Wonderful tour! - After a day in Zihuatanejo my friend and I thought it would be a good idea to take this tour to get familiarized with the area. She had been to Ixtapa many years ago and wanted to see how it had changed. We booked the tour and had Pablo as our guide. We were so pleased with the entire morning and it gave us a great overview of the area. Pablo was a great tour guide, spoke excellent English, answered all our questions and gave us such interesting facts about both cities and the history. Best thing we did!

Wonderful way to see the area! - Paco was amazing - we loved the experience! My husband and I had our own private tour. Paco was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the best spots to visits. We especially appreciated seeing the local wildlife and the beautiful beach at Ixtapa. We would definitely recommend this tour, especially as an introduction to the area toward the beginning of your trip.

Don’t miss out! - If you want to learn about the Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo area, book this tour! Pablo met us at our hotel and proceeded to drive us through town. On the way, he explained where we were and throughly went over the area’s history. We went to Hotel Area 2 in Ixtapa, the Marina, drove through residential areas, Madera beach, Playa Linda, the markets in Zihua, its hotel area… he took us everywhere! All throughout he kept telling us about each area’s rich and interesting history. Pablo is friendly, interesting and extremely knowledgeable. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very enjoyable. - Guide was very knowledgeable. Tour accommodated an earlier start because we were in port a short time. Only thing was description mentioned water provided. But none was. If we had known, we would have brought some. But overall it was a wonderful private tour. Thank you!

Great tour with a great guide! - Our tourguide was Paco, and he is great. His English (and Spanish) are very good and he takes pride in the Zihua/Ixtapa area. He accommodated us for our special stop requests, and took us to the best spots. For other places we were interested in, he told us in detail how to get to them, and what to expect.

Interesting and very informative. - We loved the history lessons about each area we passed through and we especially loved the animal refuge at Playa Linda. We thought water was included on the tour. We did have our own water but ran out part way through our journey and there wasn’t any on hand. It’s just a little thing but it might be something to think about providing. It was a lovely tour and helped us get the lay of the land.
