A fully private, bespoke tour of both Zihuatanejo's charming old town and the resort strip of Ixtapa, led by a vetted local guide at your own pace. This is the definitive way to understand the twin souls of this Pacific gem.
What to expect
Begin in Zihuatanejo's sun-drenched centro historico, wandering the Mercado de Artesanías and the iconic Paseo del Pescador waterfront promenade. Your guide shares stories of how this fishing village became a cinematic icon (yes, The Shawshank Redemption). Cross to modern Ixtapa to contrast gleaming hotel boulevards with the wild Playa del Palmar. The tour wraps with a curated lunch stop at a local seafood spot your guide personally vouches for.
Good to know
Tours typically run 4–5 hours — well within all-aboard windows for most port calls. Pre-book directly and confirm your ship's departure time with your guide. The pier is at Puerto Mío marina; taxis to centro Zihuatanejo take under 10 minutes.
