What a great experience! We saw so much in a day, and man are the mountains inland from PV astonishing. I always tell myself that I am going to rent a bike or take a guided ride when on the road, but until calling up Bike Mexico last week I never actually followed through. I travel often, and love to ride motorcycles. And, on a technical note, I am a female rider 5'-4" and Jurgen was able to adjust the 250cc Honda so that I was completely comfortable with the seat height. I highly recommend these tours to anyone who rides and wants to see an intimate and compelling look at life outside of the city. Not only was Jurgen a terrific guide but his stories he told of travel that he and his wife, Eli have been on have stirred a thirst to continue traveling. We took breaks when we needed to and otherwise rode as much as we wanted. He knows his way around and was always concerned that I was seeing what I had hoped to and that I was comfortable. Jurgen is a wonderful, knowledgeable guide and very hospitable. Both tours were one-of-a-kind and fantastic. On the second day, we went on another theme and different direction to incorporate lonely beaches - also as yet unscathed by tours. We went into villages and to isolated areas that have not yet been discovered by tour buses. This was an amazing way to see parts of Jalisco outside of the city which I never would have seen - not even on a tour. I have been to PV several times but had never had a vehicle to get around. The first day we did the jungles, mountains, colonial villages tour. I went on both day tours with Jurgen during my stay in Puerto Vallarta. SUMMARY - You're very seriously missing out if you decide to not do this in PV. One more bonus - Jurgen is extremely helpful in general and recommended to us good snorkeling spots (which you won't know about by looking online), in addition to showing us on the map where other great spots are, for those who want to rent motorcycles themselves. The bikes are nice and powerful, and mine didn't have a scratch on it. Believe me when I say I would've paid double what it actually cost to do it (and I'm a college student, so I don't exactly have a load of cash sitting around to spend). If you want to see the real Mexico and indulge your sense of untouched beauty and pure adventure, you have to do this tour. He makes absolutely sure that you're comfortable and matches his pace to yours - you can forget about the rules of the road and just follow him and focus on the riding experience, in addition to the sightseeing (which is literally out of this world). Also, Jurgen himself is a bike lover and as such explores very remote places around Jalisco in his spare time, so take it very seriously when I say that you will never find them on your own or through any other tour. The tour is a full day tour - around 200 kms total of motorcycle riding through what I personally thought was a challenging road, in the best way. We did the mountains & lonely beaches tour, and there is definitely no better activity around town (I CANNOT stress this enough).
