Obi was incredible. From... - Obi was incredible. From the moment he picked us up, we felt like family. The drive up and visit to San Sebastian was full of memorable stories, history, and sites. We were fortunate to stop at many spots including Lalo's tequila distillery, Comedor La Lupita for an amazing lunch (fresh, organic food - delicious!), Villa Cocoa for local chocolates, La Quinta Mari family coffee farm, and the San Sebastian Casa de Cultura Church and City museum. There we had a presentation from one of the descendants of the founding family. Obi's deep knowledge and personal connections made the trip even more special. If you want a truly memorable, local and authentic day tour, book this one. It's a full day of stops and conversation you won't forget and will be some of the best money you will ever spend. Thank you, Obi, for the incredible memories!!

San Sebastian de Oeste - Obi was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the area and the history. We had a great adventure visiting the Magic Towns of the mountains. The places we stopped, including the spot for coffee and pastries by the bridge was excellent. The mountains are so beautiful. Obi really took care of us and was very responsive, willing to make it 'our' trip to customize it to suit us. Highly recommend both the trip and Obi!

Was nice to see something different than Puerto Vallarta - Daniel picked us up from our AirBNB in Zona Romantica on time and drove us to San Sebastian and back. Was a great host to spend the day with. His SUV was a good size for my wife and out to see outside the windows and not a big bus that we would get sick on. He answered a lot of questions about the area and his English was great. On the way we visited a Tequila farm and got a demonstration of making Tequila. We don't drink so after the short demo we moved on to the next stop. Visited a small chocolate factory, visited an area where they sell opals and got a short demo of what opals look like and how they are mined. And visited a small coffee plantation and saw coffee been trees and some of the process. Had lunch in San Sebastian in the main plaza and then walked around the town and explored some of the back streets. There is not a lot to see in the town, but was nice to get away from Puerto Vallarta for a day and do something different. The drive is about 2 hours each way, so nice to see the countryside.

A Great Day Tour for Exploring Local Culture - My mom and I booked a private tour to San Sebastián del Oeste through Obi Tours, and we had a spectacular day! I initially expected a shorter excursion since we were visiting just one town, but our guide, Tommy (pictured), packed the day with incredible experiences. Before arriving in San Sebastián, we toured a tequila distillery, visited a coffee farm, and made tortillas for tacos—these unexpected additions turned out to be the highlights of our trip! Tommy was knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful throughout the day. He made a point to take us to local, family-owned businesses where he had a great rapport with the owners and staff, adding a personal touch to the experience. His attention to detail ensured we made the most of our time, and the convenience of hotel pickup and drop-off was especially helpful since it was our first time in Mexico and we weren’t familiar with the area. Overall, this was a perfect private tour of a charming colonial mountain town. And a final tip—don’t skip the churros in San Sebastián! They were so good that we had to go back for seconds.

Amazing tour! - Amazing tour to San Sebastián with 2 fabulous hosts, Vicho and Liz. Both were so friendly, informative and funny. We were well taken care of, and loved the stop to the distillery and exploring the town of San Sebastián. You will feel as if you’ve gone back in time. Liz took photos of the entire tour and sent a link to us with them, which was an added bonus! Thank you so much for a wonderful, safe, informative and fun day!

Perfect Day - Wow, what a great time. I booked a private tour to San Sebastian for four people. Our tour guide "Vicho" was such a pleasure! His knowledge about the Mexican culture, history and people was outstanding! The tequila tasting, the coffee farm and the town were all very charming. This is a must do for the PV visit!

Awseome Tour with an awesome Guide! - We had a great time touring the countryside surrounding Puerto Vallarta. Vicho was our guide - he was awesome! We toured a small family owned tequila distillery, coffee plantation, chocolate factory, and of the course the historic town. Wear comfortable shoes as walking on the cobblestone streets can be tiring and tricky.
