The tour with Malu was very informative. She knew details of Acapulco past and present that were very interesting. We went to places I wouldn't have been able to find on my own.

The tour was simply fantastic! I never felt rushed at all! My guide Mario had so much knowledge of the local area and patiently answered all of my questions and made recommendations for excellent local restaurants and beaches! The tour took me all around the major spots of the city with all of the breathtaking views that Acapulco offers as well as through colourful local markets and neighborhoods rich and poor. This is such a beautiful place! The divers at la Quebrada were unbelievably brave! What an amazing sight! Mario made sure that I could meet the divers afterward and get photos with them. Mario also took me to some local places that would not be on an ordinary tour like a wonderful bakery where I was able to see the bakers working their magic and purchase some delicious freshly made items. He also made a quick stop at another location that wasn’t on the itinerary so that I could see it and get some photos! This tour does not waste your time trying to make you spend money in tourist traps which i really appreciated. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who has a passion for really learning about the heart and soul of Acapulco! 10 out of 10!
We are staying at the Vidanta in Acapulco. The resort offers a city tour, but I thought it was kind of expensive. So I looked around and found this tour on TripAdvisor. We ended up with a private tour for my partner and I. Our driver/guide was Malu. She was VERY knowledgeable, friendly and did a great job explaining everything and telling us about the history of the city and the places we visited. We went to Las Brisas and the Chapel of Peace, visited the morning beaches (Caleta...), saw the Cliff Divers show, visited the Flamingo hotel, went to the Diego Murals, the Zocalo, and the Fort of San Diego. We really enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend the tour and the company.
A few years ago we went to Acapulco as a family, it was a short time but it was something incredible 🤭, spending time with the family. I had fun when we were at the beach, because I got on the banana with my mom and my brother 😂, then my sister and I buried my brother in the sand... The funny thing is that my brother was dragged by a wave😂and my dad wanted to grab him. These places were incredible if they are highly recommended to visit with family 🤭
I was the only one on the trip but they went ahead with it anyway. I was chauffeured in a car by a friendly English speaking driver. I enjoyed all of the sites and saw a lot of Acapulco, excellent value for money.
Rudy and Santiago were not only perfect guides; they were also perfect hosts, welcoming us to their beautiful city like we were old friends. Their warm and caring personalities were evident in everything they did and said. They ensured we saw all the best things at the best times--some of which were almost beyond belief. As a father traveling with a teen daughter, safety was my highest concern--and, with Rudy and Santiago as our escorts, there was never a moment either of us felt we were in danger. Finally, Rudy's willingness to accommodate our wishes was evident from the start. We told him we wanted to practice our Spanish and, as a result, he made a point of speaking to us only in Spanish (except when we specifically asked him to explain things in English). When he would forget and start speaking to us in English, he would immediately apologize and revert to Spanish. I would highly recommend hiring Rudy for any tour.
We visited the places listed and enjoyed our time in Acapulco. The diving exhibition was great to see after my visit 44 years ago. The day was very cloudy and rainy so wasn't the best but definitely not the fault of the tour provider or tour guide.
The value of almost any tour is the professionalism and knowledge of your guide. In this case, it also helps that he had good English and a desire to please. The tour met every commitment it made and the vehicle was comfortable. Most importantly it had air concitioning for a very hot and humid day
<p>This is a great excursion for those who want a taste of Acapulco and a great seat to the cliff divers. Highly recommended.</p>
Our tour guides Rudy and Roger were absolutely amazing! Roger picked us up at our resort punctually. We then visited the Chapel of Peace where Roger so eloquently described the history behind the beautiful chapel and showed us the breathtaking views offered by the chapel’s location. We then picked up Rudy and continued out tour with a visit to a silver factory. The next stop was Diego Rivera’s gorgeous mosaic mural and then on to a hotel hovering over the Acapulco Bay and yet another breathtaking view. Before seeing the world famous Cliff Divers of Acapulco. We were treated to the Acapulco farmers market where Rudy and Roger treated us to samples of absolutely delicious fresh fruits. After the Divers, Rudy and Roger recommended a wonderful taqueria for lunch. At our request, they dropped us off at the restaurant and made sure we had instructions on how to get back to our resort. The tour and our guides were awesome! Rudy and Roger were very knowledgeable and passionate about Acapulco and bringing visitors to this gorgeous city. If you ever visit Acapulco, I highly recommend this tour.
