GailP Posted November 16, 2004 #3 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I am very interested in booking a tour with mazatlan frank but do not know how to get in touch with him. Would appreciate any info you could provide. Thanks, Gail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranjg20 Posted November 18, 2004 #4 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Frank is one of my favorite guides. You should be able to get ahold of him at floke2000@hotmail.com at least that is the address we used. He is wonderful. Raised, I think in Chicago. Very nice and informative. Give it a try and tell him Sharon sent you. Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigischill Posted November 22, 2004 #8 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Frank met us at the pier last Wednesday and gave us a wonderful tour of Mazatlan. He was punctual, greeting us with a big smile and a sign displaying our name. I can't imagine how the tour could have been any better -- good sightseeing, a little history, a little shopping, a peek into residential areas, and beautiful weather -- just a good overview of the city, which is what I like most when I visit somewhere new. The open-air trolley made it much more fun than being in an enclosed bus, too. It was a definite highlight of our cruise and an opportunity not to be missed. Wish Frank could have been in Cabo san Lucas and Puerto Vallarta, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazatlan frank Posted November 26, 2004 #9 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Thank you for the nice comments and as I said before, if I can help you with anything else please ask. It is always so nice to meet nice people like all of you. I hope we can meet again in the future. Happy holidays! Mazatlan Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiman Posted December 1, 2004 #10 Share Posted December 1, 2004 We just returned from a week-long Thanksgiving tour on the Diamond Princess. The highlight of our vacation was the Sierra Madre tour we took with Frank Thiel-Armenta. It was like traveling with a friend. Frank is so personable and knowledgeable. And it was wonderful to have our own personal guide and to be able to travel at our own pace. It was a great pleasure to see the lush mountain landscape and to see local artisans at work. When we returned from our visit to the historic villages of Concordia and Copala we were treated to an overview of Mazatlan itself. We ended the day feeling that Mazatlan was our home, too. If you would like to arrange a tour with Frank, you can e-mail him at: fkole2000@hotmail.com Louise and Frank Haiman:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzfool Posted December 4, 2004 #13 Share Posted December 4, 2004 We're sailing on Dec 22 on Diamond Princess. We'd like a couple more people to join our tour with Frank. We're going to Copala etc. on the Sierra Madre Tour. Email me or Frank if you're interested. Thanks, Cruz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galia Posted December 10, 2004 #14 Share Posted December 10, 2004 What do you recommend doing with teen agers in Mazatlan? They get bored sight seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeslieM238 Posted December 11, 2004 #15 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I would like to add my voice to those singing the praises of Mazatlan Frank. Our group of 17 was on the Carnival Pride and were with Frank on Thursday, Dec. 2, 2004. Each person in our group throughly enjoyed our time with him. We saw several different areas of the city, had time to shop, eat, drink and also to enjoy Frank. He even helped bring our lunch out at the restaurant!! Frank makes sure that you come away with a real positive feel for his city. My husband and I are planning to go back to Mexico in 2006 and hope Frank is still there. We could not have had a better tour experience. I too wish there were Frank clones in the other cities on our cruise. He does everything he possibly can to make sure you enjoy your day in the city. I HIGHLY recommend Frank!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banderboo Posted December 18, 2004 #16 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Another recommendation for Frank. We booked a tour with Frank in September and had a wonderful time. It was probably one of the best tours we have ever been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clvali Posted December 19, 2004 #17 Share Posted December 19, 2004 We just returned from the Mexican Riviera and thoroughly enjoyed our visit in Mazatlan. Mazatlan Frank provided an awesome day from start to finish. He is friendly, informative, and a pleasure to spend the day with. If you have an opportunity to visit there and take a tour with Frank, you'll enjoy yourself! We sailed on the Saphirre Princess last November. Our favorite day by far was Mazatlan because of the great tour that Frank gave us. We not only visited all the highlights of the Island, he took us to a newspaper place for a USA and we visited a leather shop (at our request). Lunch was great up in the mountains, scenery spectuclar, toured a private home, visited a site above the city for pictures with the ship in the background, and so much more. The Pacificas were mighty tasty also. Hope we can find similare guides in Greece and Turkey next spring. Val Tom Cathy and Eric. clvali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdebolt Posted December 23, 2004 #18 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I'll be down in May...can anyone share what the tour condsists of and pricing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnQ Posted December 23, 2004 #19 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Frank has a large van or two and will customize your tour to whatever you want to do or see. He charges by the hour and the rate per person goes down with the number of people you have. I haven't been on his tour but have talked with him several times and would not be afraid to do, especially if I had more than two people. Correct info Frank?
