Adolfo was interesting, honest, knowledgeable and friendly.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day with him and will recommend him and your website to anyone we know who will be visiting Acapulco. Excellent. Much better than a cruiseship shore excursion. Thank you.

Outstanding tour of Acapulco. Adolfo was excellent, well prepared, spoke very good English, had a large knowledge of the town and knew hidden places with overwhelming views and cool air (we could not only see but also feel Las Brisas). We felt the whole day safe under his guidance. Adolfo, thank you again for a great day!

My wife and I booked a tour with Aldolfo on our cruise visit to Acopulco.
Aldofo was at the pier as he promised despite some confusion regarding ships time and local time.
We were accompanied by another couple that we met on the ship and I was a bit concerned that the tour would not disappoint us. Aldolfo delivered!
He seemed to have all of the necessary "inside connections" to get us preferred access to a number of places we visited.
We will certainly book with Aldofo on our next visit.

Adolfo was not our tour guide.Miguel was. Miguel was a very good guide, and covered all the locations we expected. However, our experience was marred a bit by the feeling of "bait and switch".Adolfo told us that he would be our guide.I presume he had a very good reason for the switch to Miguel, but it still leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth.Miguel was a capable guide who deserves a rating of at least 4. If it weren't for the feeling of "bait and switch", that rating might have been higher.
