Acapulco Trip 2024
My husband and I were looking for something fun and interesting to do during our stay and honestly within minutes we had booked our experience through Getyourguide. It was so quick and simple. The next morning, Alex picked us up at our hotel bright and early with a smile. We had so much fun! We were beyond excited going from one place to the next. It was literally the perfect day. He was extremely knowledgeable, had a great positive attitude, and you really can’t beat the price to do all of these awesome activities together! I’m sure we will be back one day and we hope Alex is still doing his thing!

Terrible! Hurt horses
Terrible!! The exploitation of the poor horses in the sun, heat, salt of the sea, leaving excrement on the beaches (their owners do not clean) their hurt skin, with injuries that generate them the saddles (they did not let me take photos) really let us have conscience, common sense!!! Let people get to work instead of exploiting animals and visitors not teach our children and family to have fun at the cost of suffering other living things!!! Not worth it!!! The app does not allow you to upload photos you take, but hopefully it will raise awareness

Acapulco Dreams
From the moment I was looking for a vacation for my family The communication was there and quickly. I love the I didn't have to plan anything. This tour company plans everything for you. They even pick you up anywhere in Acapulco like they picked us up in our Airbnb right on time. The value is very good for everything you get. The memories were unforgettable. I will always choose this company when I want my family to have a vacation in Acapulco. I want to say thank you to Jose he always answered any questions that I had he always assured me that anything was going to be taken care of. Especially at the end he sent me a beautiful video of all the pictures all the memories and that matters a lot to me thank you Jose.

Beach Horse ride
Good communication with a punctual pick up. Driving to the destination our very cheerful driver Jose bestowed upon us his excellent knowledge in english pointing out land marks and history locations enhancing the overall experience. The horseride was a very enjoyable, relaxing time in the remote location with a wonderful horse handler. The boat ride around the lagoon was majestic with an abundence of wildlife. The overall experience i highly recommend if you would like to get away from the hustle and bustle of Acupulco during your stay

A wonderful day with rescued animals!
This was a wonderful tour. Lupita is a lovely local lady with much knowledge and I felt safe, secure and welcome. If you have a love for animals and want to hear about their well being, do this tour! The only thing I regret was not taking more pesos as I didn't have enough to tip the last visit.
