Really surpired! Love the old school feel. Be sure to "Follow the blue line" to get to old-town and to easily get to the main square, Basillica, and other spots. Visited Olas Altas; Loved it! Didn't get out to the main "Golden Zone..." maybe next time. ...
Independent small, private, city tour for almost 4 hours, run by Mazatlan Van Tours for just $29. I really enjoyed the Basilica and city market. Also great handicrafts shopping. ...

We went with a private van tour from Mazatlan Van Tours. They let us chose where we want to go, what to see and have suggestions along the way.
Mazatlan is a beautiful city and we enjoyed it there again. ...

Carnival noted that they are monitoring and finding a backup if Mazatlan is not safe on the day of our visit. It was safe and had a lot of police presence. We stopped at a convenient store before the hike for ...
I know there are some concerns about safety now, but I highly enjoyed my time in Mazatlan. I did a Shrimp Fest excursion, and while I probably wouldn't do that exact tour again, I'd love to try some others there. ...
