Alot of bang for the buck - The tour guide was EXCELLENT. The tour was flexible to the interests of your group. Your enjoyment and comfort was his priority.. Comprehensive introduction to Mazatlan in the imited amount of time afforded Cruise passengers. Highly recommend.

Exceptional mazatlan excursion with Moses - Traveled around an open air 4 seat vehicle. Might not be best option if very hot or rainy. Moses was very good.

Moises was Excellent - Moises (Moses) met us outside the cruise port with our name clearly written on bright green cardboard. Very fluent in English and pleasant. He showed us around several key sights, explained the history and arranged for a wonderful afternoon at a local hotel with beach and pool privileges. As well as bar and food services for a fee. Very reasonable pricing.. He had us back to the ship right on schedule, no worries. He’s very proud of his city.

Family friendly excursion of Mazatlan - Had a great time on this excursion. Family, 8 adults and 1 child. Rode in the back of a red pickup truck with benches facing inward and awning over the top. Room for 8 of us and a stroller. Gil was our driver and guide, spoke English, very friendly and accommodating. We saw/stopped at all the sites listed on the excursion. Felt very safe riding on the vehicle Gil offered us an alternate resort to stop at, which worked out great for us. Either resort has pools, beach access and food/beverages to purchase.

Great experience. Well worth it for the price. - This was a great excursion. Picked up a smooth thanks to great directions. Our host was readily available to us. He was even conscious of our time and made sure we were back with no issues in returning on our cruise ship. He gave us a choice of going to the beach club or doing a resort pass at a hotel that was close to the pier. This proved to be a great option. I wish we knew this in advance so we wouldn’t have brought beach towels.

A lovely taste of Mazatlan - Our cruise was delayed disembarking, but I called and they were more than understanding and patient. Alberto was our tour guide. We rode around in a 4 person golf-style cart and met up with a couple at several stops who was in another cart. Alberto was fun and funny with a nice touch of kindness and personable. He was like having a family member. The tour is a good way to get an encompassing taste of Mazatlan's history and beauty within 5 hours. The only negative was at the end, he told us he was taking us to the Marriott beach club (his opinion was the view is better). It was uncomfortable for me to have to bring it up that the tour included Shekinah. Then he said we'd have to pay but I had to explain it was part of the tour. He had to call his boss to see about getting it covered. With that said, he took care of it and even got the staff at Shekinah to get us a shaded beachside table at no additional cost. We loved Shekinah (food, drinks, pool, and beach view were lovely). I'd like to also note that the tequila tasting was very yummy and generous. I thought the prices were a bit high but the quality was definitely there. Overall, me and my family still highly recommend this excursion.

Great Time for Alll - We booked this last minute and they were able to accommodate our group of 12 people. Even though there was a holiday and the original hotel (Shekinah) would've taken longer (less time) they had an alternative at the Marriott, which was very relaxing and fun. The tour did not feel rushed and everyone was friendly, helpful and fun. Totally recommend!

Amazing day in Mazatlán! - Alberto was terrific! His knowledge about Mazatlan made the morning unforgettable and then the relaxing afternoon at the Marriott made it perfect. Alberto even came and picked us up early when my husband wasn’t feeling well. Highly recommend him to anyone wanting a great day!