From the time they picked us up from the hotel, until the end of our tour, we had an amazing time! Not only did we see things on the must do list like the chapel of peace and divers, but we also got to see what real life in Acapulco is like for many. Lots of informative information on not only the country but the agriculture. Gave us excellent recommendations on places to eat and other things to do on our stay. If we ever came back, I would call Rudy again!
<p>Guides, Roger and Rudy, were amazing. They truly enjoyed sharing their love of Acapulco. They took us to a multitude of beautiful places and even places off the beaten path. They treated us like family. Not once did we feel unsafe or unappreciated. We couldn’t have picked a better tour!</p>
<p>Great tour. Well organised and friendly. They met us at Cruise terminal and took us to the highlight areas before heading to the cliffs to watch the divers - which were amazing.</p>
<p>The tour guides Rudy and Santiago were very knowledgeable about where to eat, what to do and the history behind the different locations we went to. They had good sense of humor and would answer any question you threw at them, even why parts of the trees are painted white and others not. They are both fluent in English and Spanish and are very accommodating with what you'd like to know and do. As far as what you see/do: The divers were amazing! One thing I would change, if I had the powers of the universe: While this is a half day tour and there is a tight schedule, I was hoping for a bit of time to shop at a market, being that the rest of my vacation time was spent at the beach, relaxing. Where we stopped to shop was primarily jewelry and while I LOVE what I bought, I also wanted to see other shops. Not a big thing, but if you're looking multiple places to shop, this tour is too short to do that. Both Rudy and Santiago are very straight forward and will point you in a safe direction to go and explore. Also, if you're staying at the Mayan Palace or other hotels in the newer area, this tour costs more than is initially quoted on the website due to the location of the hotel.</p>
<p>We were met by the management director Rudy just outside the exit from our cruise ship. He informed us of what our day would include and introduced us to our tour director Marco who was incredible. He was very genuine and highly informative. Our small group of 4 was much more personal than a large group and gave us the ability to ask questions at any point in time. His lifelong knowledge of Acapulco was amazing and left us with information we would have never known about. His wealth of information from the economy to the details of a Quinceañera there was a young girl having formal pictures taken at the chapel. </p> <p>While the cliff diving was spectacular in its own right, it was Marco that explained what to look for, why they waited for a certain point in time to dive, the religious praying to the gods before they dove and the history of cliff diving. We were treated to breathtaking views of the city from many vantage points which you won't get from a big bus as there isn't room for them to pull over. </p> <p>We would highly recommend using Rudy and his group for your next tour in Acapulco. You will feel comfortable, safe, well taken care of, and walk away with a better perspective of this beautiful town.</p>
<p>Super fun, cool, and interesting. I enjoyed the divers' show.</p>
<p>This tour was incredible! Roger, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable. He took us to the regular Acapulco sites. Then they took us to some other great places. They gave us lots of opportunity for pictures, and had no problem if we wanted to stay a little longer. Comfortable van, and we always felt safe. Do this tour!</p>
<p>The best tour in Acapulco! Not only did our tour guides take us to the different locations listed on tour, but they also showed us different parts of traditional Acapulco. I recommend it!</p>
<p>We are already very familiar with Acapulco, having visited numerous times. Still, we decided to take this tour, just to see what it was like. The price was incredible, the tour was exceptional. José and Rudy are able to give a personalized tour based on your interests, previous knowledge and abilities in Spanish and English. </p> <p>They are funny and at the same time knowledgeable and passionate about their beautiful city. I highly recommend it.</p>
<p>The tour was better than advertised and the guide was not only informative, but funny.</p>
