Coral Princess :- FT LAUDERDALE . ACAPULCO 22ND MARCH - 4TH APRIL 2OO9: We have just returned from Acapulco ( myself and wife ).We used the services of ' RUDY' TOUR BY VAN. I had arranged this tour of Acapulco independently on line before leaving the UK. True to his word 'Rudy' was waiting for us to disembark at the port. He took us on a wonderful tour of Acapulco. He speaks excellent English and what he doesn't know about Acapulco probably isn't worth knowing about. We stopped for lunch at a typical Mexican restaurant (El Zorrito - great food which Rudy recommended ) .At no time did he pressure us into anything not even the choice of the restaurant as he says it's your tour you make the decisions he didn't take us to his 'friends shop or restaurant '- you know what I mean. The transport provided is very clean and has air con and he also provides complimentary drinks. (I did have transfers provided in my hoiday package provided by princess cruises to my hotel from the port which i decided not to take up) Having corresponded with Rudy by email before leaving the UK he assured me that our luggage would be safe in the transport provided and supervised whilst on the tour WHICH IT WAS ll this meant that instead of checking in at our hotel we were able to go straight on a tour of Acapulco, or if you wanted he was prepared to take you to your hotel first. Our particular tour lasted approx 7 hrs with no extra or hidden costs -he took us to some places that we had not discussed in our itinerary which was an interesting and pleasant surprise. There was another couple of cruise critic members from the US with us on this tour. Rudy is a very informative tour guide and is very proud of his city and country he just can't do enough for you and i would highly recommend his services if he isn't the top tour guide in Acapulco he's got to be in the first 1 - YOU JUST CAN'T GO WRONG IN MY OPINION !!!!!!!!!!! Here are the contact details for ' Rudy 'of Tour By Van Acapulco http ://www.tourbyvan.com info@tourbyvan.com

Planning a holiday? Well, just book a flight and find a hotel once you get there. The hotels or guesthouses are cheap and offer breakfast. Good chance to find a suitable accomodation. There are so many convenient restaurants around, that you don´t need board.

Want a ride? Well get a beetle-taxi. These cars are the only ones around, so good chance to get one... Take a bus during day and a taxi in the nigt. Good chance to trade.

In Acapulco there are many cool and fun discos and clubs around. So you will have no problem to party. Sometimes they have foam or beach parties, but no problem to find out where to go. For men it might get more expensive, because they have to pay a relatively high entrance fee, women pay nothing. But the good part - you can drink everything you want the whole night and the cocktails were enormous tasty. (Women also can drink whatever they want for free - doesn´t sound fair, well rigth, but good for the ladies). The famous clubs mentioned in our travelguide compared where really expensive and we had to celebrate allone.
