Hi there! Nice to meet you

Francisco Javier

My name is Francisco and I am a proud Puerto Vallarta native. Here is where me and most of my family lives. Nature lover, photographer, and dance instructor (salsa & bachata).

Since I was a kid, I always loved exploring every corner of my city, which gave the opportunity to have an overall perspective rather than just the turistic areas. I love where I was born and I am always excited to welcome our visitors and about sharing our identity through the food, traditions, art craft, life style, and the beauty of our nature and with everybody.

As a photographer I've worked for years in different fields such as family sessions, weddings, food, real estate but portraits and nature have always been my strongest passions. If you have a particular taste for photography, my city has endless beautiful spots from colorful human made places to mangroves, islands, rivers, jungle, waterfalls that I am happy to share with you.

I am passionate about languages and I currently speak Spanish (native), English, French, & Italian.

Let me share my love for the city with you and aloud yourself to connect with Puerto Vallarta through local´s eyes.

We had an amazing tour with Francisco Javier. Francisco grew up in the area and had so much knowledge that he shared with us. He was so genuine and personal it was easy to connect to him immediately. We saw some amazing sites and felt at ease. He brought us to several lookouts along our tour Overlooking Puerto Vallarta. He customize the tour for us based on our interest we ended at a market where we bought some original art from a local artist. I highly recommend if you’re thinking of booking a tour do yourself a favor and book with Francisco Javier.!Hidden gems of Puerto Vallarta

Worst experience with withlocals since I started using their service in 2019. -Contacted the host via the app chat right away to see if i could re-schedule my booking by 1 day. No response -Since the host is a photographer. I Sent another mesage asking to focus the tour on street photography. No response -sent another message early the day our meeting would take place. No response -sent 2 messages 5 and 10 minutes after the scheduled time. No reponse Tried to contact withlocals to get a refund for 2 days now and still no response. The next step will be to contact my bank. Was I ghosted by the host?
