Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 97 ratings
  • Tavel with splashes of Anti-Government Tangents

    If it wasn’t for Barry sprinkling in his displeasure with the Government, pandemic lock downs and vaccines, the Puerto Vallarta Travel Show would rate a solid 5 stars. It’s cringeworthy everything he goes off on either one of these subjects. These topics add nothing to the Puerto Vallarta experience, they only distract from his goal of showcasing Puerto Vallarta. Please return to cheerleading PV without political bias.

  • Making his personal feelings re Covid turned us off

    We were really looking forward to listening to this podcast as we are missing Puerto Vallarta (and the rest of Mexico) so much since Covid.

    Unfortunately, listening to the podcast host voicing his personal disapproval surrounding masks, vaccines and referring to the pandemic as “rona” was a complete turn off.

    We are also in the business of media and make every effort to keep our personal feelings to ourselves. Remaining neutral is so important. We will not listen to any more of this podcast ... more
