Stadtrundfahrt mit Luis

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

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.

Pablo was a fantastic guide on a lovely day seeing around Ixtapa, Zihuatanejo and Playa Blanca. It was really good to get out of town and see some more of life in Mexico outside the most touristic spots. The coconut farm and the lunch at the beach were especially memorable. Would highly recommend.
