Would like to know of any short tour (-4 hrs) from this port.Good for seniors. No zip lining

I would just add that if your goal is to simply go into Centro (downtown) and walk along the Malecon (where you can shop, eat, people watch, etc) then no need to spend the big bucks on one of the taxis or vans inside the port (they charge more then the taxis on the street). Simply walk out of the port up to the main street (across from SAms and Walmart) and either grab yellow taxis (less then $7 (total cost) to get you downtown) or hop on any bus that has "Centro" written on the window (this costs 6.5 pesos or about 50cents).

 

Once in Centro and at the Malecon, a van or taxi is worthless as this is a pedestrian walkway. I recently posted here about our port day (last month) in PV where we took our 6 tablemates on a tour of PV. The total cost of that tour was $1 per person plus what they spent on drinks and food. What they got was a walking tour of the Malecon (including my commentary on the well known art works), browsing some local shops including one with great Huichol art (unique to this part of Mexico), a beer break with ocean front beach table at the Sea Monkey where beer and Margaritas are only $1, and finally to a beach club where we enjoyed some lunch (and more cheap beer) and swam in the very warm ocean (Bandaras Bay). One of our tablemates did remark that were overcharged at the $1 tour price (the cost of using the bus round trip from the port) but that was just all the beer/Margaritas talking :)

Sounds like a great way to spend the day. Do you get the bus back to the port in the same area as you get off?

Will we be able to pick up a van tour at the pier in PV and what is the best things to see and what would it cost if we hook up with a small group?

Would love to receive a copy of your notes. sunnie__days@peoplepc.com

they would be very much appreciated. thanks in advance

We will be on the MSC Poesia in Sept. Does anyone know what cruise terminal we will be docked at. Also, what is the best inexpensive way to get to Brugges without walking more than a mile. Thanks
