Itinerary
At Malpica,, we will visit a brick oven bakery heated with wood and a rustic floor tile factory where we will be able to get samples from both places.
The next stop on this tour will be an artisans workshop and store by the highway between Malpica and Concordia, where we will find arts and crafts made on site. A few steps away from the store, you will find the workshop and the ovens where the artisans transform a bunch of clay into a beautiful piece of art.
One of the biggest attractions on this tour is Saint Sebastian church, located at the hearth of Concordia, a town founded in 1565 by Francisco de Ibarra. This is one of the oldest towns in the state of Sinaloa, and it is popular because of silver mining, furniture making and the traditional "Raspado", similar to shaved ice cone. You will also have the option of enjoying a Mexican lunch at El Granero restaurant, located beging Saint Sebastian Church.
In Mesillas, a small town at the foothills of the Sierra, we will have time to visit a couple artisanal furniture stores and a local bakery.

Jesus was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and enjoyable. The personal tour was great and didn’t feel rushed. Highly recommend Jesus.
David was very attentive, and organized. Our driver, Ismael, was amazing. His grandfatherly charm and knowledge, A++
Thank you very much Benjamin, we are glad you had a great time with Ismael. we knew your expectations were high about this tour and you trying to show your family lots of our history, heritage and traditions, thats why we designated Ismael to your group, he has being a tourist guide for more than 20 years, and him, like all of us, love being a tourist guide. we hope to see you and your family again. thank you
We spent a day in Mazatlán during a cruise stop, and the tour company’s location inside the cruise terminal made things super convenient. After a short wait, we met our guide, Windy, and headed out for a fantastic excursion. Windy was warm and friendly, eager to share his knowledge of the area and its culture. Our first stop was a local brick factory, followed by a visit to the small town of Malpica, where we explored two artisan shops—one specializing in decorative ceramic tiles and the other a popular local bakery. After a quick visit to the town church, we continued to Concordia. There, Windy gave us a lovely tour of the Church of San Sebastián, and we had plenty of time to stroll around and shop. We had planned to visit Copala next, but storm damage had closed the road. Thinking on his feet, Windy took us back to Mazatlán for a wonderful tour of the old town, including stops at the Cathedral of Mazatlán (Immaculate Conception), the Mazatlán Lighthouse (El Faro area), and more shopping time. It was an amazing day, and thanks to Windy’s passion and dedication, every moment was memorable.
This adventure was a last-minute decision, and we really appreciated how accommodating they were in getting us scheduled on such short notice. My husband and I ended up being the only ones on the tour, which made it feel like a VIP experience! Luis was fantastic—he genuinely wanted to make sure we enjoyed every part of our day. Even though it was outside the busy season, we still managed to visit many sights and see so much. Since my husband and I love exploring historical areas and local culture, Luis tailored the experience perfectly to our interests. While a few places were closed, we never felt like we missed out. We enjoyed a delicious meal at Daniel’s, took the mine tour, and made several scenic stops along the way. Overall, we had an amazing time and would highly recommend this tour—you won’t be disappointed!
Seeing some authentic towns and seeing the local culture was an excellent experience . Great tour 😎
Our host David was very knowledgeable and shared his insight about the history and culture of the cities we visited. We enjoyed our day out and he even allowed us to stop at a grocery store to pick up a few items. I would recommend David and use him for other tours. He was flexible and fun - and best of all, he makes margaritas in the back of the van too!
Loved our first village. It was a true insight of how the villagers performed their business. David (our guide) was very informative and was one of the best guides we have ever experienced throughout the world. Unfortunately, because of COVID the villages were not yet recovered. Also because of Mother's Day being the day before our trip, the restaurant that we had anticipated to visit was closed, but David took us to our now favorite restaurant in Mazaltan (Mr. Leonso) when we requested a seafood/Mexican restaurant.
Hello Amigos!!! Thank you very much, I remember most of the restaurant options were closed because of Mothers day celebration the day before, but we made it to a really nice ocean front restaurant in Mazatlan. The first town we visited was Malpica, where we visited Jorge, the floor tile artisan and had the opportunity to get some brick oven bread also. Thank you very much, and we hope to see you in Mazatlán again.
David is one of the most knowledgeable tour guides anywhere. His knowlege of Mexican History makes this tour so much more than visiting 3 lovely REAL Mexican pueblos. His English is Great. He lived in Canada and speaks Canadian very well. The English, not the French. A bonus is his Great Mango Margaritas. We went to a lovely lunch spot. You will enjoy any of his tours. Durango will be my next one Cheryl F
Cheril!!! how are you doing? I do remember you liked the mango margaritas that we freshly make on the vehicle, and knowing the history of these Mexican pueblos is what makes them more magical to visit. We were lucky to get to Mr. Lionso restaurant for lunch, where you got your huge plate filled with seafood cooked in front of our eyes. We hope you can come again to Mazatlán and enjoy the Durango excursion through the Sierra Madre mountains.
David picked us up on time from our hotel. Drove us to Malpica, Concordia and Copala in his air conditioned van. Which was very clean. He was very professional. The tour was fabulous. He took us to a Tile Factory, an old church, did some shopping in all the small pueblos and had lunch at very nice restaurant which is famous for the banana cream pie. Best part of the tour was the Margaritas he made for us. Tamarindo Margaritas are so good and refreshing. If you are looking for a great tour I recommend this one
Thank you very much amigos, I was very lucky on meeting you and the whole family, hope to see you again sooner or later. next time we will have different margarita flavors.
