Great experience in Zihuatanejo - booked a city tour with Ketavi Tours because I thought a tour of the area on our first day in Zihuatanejo would give us a good overview of the area so we could explore on our own for the rest of our visit. If you ever get out this way, I highly recommend Ketavi tours. Our driver/tour guide Ulisis was excellent. His English was very good and you could tell he took great pride in his community, his country, his vehicles, and his business. He took us to the four beaches in Zihuatanejo, La Ropa, Madera, Las Gatas, and Downtown beach. We walked along the malecon, had coffee and juice at a local restaurant, tasted some great tequila, visited the artisan market, and the mirador. After that we headed over to Ixtapa and took in the fancy hotels, the Zocolo, an artissn market, the town marina, and a crocodile farm. Zihuat and Ixtapa are very different from each other. Zihuatanejo is more authentically Mexican, while Ixtapa is pricier, glitzier and more manicured. Both are beautiful. Ulysis is a wonderful tour guide and he also offers many different tours to the region. He also provides taxi service around town as well as airport transfers. I highly recommend Ketavi Tours.

Excellent tour! - We were picked up at our hotel and enjoyed a 3 hour tour of the cities including the beaches and the really cool crocodile habitat. Benjamin, our guide was knowledgeable, pleasant and patient with us as my husband has mobility issues. Highly recommend.

Family Trip to Ixtapa with Ketavy Tours - Our trip to Iztapa was a very nice, positive and unique experience. Ulises, the one you see in the first photo, works for Taby Tours as his company. He provided us with a very safe transportation service. I recommend it to everyone. A very nice detail of him going to the store the day before and. He bought us everything we asked for. By text and he was waiting for us with the best and very cold drinks at the airport. He went 3 times to pick up different trips to take us from the hotel to the airport back and there was never a question, nor did he ask for tips, or anything, his service, safety and kindness made us feel very nice and with great gratitude, we gave him his good tip . Since it is well deserved, if you travel to Iztapa, look for it in that tabiturs, we recommend it again, very safe for traveling and a nice experience. Thanks Ulysses good luck

Airport Transfer and Zihua Trip - We used Ketavi for airport transfers and day trip to Zihua. Ulises is an amazing person and wonderful guide. His staff are top notch. Our trip was supposed to be 4 hours but ended up almost closer to 6 because he made sure we saw everything we wanted and then showed us some of his favorites. Ate lunch at Playa La Ropa at a restaurant called La Perla, great margaritas. Vehicles were perfect for our family of 2 adults and 4 kids with AC, refreshments and fresh towels. I would book a trip with them again without hesitation. Thank you to all at Ketavi!
