Tequila, Saddles, and Sandals.

 

We have not been on your tour, but in Mazatlan, a "Tequila, Saddles, and Sandals" tour screams out Stone Island. The cruise lines do a fantastic job of safely entertaining cruise line guests; and its a great way to meet your fellow shipmates. If you can well afford it, doing stone island thru the cruise line is a great idea. If you want to save $$$, take the short walk to stone island, ride horses, get as much sandal time as you can handle, the Tequilla flows with minimal $, and we usually bounce around and chat with the many fun Canadian snowbirds (we cruise visit in winter)

On out last visit, the cruise lines were staging way down the beach in the RV park Palapa, A great place to visit for us anyway (rv is our #1 past time)

About 3 years ago we took a RCL tour with a different title but I think the same tour. We went inland for about an hour to a town named "Noria" (I think.) There we went to a saddle shop and saw them make Mexican saddles and then went to another place in Noria that made sandals. After that, we jumped in the bus and went to a tequila factory. I don't remember if lunch was included. The tour lasted five or six hours. If we are talking about the same tour, it was a pretty good tour - been on better and have been on a lot worse.
