Brian_L, Feb 2026
We were very pleased with the driver ansd guide. Very knowledgeable of the area and understandable. Felt safe and comfortable

Excellent way to tour Mazatlán

Karen_H, Dec 2025
A great option to see city highlights in a comfortable, air conditioned van with stops along the way. Our knowledgeable and professional driver/guide Humberto told us about local culture as we made our way from the cruise port to watch cliff divers, tour a cathedral, shop a market area as well as upscale stores. He recommended a spot to have lunch and catered the agenda to our needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour as a way to capture Mazatlán in a few hours.

Great tour!

Having time to walk around & take pictures at the lookout, stopped at 4 different places. Saw the cliff divers. Driver was funny told interesting stories, was informed.

need to have a better system in findingthe excort

GEORGETTEKMK_L, Jun 2024
was not happy with the way we had to find our escort the said the would be a the cruise port but where they did not have a sign with our name on it so we could see them had to go outside of the port but no one knew anything and then they said go inside and someone there finally found our escort . our driver glenn was excellent he had water and drinks for us complimenty and enjoy his tour

Perfect Mazatlán tour!

Janet_F, Mar 2024
José is a great tour guide! When he arrived he questioned us on what kind of tour we were looking for. As we had never been to Mazatlán, we explained we’d like a view of all the highlights we’d heard and read about. He spent the next 3+ hours driving and explaining areas all over Mazatlán. Several times stopping so we could take pictures and do a little exploring. It was exactly what we had hoped for.

Benjamin made the whole...

Kevin_S, Jan 2024
Benjamin made the whole excursion. One of the best excursions we have had the pleasure of taking. He took us to places that interested everyone.

Great Tour

Shaina_C, May 2023
This was fun. We had a great time and had a great host. He was funny and entertaining and he gave us a lot of insight on Mazatlan. We had a blast.

Fabulous

DUSTY_S, Apr 2023
Victor our guide was fabulous. He explained about every place we went too. He took us to this great little restaurant on the beach..Fabulous and very reasonable. We had time for Cathedral and shopping. Plenty of pictures everywhere. Thank you Viator.. but most importantly..Thank You Victor. Dusty and family

Lovely

Andrea_B, Mar 2023
Right out or we call him Bert was very good and very informative. The only thing I really did not like where the stops that he made. For instance, we didn’t have much time at the church and the shopping area we were hoping we could go into the golden zone. It was fun though and had a great time

Too long for what we did.

Deborah_S, Feb 2023
Gabriel was a real good guide. He was very friendly and helpful when asked questions. He seemed to like his work. Very pleasant. I enjoyed seeing the older parts of town that was very historic. We didn't really care for the restaurant we stopped at for lunch. We had much better lunches at Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallerta. We enjoyed seeing the divers. Too much history about all the statues.

Great tour saw all of...

Very good tour of mazatlan

Excellent tour guide. Very friendly and efficient. He took great care of all of us during the day and gave us really good info concerning the area

This one sucked

Robb_G, Jan 2023
The driver thought he was a comedian (he wasn’t). Driver also drove herky-jerky. First stop- a place with 3 vendors (buddies?). Didn’t stop at Beatles statue despite request. We jumped off at the next stop. Total waste of time and money.

A great tour of both old and new Mazatlan with Eduardo, a congenial and knowledgeable guide.

Michael_L, Dec 2022
Many memorable stops for pictures and an excellent narration of sites visited. A comfortable van with complimentary drinks.

Thank you

Art_I, Nov 2022

Friendly people greeting us. Our driver knowledgeable, fun and was flexible with wgat we wanted. Great tour and long enough to get overall view.

Our guide was sooo...

Jessica_D, Apr 2022
Our guide was sooo knowledgeable and super friendly. Our 4 young kids actually enjoyed the tour which we didn’t expect. Wish the shopping was a little longer but loved it all.

Nice value

WILLIAM_S, Mar 2022
Nice little sightseeing and shopping tour at a most reasonable price. Better bargain than tours on the cruise ships, and they are very conscious about getting you back to the ship on time.

Raul is awesome

LOGAN_F, Nov 2021
Raul was awesome. Pros: comfortable ride, great driver, easy, knowledgeable. Cons: not too much interaction with the area, mostly a van ride.

Great tour

Kenneth_B, Jun 2021
Very good experience with Victor. I feel like we really got to see all of mazatlan. Victor was very knowledgeable, personable and a really funny guy. 100% recommend this tour when in mazatlan

Wonderful!

Tim_S, Apr 2021
Very informative, we liked Smiley! He was very accommodating. We would do it again if we were going to be here longer.

Nice Experience

Carla_T, Apr 2021
Thank you Smiley. I learned a lot about Mazatlan and you were very kind and accommodating. Clean and comfortable van.

Wonderful

Erin_A, Sep 2020
Our tour was amazing! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. It was a pretty rainy day but he was a good sport and took us everywhere on the list and even got out and took pictures of us.

Enjoyable Tour

Flintstone168, Dec 2019
Our tour guide, Roberto, was professional and knowledgeable. He took us to the points of interest in a timely manner, with the last day of the festival celebration causing road closures. The shopping point was just adequate with not a lot of time wasted as other tours experienced. The most enjoyable part was at lunch where performance of "Dancing Horses". Totally recommend this tour.

Lovely day

Jane_L, Nov 2019
Lovely day, driver (Victor) was very accommodating, informative and friendly. Tour accommodated my mum who has mobility issues, lovely day

Wonderful

Marilyn_S, Oct 2018
We had a great time with are driver. Jose number one. He told us a lot about Mazatlan we had a great time going through the town and even shopping. Anybody would love Jose number one being their drivers. He needs a raise. Real great man thank you for the tour and shopping experience.

Patti P, Jan 2018
Arrived in cruise port and took this tour with Ramon. EXCELLENT. We saw so much: marina, lighthouse, lookout/views, stopped at plaza/cathedral area, exclusive gated community with many fabulous Christmas decorations, drove along the extensive beach area, stopped for drinks/snacks/shopping in the touristy area.
