About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- patrickcY8494EC0 contributionsE-Bike TourAfter looking at cruise ship offerings, decided to go on the E-Bike tour. I have not been on a bike for 35+ years, but caught on immediately. The e-bikes are super fun, however the tour guide was a negative wet blanket. We went all over the area and saw the beautiful landscape, including the Cliff Divers, but we stopped constantly. When we did we were able to hear about all the issues when Western Civilization ruined the culture on each stop. A bit of a bummer on vacation…..Written February 11, 2025

- bobwalters130 contributionsDon't miss this tour, totally worth itTotally enjoyed the tour. Victor, our guide, was very pleasant, funny & informative. Would highly recommend this tour.Written February 10, 2025
- Yuvonne W0 contributionsFUN MAZATLAN CITY TOURJesus was an excellent tour guide! He provided a relaxed, educational fun experience! Van was on time and clean. I would recommend this city tour!! Don’t DO LUNCH! Do it on your own!Written February 10, 2025
- bebepineapple0 contributionsBest tour for cruise excursions and mobilityMy family and I booked a private tour and had Ricardo as our guide. My dad is in a wheelchair and it was my sister and I who accompanied him. We were on a cruise of the Mexican riviera so it was great to have the tour guides meet us at port. It sucks because cruises usually don’t have excursions that accommodate mobility, so we were pleasantly surprised the tour was able to have a big van for us. Ricardo was great because he was able to help my dad as well to see all the sights. One of the perks that my sister and I enjoyed were the drinks, beer and even tequila shots Ricardo provided! It was great seeing all the beautiful sights Mazatlán has to offer. The old and new. We were able to see the city setting up for the biggest carnivals event that would happen in less than a month. Can’t wait to come back! Thanks RicardoWritten February 4, 2025
- AnnieN4200 contributionsAwesome tour!We were picked up at our hotel and driven to the Villages. Wonderful tour and tour guide. We stopped at a few places and were able to checkout the local tile-maker and bakery. At the end we had a delicious lunch on the beach. Highly recommend this tour.Written January 30, 2025
- skysthelimit610 contributionsNot what we expectedOur tour bus was on time & the van was very nice & air conditioned. We really enjoyed the sights along the way. We especially enjoyed watching the cliff diver. We were not aware that we would be expected to pay extra to the cliff diver in order to see that. We thought we would drive up to the light house or close enough & then walk up to it but we only saw it from far away. We also thought we were going to stop somewhere & buy our own lunch but that didn’t happen. The shopping stop didn’t last long & was close to our hotel so we just walked back from there. We thought the tour was supposed to be 5 hours but it wasn’t even 3 hours. So all in all, it was an average tour.Written January 24, 2025

- Road046394910630 contributionsFun beach visitThe staff were friendly and did their best to make sure everything went smoothly. The short horseback ride was through the back streets, not on the beach and somewhat dangerous for an inexperienced rider. There was a special menu for the tour only and was more like a snack than a meal size portion. The banana boat ride was very fun. The beach vendors were relentless in trying to make a sale.Written January 4, 2025
- davidbG8960KJ0 contributionsThank you Melesio!Our driver, Melesio Q. , was wonderful. He was safe, courteous, knowledgeable, and had a good command of the English language. He was also sharp witted and humorous. We were able to see many interesting sites and also relax at a local beachfront hotel. Thank you Mazatlan Van Tours and Melesio for enhancing our vacation experience.Written December 29, 2024

In January husband and I along with three friends took a van tour of Mazatlan with JeanCarlo Jimenez and we all agreed it was the BEST day of our four days in the Mexican Riviera. The van was clean, comfortable, and well air conditioned and the price was a great value for the personalized tour. JeanCarlo was professional, personable, knowledgeable, and attentive to our every need. The sights we saw and the places we went were perfect for us. Thank you, JeanCarlo!

Had a great tour with Jorge Sanchez. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable and it showed that he definitely enjoyed his job. We opted not to take one of the excursions offered by our cruise ship and so glad we made that decision. Jorge was on the dock offering his service at a very reasonable price. And most importantly, no money exchanged hands until we returned safely to the dock. I would highly recommend this great tour - the highlight being the cliff divers!

This Mazatlan tour was terrific! Only 6 of us, including me & my husband. Van had nice air con which was crucial in the high humidity. Humberto was excellent! Very friendly and pleasant, and does a good job explaining and describing things. Made all of us laugh quite a few times. He even tried to help us get baseball game tickets!

A lot of time spent in a van. Traffic was heavy. Best part was seeing the cliff divers. Unfortunately we were in a van that everyone else had purchased the lunch and beach package of which we did not. Our driver was not aware of this fact. Jesus was our driver and he was gracious enough to take us back to the ship after dropping everyone else off for lunch. “Shopping” was stopping at different vendors on the side of the road. Did not spend much on this excursion…you get what you pay for.

We had a personal tour which we were able to design. I wanted to purchase vanilla and a bottle of Damiana. Cesar took us to the best stores and made sure we were treated like royalty. He was very informative and friendly. Really recommend this tour for first timers to Mazatlan.

We were on a 7-day cruise that included a stop in Mazatlán and decided to hire our own tour guide to show us the city. We walked outside the terminal and found Mazatlán Van Tours just outside. Our guide said he would show us the highlights of the city and he did just that. It was a wonderful tour and a great city. We had heard all the negative things about the city but we found it very inviting and beautiful. Our guide was very helpful in telling us the history of the city. We could have continued longer but we had to return to the ship. This service and guide is highly recommended. Our guide spoke very good English and was very personable.

We wandered off the cruise ship and what a pleasure to be gently offered the opportunity to go on this tour. No pressure to book, just think about it and let them know. Awesome. So, we thought about it and booked, joined up with a few others and away we went with Chewie. Great tour, and he pointed out so many highlights and knew the history. From the statues to the shopping break to the excellent stop at a beachfront restaurant (good food, drinks and no after effects, if you know what I mean).
For those arriving by a cruise ship, I would highly recommend you go ashore and find this business right in the heart of the arrival center. Then go enjoy the tour and relax, knowing you're in good hands. Bring some cash for some souvenirs and tipping the cliff divers. And then, finally, when you've enjoyed a few hours of this tour and get back, remember to tip the guide well as I'm sure they will have earned it.

We were picked up on schedule at our Resort and proceeded with our tour towards old Mazatlan. Everything we saw was what was told to us ahead of time by our Representatives. Our tour guide was Juan and he was so knowledgeable it was amazing. He had an answer for everything. Hopefully he wasn't just making it up. We had a nice lunch on the beach which was included had a tour of a silver store as well as some free time to walk downtown. I think the most interesting part was probably the cliff divers.

Jesus Valdez was a great tour guide! He gave good commentary on the sights we visited, and was patient with the elderly and disabled people that were in our group. I will be revisiting Mazatlan soon!

We have 26 people coming as a group and are interested in this tour. How many people are in a van and do you give group discounts?

We would like to visit the Golden Zone in Mazatlan for at least an hour . We will be arriving on January 9, 2019 on Holland America Eurodam. The 5 hour city tour would be a good choice for us?
Written November 20, 2018
Yes, it gives you the most basic information about the city and also a chance to shop, 1 hour, which is sufficient to do most any shopping you would want.
Great tour.
Written November 21, 2018
It is about 2 hours. From our hotel, we went approximately 30 min. and then had an hour to walk through the city and so shopping and sightseeing on foot for an hour and then finished the last half of the tour.
The tour was well worth the time, money and we enjoyed the young lady who was our guide. She gave good information and took time to answer questions from those of us on the bus.
