5.00Francisco was our guide and it was like taking g a tour with a good friend. I had requested to see specific points of interest in Zihua and he was most accommodating and very informative. He knows the area and history well. Great recommendations on restaurants. We had lunch at Bandidos to wrap up our tour- fresh seafood and guacamole. Check them out. Would highly recommend this private tour in an air conditioned van versus a generic bus tour Thank you so much Francisco. We hope to see you again!

5.00Pablo is the best! This is not some local guy with a car. This is a highly professional, scripted private tour in an air conditioned mini van, customized to any preferences you might have. It hits all the highlights and areas of interest in Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo, giving you an excellent overview of the beaches, the restaurants, the hotels, the stores and markets, and just the lay of the land in general. Incredibly thorough, even including historical background. You also have the benefit of asking a local anything and everything. I can’t imagine a better way to get to know all the attractions and areas in Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo.
Best Private tour!

5.00Luis was amazing! He was bilingual perfect for our family. He was very informative being a local and offered us suggestions to various restaurants and activities to check out throughout Ixtapa and Zihua. I would definitely recommend the private tour as we went at our pace.

5.00Francisco was an excellent guide showing us the diverse landscapes and culture of the ixtapa/Zihuatanejo Region. We enjoyed the Zihuatanejo portion of the tour the most - seeing the old marketplace, and eating some great food.

5.00What a great day! Francisco was amazing, so knowledgeable about the history of Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo! My wife is disabled and uses a wheelchair and not only did he show her respect and compassion, but made sure to park close to sidewalk cuts and attractions so she could see without having to get out (it was so hot and the a/c was a godsend). We traveled with our 19 year old son and 75 year old mother. Everyone had a blast and we would hire Luis and his company again, no problem!
Very friendly and in...

5.00There are not enough words to say what a blessing Luis is and the beautiful impact he had on our girls friends trip. As a first time traveler to Mexico, Luis and his tour gave us a sample of the culture and ideas for where we wanted to spend the rest of our trip. Luis is born and raised in the area and is a natural born tour guide. He has great information and gave us facts, tips and tricks along the way. We saw many beautiful ocean views in Ixtapa and the beautiful wildlife that resides in the area. The Zihuatanejo portion of the tour was filled with fun at the farmers market, food to try to make our mouths and belly’s happy, and a trip to a local jewelry store where anyone is able to find a beautiful price of wearable art! I highly recommend Luis for any of his listed services as we also experienced the Sea Turtle excursion that was beyond our wildest dreams! Luis is a genuine, salt of the earth man who we all now love and consider familia.
