    first off, they went to...
    melissa_h, Apr 2024
    first off, they went to confirm our tour and the tour was booked for the correct time of 10am and they pushed the group to 3pm, which was very undfortunate. they did nothing to rectify the problem, saying thats how it showed up in their system. then they show up to pick guests up 25 minutes late. very awful experience.
    Mazatlan tour overview
    Virgil_S, Apr 2024
    We were picked up at our hotel in north Mazatlan. Our tour guide Eric took us to four or five different parts of the old town including the marketplace and the observatory where he provided us with a history of the various areas as we walked around. He allowed time for wandering around each of the places we visited. The observatory tour included the incline transport and visit to a bird sanctuary and iguana sanctuary up by the observatory. We gave him a good gratuity for him to share with the van driver.
    Great tour that hits all the highlights
    Thomas_V, Feb 2024
    This was a great tour of Mazatlan. A van took us around to various interesting parts of the city, and then we'd hop out and walk the streets. It was a hot day (even in February!) so we appreciated the bottled water. Good coverage of the main hotspots (Malecon, cliff divers, old town, cathedral, market). The highlight (at the end) was definitely the Observatory. It's a pretty building on spectacular grounds. Well worth it if you are in Mazatlan!
    Learning about Mazatlan
    Steve_G, Feb 2024
    Our guide, Raul, was amazing. Easily guiding us from one event to the other. The historical insights along with the variety of things we saw left us happy and fulfilled. And doing this tour early during our vacation helped us decide on even more adventures. Great company, tour and guides. Highly recommend this tour.
    Somewhat Ok
    John_H, Feb 2024
    The observatory was the only place we had not visited. The rest we had done previously during our walks but did not realize it. The observatory was interesting.
    Such a great experience!
    Andrea, Feb 2024
    Great tour around the city and then the observatory was amazing! Naomi and Raul were awesome. We especially loved our interactions with the birds, it made our day. Thank you!!
    Great tour guide.

    The history, views, and total experiences. Easy to book. Having to write more is annoying. Cost was a bit much.
    A Wonderful City & Observatory Tour with Great Information and Awesome Views!
    Lynn_W, Sep 2023
    We were so happy that we booked with All Over Mazatlan. We needed to switch the times for both of our tours with them and they were very accommodating. It was very easy to get in touch with them. We very much appreciated the hotel pickup! Our guide, Raul, was wonderful. We told him what we had seen on an earlier tour and he switched things up a bit so that we could see some different things throughout the city. Raul had a lot of interesting tidbits to share at each stop. The observatory and bird sanctuary were awesome too! The views were amazing and Raul made sure we got our money’s worth. He shared lots of history and interesting facts as he led the way. He was always ready to take photos for us without hesitation. This was a great last-day tour in Mazatlan because we got a great view of the city with a wonderful lasting impression! Our driver, Ramone, was nice too! It was nice to have an air conditioned van with cold water always available. After the tour, he and Raul offered to drop us off at a restaurant, and that saved us the cost of a pulmonia ride! We loved everything about this tour and highly recommend it!
    Wonderful city tour
    Diane_L, Mar 2023
    Wonderful city and observatory tour. Raul was awesome. The cliff divers, the Beatles and exploring the observatory was well worth the money. Highly recommend.
    Beauty, history and culture. Wonderful.
    Tashonda_B, Mar 2023
    This was an absolutely wonderful introduction to Mazatlan! Arturo was patient and informative, and our driver Miguel was kind enough to make an additional run just for us to insure we make it to the ship just in the nick of time!
    Frustrating Waste of Time & Money for Cruise Ship Passengers
    Cari_P, Mar 2023
    Paid in full for experience and only then was notified that I must contact the local provider (in Mexico) to confirm pickup time day before. Tough to do from cruise ship! Besides this, the phone number supplied never went through, tried 3 different phones. Lacking any other instructions, we were at the designated pickup point half an hour before the time printed on the ticket. Nothing! Waited an hour and 15 minutes - standing with three other people who were on our tour. Kept calling local provider, but no luck. Looked up the tour operator website. Different number! Called and were rudely told the pickup time as 9 AM, not 10 AM, so it was our fault we missed them. They finally came back to fetch the five of us at 11:30 and said we would get a shortened tour. Naomi was sweet, but not much of a guide, only pointed out things we could see for ourselves. No history or culture of Mazatlan. The bird Observatory was the high point and we wandered around by ourselves as she instructed. Cost for Observatory entrance if we went on our own was $20 US (seniors) but this booking cost us $67 each. Very unsatisfied with operator! Take a taxi to the Observatory and save your money.
    An absolute must to visit...
    Tarja_B, Mar 2023
    An absolute must to visit while in Mazatlán. The views are amazing. There is also a small aviary, including stunning peacocks, 170 iguanas of variety and cute turtles. Great half day trip for adults and children alike. Thank you to Naomi, my amazing guide, for the insights.
    Great tour and guide!
    Ashley_S, Feb 2023
    Great tour ! Eric was great he was very accommodating to what the group expected! The observatorio was phenomenal I would like to go for dinner there.
    A Must! Well worth it
    Kimberly_F, Feb 2023
    Our tour guide Naomi was wonderful. The views were spectacular, and you got to learn some historical facts if Mazatlan.
    Informative and enjoyable tour
    lgkcpa79, Jan 2023

    Response from Host, Jan 2023

    the tour was wonderful...
    Darren_L, Jan 2023
    the tour was wonderful and learned alot about the history of Mexico! the experience was good but make sure you have a good breakfast before heading out as there are no snacks provided.
    Response from Host, Jan 2023
    Thanks Darren for your feedback and review. In deed as it is described in our tour description this tour doesn't include snacks, but a free cool drink at Sky Bar in Observatory!
    Observatory & Tacos Jimmy
    Janet_D, Dec 2022
    Observatory was amazing, great views and gorgeous facilities. Driving tour was average. Tour guide didn’t share much information and really needed a speaker as she was hard to hear while driving around. They did recommend to us & even dropped us off at a great lunch spot for authentic tacos, all for $27 dollars for 5 of us - Tacos Jimmy!
    Great tour!
    Jennifer_H, Nov 2022
    The tour was fun and interesting for the whole family! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and energetic. We had a great time!
    Response from Host, Nov 2022
    Dear Jennifer Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us. I am very pleased to hear that our staff made your tour pleasant. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
    Great experience once the directions to pick up is clear
    Sabrina_B, Oct 2022
    In the beginning I was worried as the many tour people there had never heard of them but once it was closer to the pick up time we received a call and clarification on where to be. It was great. Sadly the vernacular was down but I still got shuttled to the top. Birds were great! Great views. Spectacular place. Only recommendation is if at cruise terminal maybe say be at someplace at a particular time as it can be overwhelming to get off at that port.
    Go to the observatory that is very nice
    Francisco_S, Oct 2022
    Would not recommend this tour operator to anyone, as they were very deceptive. They agreed to meet us an hour early and drop us an hour early to leave on our cruise. They arrived late and make us wait for an hour to pick up other people and they kept stalling, it was very frustrating the good thing is that the nice people at the observatory took us to our ship in time
