to make sure he didn't miss anything. It was very informative and much better than wandering through without a guide. Thanks so much Jimmy!

We travelled with our guide, Abraham, on the local bus from Puerta Vallarta to the Botanical Gardens. We enjoyed views of the sea and hotels before turning into the mountains to reach the gardens. For people who value nature and enjoy the opportunity to see a wide variety of plants in a beautiful setting, this garden is a treat. We left with a sense of gratitude for the many people who have taken a piece of barren land and turned it into an award winning piece of paradise. We would like to express a special thanks to our botany specialist, Abraham, who added depth and meaning to the experience.

Abraham did a wonderful job explaining so many things about the culture and plants. He is kind, wonderful personality. He speaks English very well and is easy to understand. Thank you Abraham for a wonderful experience! Well worth every penny!
