Hi there! Nice to meet you

Hesli

I was born at San Blas (a small fisherman town) in the state of Nayarit. When I was 1 year old my family moved to Durham, North Carolina and lived there for 12 years. When I was about to turn 13 years old my family and I moved to Banderas Bay / Puerto Vallarta area and studied in a High School at La Cruz de Huanacaxtle town for 3 years then. And studied Puerto Vallarta at the University of Guadalajara at UDG Campus Puerto Vallarta and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Tourism. I have lived in the region for 23 years working in top luxury hotel brands and I`d be delighted to share my experience with all visitors!

Hesli was an amazing guide for us. We had a fairly large group of all ages and she showed us her favorite spots in Puerta Vallarta. Her energy and expertise kept us all engaged and interested to learn more about her home town. My parents are still talking about the great tour Hesli gave. I highly recommend her! Thanks Hesli!Fantastic guide!

Took my family of 5 on a Mexican Riviera cruise with a stop in Puerto Vallarta. We had an amazing experience with Hesli. She took us to places we never would have known about. My oldest wanted to purchase an item from a local vendor, and she helped us find a vendor whose family made their own beaded jewelry. She pointed out where the locals eat, gave us the history and meanings behind many of the gorgeous sculptures, and gave us tips for a future visit. She introduced us to Tuba which is an incredibly refreshing drink the locals made.. we never would have known about! We also tried a fresh tortilla while on our walk through town, so good! Plan to walk a lot. Very happy we did this walking tour and would recommend it to everyone!!!Amazing Experience

My wife and I have been to PV, many a time. With Hesli, we finally got to see the real PV. Bourdain said "be a traveler not a tourist", and for a day-trip off a cruise ship, this is as close as you can get. Thank You Hesli for taking us behind the scenes and telling us the story along the way!You NEED to do this tour

We thoroughly enjoyed our wonderful walking tour with Hesli, a very dynamic, knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. Hesli conveyed her deep love for Puerto Vallarta, its history and its people throughout the visit tailored to our needs. We discovered hidden gems, visited the charming art district, the Malecon, the zona Romantica and even enjoyed a tuba, a traditional and refreshing drink. We had great fun. Thank you so much Hesli! Definitely a 10, Hesli, the perfect guide!
