Hi Everyone,

FOR THE FOLKS ON THE CARNIVAL PRIDE SAIL DATE 10/3/04
AND THE SAPPHIRE PRINCESS SAIL DATE 10/2/04

We are scheduled to be in Mazatlan on Thursday, 10/7. Is there anyone out there that is interested in a private tour of Mazatlan? I found many excellent reviews on the various cruise boards regarding this gentleman named Frank. I contacted him regarding a city tour. For those who have been to Mazatlan before, this is basically the Colonial Villages tour. If I can get at least a couple more people to join us the price is $45 per person and he accepts American $. The ship charges $52 and they do NOT include lunch. The tour is 6 hours leaving us plenty of time for other activities. Frank has other tours and my husband & I are flexible so if you would be have interest in another tour he offers perhaps we can do this together as well.

Frank would pick us up at the ship in his air conditioned van.

The tour consists of:
1. Tour of brick making at one families ranch.
2. Drive to Concorida to see tiles being made
3. Stopping at a bakery for delicious pastries
4. Going to a furniture making factory
5. Stop for lunch at a resturant INCLUDED IN TOUR PRICE
6. Fabulous drive through the countryside of Mazatlan
7. Option of being dropped off at the Golden Zone for shopping or drop off at the ship.

I did this same tour (via ship shore excursion) without the lunch last year while I was on the Vision of the Seas. It was WONDERFUL, very interesting and informative. The drive through the countryside and down by the ocean is amazing.

You can e-mail me privatetly with questions @ ksiggins@faroudja.com & I will send you Frank's website.

That sounds like a great tour. We would love for you to write a review of your day in Mazatlan and submit it to PortReviews when you return. That is just the kind of information we are looking for, as are those seeking information from the website. Have a wonderful trip!
Nancy

I would go in a heartbeat, but won't be in Mazatlan. I agree with Nancy, I would love to read a review of the tour.
