This was great for getting a guided overview of the town. Our guide, Gloria, did a fantastic job of telling us all the stories around the historical features, important sites, and when special events would occur around the year. The car was comfortable, air conditioned, and she had water available to ensure we didn’t get dehydrated. We got to all the popular spots around town and it was an appropriate amount of time. I will note, they do take you to a store at the end of the tour where you get a bit of a sales pitch for jewelry, knickknacks, etc. But, at least they are good quality and reasonably priced for what they are. The free alcohol is only at that store, which for us was fine as we don’t really drink much. Overall, a great experience for getting all around the city in a reasonable amount of time. Spend more time in Old Town if you can; the Golden Zone is just like Daytona Beach at spring break - very commercial, corporate, and boring.
Our tour guide David went out of his way to help us. He gave us a heads up on the conditions on an activity that we had booked. He called the tour operator and let us know what was happening and what to expect.
I was a very hot day in the 90's and humid too. The vans air conditioning could not keep up making the tour very uncomfortable. The driver tried getting another van but couldn't. It was so hot in the van that my Son got sick from the heat. Yes it's Mexico and gets hot, but why wouldn't the company invest in an axillary air conditioning unit to make it's guests comfortable. When I booked the tour I did so because I knew it would be hot and they said air conditioned vehicles. Would of been a great tour with a proper vehicle.
Hello Christopher, we apologize for the inconveniences that we caused you and your family here at Mazatlán. During your tour, thermic sensation was actually 122° F, this is why during some parts of the tour, vehicles could keep a cold temperature. That was one of the hottest and humid days had on summer. Our vehicles A/C are always checked, more on summer time, but with our passengers getting on and off the vehicle, humidity gets in the vehicle every time we open the door. Its not that hot and humid during summer time here at Mazatlán, it was just that day that was extremely hot and humid Christopher, our apologies.
driver was very helpful, but the divers weren't able to drive. not drivers fault. our group were not alcohol drivers so during first stop, driver went to get sodas for us
Hellos Shari, we appreciate your review. Me personally was your tour guide and driver and I don't understand what you mean by "I was not able to drive". I designated the first front 4 seats for you and your friends because you had a wheelchair with you, and were really happy about it. In my cooler I had water, beer and different types of soda, (Pepsi, seven up, orange soda and apple soda), but you didn't like any of these options, you asked me for coca cola and diet coke, this is why I went and got different sodas than what I had on the vehicle. I honestly think that I can drive, but I will ask some of my coworkers about it. Thank you Shari
Jesús was fantastic ! He knew so much about the history of the place. Let us stop wherever we wanted to and took as much time as we needed. He brought drinks. Highly recommend him.
Good as advertised. Driver was friendly, knowledgeable and polite. Driver could have explained more history or fun facts of the city.
Mazatlan Van Tours was conveniently fun, easy, personalized and an excellent choice for seeing and experiencing the city, the culture and the fun spots without being “cattled” around! Small group with Benjy was perfect! Frank and David keep it well organized and trusted!!!
Very pleasant and the guide vey knowledgeable would recommend it to anyone looking for a well rounded tour
We took the tour on a cruise stop and had an amazing experience. Eduardo was a fantastic guide who was knowledgeable and friendly. He genuinely loved his town and made a great effort to show us his favorite spots. He was very attentive throughout the tour, checking on everyone, offering cold drinks and taking (even printing) photos for us. We really enjoyed visiting Mazatlan!
I love how David checked in with me the day before to remind me where to meet. Once we got there, it was really nice that someone else showed us where he was. After that David took care of the whole group and made sure we were happy and comfortable the entire tour. We got to see the driveable sights of Mazatlan and had plenty of time to take pictures and wander around. David made sure we had water and even cocktails to drink. He always made sure we were good. Thank you David for the awesome experience!
