Pulmonia tours in Mazatlan

Does anyone know if you can get a pulmonia tour at the dock in Mazatlan or do you have to make arrangements before arriving.

Hi,

You can certainly find one when there but if you want someone that has been recommended then probably a good idea to book ahead.

This thread from the Trip Advisor Mazatlan forum has some recommended names and a discussion about them in general. It sounds like they can be hailed on the street like a taxi and you need to negotiate the price before getting in:

I can share my experience from three years ago....

When you get off the boat they will shuttle you through the dock area to a tourist terminal. Walk thru that out to the gate and pulmonias are lined up down the block. Driver came to us and said $20 an hour or $50 for the "three hour tour". Sounded good so we hopped in. Welllll, that's about all the English he spoke, so he did a lot of pointing. Took us around town, hotel zone, shrimp market, then to a walmart to get some "supplies".

We had him drop us off at the water taxi terminal near the cruise ship and handed him $60. About $3 for the water taxi over to stone island, and spent rest of the day at Victor's.

Now, because of the absence of most cruise ships for the last few years I can't speak to the current supply of pulmonia's. As mentioned, if you can find a recommendation for a good English speaking driver, I'd certainly try to contact them ahead of time.

and spent rest of the day at Victor's.

 

On my Miracle cruise in January 2015....I will finish my day in Mazatlan...at Victors!!!

You will find plenty of pulmonias at the dock and outside on the street. Don't be in a rush to book until you find a driver who speaks good English. I like Pedro and have known his father since Pedro was a baby, but there are many others who are fluent in English and will be fair with you.
