Amazing company - Luis and his company were amazing. We did a fishing tour, kayak/ snorkel tour and best of all a custom made city tour. Our kids made tortillas and bricks with the locals. Got to see all parts of the city and the countryside / coconut plantation. Luis and his colleagues were amazing.

Authentic Mexico - A Great Tour with Luis - This tour was an amazing overview of culture, history, and life in authentic Mexico. Luis was our local guide and he took great care ensuring an excellent experience - he was punctual and genuinely enjoying sharing his home town with us. This tour has a little bit of everything - Natural area, vista point for photos, tour of municipal market, visit to coconut farm, visit and hands-on experience to make clay brick with a local craftsman, and finally a lovely lunch on the beach. Lunch was delicious and a perfect end to the day. If you are looking for a local experience. This tour is perfect for your travels. Thank you, Luis.

Countryside tour - What a fun day! Pablo was the best tour guide! He shared about the history of the area, the culture, and all the sites. I can’t tell which was my favorite… the coconut plantation or the brick making. Lunch on the beach at the lagoon in Barra was one of the best meals we’ve had the whole trip. Thank you Pablo for a fantastic day exploring the beautiful countryside of Zihuatanejo.

Take the tour with Pablo! - Pablo was a wonderful, informative, and engaging tour guide. The coconut grove and clay tile making visits were fascinating. The trip to Ixtapa and through Zihuatanejo gave us a lay of the land, and the fresh fillet lunch on the beach at the lagoon was great too! We would recommend Pablo to anyone.

excellent and informative - We were picked up on time by Francisco and were pleasantly surprised that we were the only guests . had an excellent personalized tour of Ixtapa and surrounding area stopping at a crocodile refuge opposite from Ixtapa Island ... then carried on thru a traditional small town stopping at a local 6 th generation working bakery and a small local clay tile manufacturing business . Guide was very attentive and knowledgable of local plants etc and was fluent in English. after 3- 4 hours we stopped for lunch at Barra de potosi beach .. very nice way to end the tour before returning to hotel

A tour to remember - Our tour guide was Francisco ( Cisco 😊) We had a fantastic time. He was so knowledgeable and very personable. We enjoyed every moment with him. He related so many facts about Mexico that we did not know. He took us to a family run bakery and it was amazing. The bakers name was also Francisco! He and his son were making croissants and cinnamon buns and baguettes and they were ready to go in the oven. We went back so I could purchase some. WOW! Delicious. The best! We went to another family business that make roof tiles out of clay. I got to make one and did fairly well. We drove all over saw so much. We went to a small fishing village and Had a great lunch of breaded shrimp and freshly made tortillas. Yum. My head is full of information and my eyes are brimming with the beauty of Zihuatenajo and Ixtapa and all the other sites along the way. If you decide to go on this tour you won’t be disappointed

An amazing guide ! - We had booked this half day group tour and the morning we were to head out, half of our group ended up being ill. I offered to pay Luis for my wife and my portion and he could head out and get on with his day. He wouldn't have it and offered to take only 4 of us for a shorter tour without the original meal stop included in the original (more on that later). The tour was fantastic with Luis and his wingman (son Angel) going above and beyond to insure we had a great and memorable experience. Touring the hills between Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo while learning about the Flaura, Fauna, the local peoples and infrastructure was so informative. The sites and smells of the city market were intoxicating, and watching Luis interact with the locals and many foreigners from past tours he has done throughout the years, was amazing and fun. We then headed for the South end and visited the Parthenon replica (unfortunately closed that day), stopped to enjoy the many amazing views af the bay and the beautiful La Ropa beach. Finally we headed into the hills to a small village, where Luis was kind enough to stop at a roadside vendor and purchase us a wonderful stew like meat dish in delicious fresh bread. Then we headed to a beautiful Coconut plantation run by a third generation family, who were very infomative and accomodating. I have in the past, been acussed by numerous tour guides of asking to many questions. Luis never once seemed frustrated by any of our quiries and in fact,stopped the vehicle on many occasions to answer questions in full. If you visit this wonderful part of Mexico and wish to either learn more about it's many beautiful and interesting places or it's history, I truly believe Luis is your best option. Sorry, no pictures available right now but I will post later. Thank you so much Luis, and Angel, for a very wonderful and memorable experience. Hasta Luego, Kerry and Yvette Hamilton

Choose Luis. You will find none better! - Luis was our tour guide for two days. First was the island tour and the next day we had a private tour with Luis of Zihua and Ixtapa. Luis is the consummate tour guide. Helpful, funny, extremely knowledgeable, and very concerned with the comfort and enjoyment of his guests. When I asked his recommendations for transportation to the airport for our return trip, he volunteered to pick us up at the hotel and take us to the airport. I've never experienced a tour guide as amazing as Luis. As we told him at the airport, we met him as our guide and he has now become our friend. If you are in Zihua/Ixtapa, please be sure to choose Luis to learn about the area. You will find none better.
