If you're reading this don't think about it, just do it! Originally we were going to rent a car and drive ourselves from Mazatlan to Puerto Vallarta, but after doing some research we thought it was better to hire a private driver. Boy, are we glad we did!!!! It was a bit more expensive but after experiencing the drive it would have been a very stressful and miserable experience on our own. Our driver David was extremely courteous and picked us up right at our condo in Mazatlan and dropped us off right at our condo in PV. He made the entire drive pleasant and fun, and even stopped on the highway for me to get some tamales!!! He explained all about the agricultural areas we drove through, and when we told him we wanted to take the "scenic route" he did not disappoint. We took an alternate route through several small "ranchos" (small villages) and made a stop in Sayulita where we had time to walk through town and grab some lunch. David made a very long trip very enjoyable and stress-free and we can not recommend him highly enough. The best decision we made this trip!!
