Summary:
This tour was absolutely amazing! Elvira was very knowledgeable and very well spoken. She was very flexible in accommodating my parents and I. She substituted some of the events that we double booked to make sure we didn't do anything twice and had the best experience. Her and her father were very pleasant throughout the excursion. I purchased a large silver medallion after purchasing it and leaving I thought of how I would like it better if it were customized with no clasp and extra links, so I could just slide it over my head. She took us back to the jeweler on her time. The jeweler didn't have enough links to make it long enough. Elvira saw that I was a little sad to hear that and she found a matching bracelet to extend the necklace. It worked beautifully. I was very happy and very grateful, because she didn't have to do that and she had to wait longer for the jeweler to complete my necklace. I couldn't be happier with her and her tour. It was the highlight of our vacation. I highly recommend Elvira Tours to everyone. They are absolutely fantastic.

Summary:
Truly a great day! Elvira picked us up promptly and with sunshine in her smile. She was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. We could have listened to her speak of the culture and history of "her" Mexico forever. No teacher could have been more interesting. She was patient and went far out of her way to accommodate us. We would highly recommend this tour but particularly Elvira for any tour while in Acapulco.
