Humberto was awesome! We rode in a pulmonia which was a fun added touch. He took us to all the main sites and took photos using our phones. Waters and sodas included to keep you refreshed in the hot sun. The hotel at the end with beach access was pure paradise and a relaxing end to the tour. Highly recommend this tour!
Gil was an amazing and friendly tour guide. Took us to all the best stops, answered all questions and ended our day at the beach club! Perfect day would definitely do this again!
What a perfect way to spend a port day in Mazatlan! Moises was an excellent tour guide, showing us all the highlights of the town and all the history. Topped the day off with a relaxing beach club day by the ocean. Moises made sure we were back to the boat on time. Awesome experience!
We had a great time on our city tour, tequila tasting, and beach club excursion. Gil was our tour guide and he was efficient, friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were all comfortable and enjoying ourselves. He provided cold drinks for us all throughout the tour. The morning of the tour, he texted me his exact location so we knew where to meet him after getting off our cruise ship. I feel like we got to see the highlights of Mazatlan and then enjoyed relaxing at the Marriott beach club. The infinity pool was perfect, overlooking the beach, and the food was delicious. I definitely recommend this excursion to others who want to see the city, do a little shopping, and then relax at the beach/pool.
Our guide Gil, took us to quite a few places that are a must see when you come to Mazatlan. Amazing history, beautiful places and we were even able to see cliff divers. He was very accommodating, giving us time to explore and offering cold drinks. At the end of the tour for the beach club, he suggested another location that he advised would be better, and it definitely was. . He even took my husband back early and came back and waited for us. Great tour, excellent guide!!
We absolutely loved our experience with Gil! We were a group of 10, with ages ranging from 2 to 72 and this was our favorite part of our cruise. We had a lovely tour around the city, stopping at various landmarks. Gil was incredibly hospitable, providing advice about local shopping and provided a cooler full of water and soda. We stopped at the cathedral, did some shopping at the markets, and then went to a resort to swim around. All of us (including my elderly parents) would definitely go back.
Gustavo was really great! We had 2 adults and 6 kids from teenager down to a baby. He catered the tour to us. We loved the cathedral. Then we had a great time swimming at the Marriott and playing on the beach. Great excursion for families! We were back to the cruise terminal in plenty of time.
Eduardo is the most amazing tour guide ever with the most sparkling personality!! He comes highly recommended from Jared, Josh, and everyone else in our group. My cell phone fell out of my pocket in the van. He turned around and brought it back to me when he was almost home. We had a great time on this tour.
Very fun and energetic tour with some great stops! Our guide was very flexible with our plans and gave the whole family a fun day!
Chino was a great host. He accommodated us and stopped when we wanted to, to take pictures. The cold beers were a real bonus. We had so much fun.
