One of the highlights of this tour is the opportunity to visit Plaza Alvarez, where you can immerse yourself in the local culture. From bustling markets to traditional piñata workshops, the city offers a rich tapestry of experiences. As you navigate through the streets, the moderate winds and high UV index remind you to stay hydrated and protected from the sun. A recent review from April 2023 captures the essence of this tour:
Comprehensive tour of Acapulco! - While this was a ‘tailor-made Tour’ it actually turned out to be a very proud guide showing us as much of Acapulco as possible in the time allotted. Michael meet us at the cruise terminal with a clearly marked sign. Off to a very nice air-conditioned van with comfortable seats. We thought we would look at a list of sites and choose which ones to go visit. Instead, Michael whisked us off and away we went seeing so much of Acapulco. We made all the highlights and some we would have never known about. He explained why he felt the city was safe for tourists, what the Mexican President was doing to make the city safe and pointed out how clean it was. We saw so much! At the conclusion, we opted out of the divers and went to a great spot to have a beer and some apps. He stayed close to offer any interpretations needed and even to make sure we got great service. I would definitely use Michael again the next time we visit Acapulco. Very friendly, very professional and very willing to assist us seeing his city!
