Mazatlan Highlights with LunchApril 04, 2019
Reviewer: Lucy Hurlen
This was our first purchased shore excursion ever. Our guide was amazing. It was the last day of mardi gras and unfortunately the beach route was closed off for the parade. But, it didn't really matter as our guide picked up the slack and kept us informed along the way. Lunch was excellent. We thoroughly liked the "mix"... some sightseeing including a visit to the church and watching the divers, some shopping, lunch, etc. We would certainly do this one again!!

Juan Jose Hernandez, local, genuine, concerned and just flat out amazing. Rarely do you get this level of knowledge and genuine interest from a guide. Juan, knew it all, made it easy to understand and shared some of the most interesting elements of Mazatlan with us. He even bought us snacks to share from a market so authentic that I almost tried cow's tongue. GO to Mazatlan and see the real Mexico and an interesting mix of traditional and new culture, have a great time. Would definitely go again and visit with Van Tours at the lead...

The tour showed us all over Mazatlan and the guide was interesting and courteous. In all honesty, there was not much to see and, as it rained, the market was disgusting. The sewers were overflowing and the smell was dreadful. We were a little disappointed with the diver as it was a bit of a non-event. The restaurant for lunch was a good choice - right on the beach and typically Mexican and the food was good.

This excursion had a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable and personable. We enjoyed all the sites and enjoyed our guide. The lunch spot was right on the beach and the food was good. The cliff divers were a highlite. Entire tour with lunch was a great bargain. I would do this tour again.

We had so much fun with David S. as our tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and funny. The ladies sure enjoyed his great smile and personality. Oh, the tour was full of great things to do. I recommend this tour if you want to see a bit of everything including time at the beach.
