Was that the Pulmonia ?

 

Did you specify to the driver which places you wished to see and the number of hours you wanted to hire ?

 

I want only 2-3 hours.

 

How much to tip ?

 

Any additional information would be most helpful.

 

Thanks

We hired an open taxi in Mazatlan for US $50 for 4 hours and told him what we wanted to see. Driver spoke some English, it was not perfect but was able to communicate. We saw every thing and were able to control the time we wanted to spend at each place. At end of 4 hours, he dropped us in front of the ticket booth for stone island, we went there for few hours; took the water taxi back and walked back to ship. It takes about 8 minutes to walk to ship from the water taxi booth. Since we had good breakfast at ship, we had snack of different kind of tamales at central market. Central market is also good for shopping for gifts. Four hours were enough to see every thing in Mazatlan. Going to stone island was a last minute plan, otherwise we would have eaten at the beach.

Is the trolley one that you can hop on and off and stay at each stop as long as you want and catch the next trolley or do you stay with the same trolley the entire trip?

You stay with the same trolley the entire time. They take you back to the cruise terminal. However, we had them drop us off at the Central Market and took a pulmonia back to the ship. Cost was $4.
