Be cognizant if there are any special event occurring, when you want to schedule your activity. We originally scheduled for a Friday tour but our tour operator asked if we could change it to Friday, as Bike Week was happening and motorcycle events could interfere with our route access.. We had the flexibility and agreed to change.
When we were picked up, we were shocked to see that we would be touring in a small sedan. There was already an elderly couple in the front and middle seat, and our guide offered up the rear seat and the remaining middle seat for my wife and myself. I am 70 years old and had full knee replacement recently, and my wife had her hip replaced. We were expecting to tour in a full size van or minivan. The rear seat had approximately 4" of leg room. The rear seat is sized for a small child but definitely not an adult. Between the other gentleman and myself, we made the best of a bad situation. Definitely not comfortable at all and as I sat across the rear seat, I was unable to even fasten my seatbelt. It was also very awkward to try and manipulate our bodies to climb in and out of the rear seat.
Gloria, our guide, was very good and apologized for the seating situation. Nonetheless, it was a challenge to enjoy the tour, given the ergonomic deficiencies.

Hello Daniel, thank you for the flexibility to change your tour from Saturday to Friday.
Saturday roads at the old town were closed.
About the vehicle, we provide a 5 passengers SUV for a 4 passenger city tour.
On the first tour stop, 15 minutes away from tour hotel, your tour guide Gloria, arranged with the other couple so you could seat on the front seat, actually, when you got back to the vehicle from the first stop, the other couple were already on the back seat, but you refused to be on the front, you told Gloria you wanted to be on the back seat, again, and you were on the back seat the rest of the tour.
We apologize if the car was not not what you expected, but we provided a confortable seat for your tour, but you refused to use it.

It was a very informative tour. We were not able to get out and walk about much due to the motorcycle rally. That was very disappointing. Gloria was full of knowledge of the history of Mazatlan.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hello Colleen, thank you for your review.
We tried to do our best with the limitations that the bike week had.
Olas Altas area was closed, and had to go around.
But old town, look out point and Golden zone were available.
Thank you.

Overall it was good, the vehicle was air conditioned and Uriel the driver/guide was really nice and provided lots of history. I didnât care for the cliff divers, they took too long to jump (just to gather money); donations are optional but they keep insisting for donations.
PaigeP, Apr 2026
The experience sounded so great and ended up terrible. Our tour guide never showed up. He put us with a different company. Then that companies van broke down. They put us in a taxi. The taxi was crammed. There were no beverages as promised. The taxi driver was very nice, but certainly not a tour guide.
When we got to the cliff, no one was diving. We were told we had to pay $30 to watch 1 dive. We knew we were going to pay gratuity to the divers and we were prepared for that. But we had no idea we would watch one dive and weâre demanded $30 before the guy would dive.
I contacted Viator for a refund. I told them all the details and they refused to even give us a credit on our account. I donât know that will ever use Viator again. They did not stand behind their tour and they did not treat us well.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hello Page, we contacted you 2 days and one day before the tour so you could join us on an eaelier tour but we did not get a response, because of this, all our shared vehicles departed 3 hours before you showed up, and left on site one of our tour guides for you. we actually provided a private tour guide on a small vehicle for 6 passengers, you were a group of four.
Since you started the tour at noon, all our shared tour vehicles had already left and cliff divers area was empty when you got there. Divers do diving for a living, they usually wait for about 20 minutes so more tourist vehicles stop on the area so they dive and then collect tips, if no more vehicles stop, they might ask tourist from one vehicle a fixed amount for the diving, we can not control they way they work.
The vehicle is late model and we provided beverages, soda, water and beer.
Page, we provided the tour, cover all the itinerary, look out point, cliff divers, cathedral and Mexican open market and Golden zone on a private vehicle with a tour guide and beverages on board and we did not ever treat you bad, this is why we can not provide a refund.
We apologize for the miscommunication that we had with you, but we tried phone calls, text messages and emails prior the tour with no success.

Coordination in the cruise terminal was easy but the tour wasn't anything special. We shared a 12 passenger van with another family. We saw sites but out guide was not knowledgeable about the City nor did he even talk that much on the trip. Loves seeing the City but didn't learn much that I was hoping for. The cool margarita mid ride and cold beers in the van were appreciated. But even our kids were unimpressed.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hello mc_k, this is David Maciel, I tried to find your name on my booking system with your initials, but couldn't find it. I know you were with me personally because of the margaritas on the vehicle.
I apologize for not covering your expectations on my tour, I always try to cover and share the most important facts and information about MazatlĂĄn on the short period of time I have with travelers while on my vehicle and places to visit.
Thank you for your review, this notifies me that I should do better on briefings.
We apologize because you trusted pur company but not getting enough.
I hope the rest of your trip was better.
Nycole_B, Mar 2026
Friendly, timely and organized. Tour guide provided ample time for exploration. MazatlĂĄn is a large city and worth the visit.
lisa_t, Mar 2026
Went very smoothly. Good tour for the money. Not crazy about the restaurant choice but it was all very convenient
GyulaAttila_B, Mar 2026
A quick and somewhat superficial visit of the downtown followed by free time in a seaside hotel. For the price it's ok as a short excursion to get off the cruise
Robin_T, Mar 2026
This is a great tour and excellent value. The tour guide provided good information about Mazatlan and did not rush anyone. Great deal as one-way taxi fare to Golden Zone from cruuse port is $20 US.
John_C, Mar 2026
Enjoyed this Mazatlan tour! Our guide David was friendly, knowledgeable and safely showed us around the city.
Margie_G, Mar 2026
David is very knowledgeable and a great guide! We learned about the history and culture of Mazatlan and saw many amazing sights! Highly recommended!
Rita_P, Mar 2026
Everything was great! David was a great tour guide had a cooler of drinks and water available, small group in a van (not a big bus) loved the beach stop!
Highly recommend this Tour! Picked up and dropped off at the cruise port, very reasonable price đ
My friends and I had a great time!

Gloria was an amazing guide. She was informative, kind, and helpful.
It was like having a local friend take you around her city. We saw
many sights, and I learned about the city and its history. Very good tour.
Dean_R, Feb 2026
02/25/26. The tour lived up to our expectations. When exiting the ship you must board a tram for a short ride to the terminal. The tour guide will be waiting just outside the terminal in the open area where there are shops. Our tour guide David Maciel did an excellent job!
Emmett_R, Feb 2026
David spoke excellent English and was very informative about all of the sites and points of interest that he took us to. His van was clean, cool and comfortable. I appreciated his kind demeanor.
RobertaL, Feb 2026
Nice way to see highlights of the city in comfort of an air conditioned van with a small group and great tour guide. David was excellent.
Antonio_G, Feb 2026
Great experience. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat. We had Jesus as our guide and he was great. We had people in our group that needed the tour in English and others in Spanish, he did a great job guiding the tour in both languages. He also helped us find items that we were shopping for, taking us to the stores where he knew would have what we needed. From pick up to drop off this tour was amazing! We will be back and we will be booking this tour again. Thank you Jesus for a great tour.
Ron_C, Feb 2026
It was a good day! David was our tour guide and he was fantastic. We enjoyed learning about Mazatlan

This was a very comprehensive City experience around mazatlan. We thoroughly enjoyed being taken up for great views and also getting to see the cliff diver. Jesus was a great guide and provided lots of cold drinks for us.
