ABOUT US
We're a group of volunteers who have organized ourselves in Mazatlán, Mexico to provide a warm welcome for visitors. Armed with free information, maps and our own working knowledge of the pretty port town on the Sea of Cortez, the blue-shirted Mazatlán Tourist Aide volunteers dispense smiles along with down-to-earth info about our city.
THE BLUE LINE
Mazatlán's "Blue Line" is a unique and innovative feature that guides visitors on a walking tour through the city’s most iconic and culturally significant sites. This simple yet effective line, painted on the streets, offers an easy way for tourists to explore the heart of Mazatlán without the need for a map or guide. The Blue Line begins at the cruise ship terminal and winds its way to the historic center, allowing travelers to discover the city’s hidden gems at their own pace. As you walk the blue line you'll encounter the Mazatlán Tourist Aide Volunteers - we're the friendly faces who can answer your questions, point you towards a particular interesting attraction, and give you suggestions for things to see and do while you're in Mazatlán! You can spot us because we will be wearing our blue shirts with the 'Mazatlán Tourist Aide Volunteer' logo (just a word of caution - if there's no logo, it's not one of our volunteers).
THINGS TO SEE & DO
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
We have visited Mazatlán several times. But with all the bad press and media hype about how dangerous it was, we had decided we would probably not go this year. Then we saw a video on YouTube of the Mazatlán Tourist Aide Volunteers and we figured if THEY feel safe living there, it was worth our coming back. We are not sorry. We are having a great trip. Please tell all the volunteers thank you from us!
Enjoyed meeting your 3 volunteers this past week! They gave the best advice and the gentleman of the trio said that was the most info he had dispensed all day at Machado Square!
I was hoping to find you all again to pick your brain for a trip today to Isla de la Piedra, but no luck!
I think you provide a great service, and hope you stick around despite the closure of the cruise ships for now!
Gracias!.
I would like to thank your organization for the great service you are doing for tourists. I visited Mazatlán last week March 31, 2015, my family and I were on the Carnival Miracle. When we got off the ship we were greeted by one of the Mazatlán Tourist Aide Volunteers and she was very helpful, gave us great useful information and a map of the old city area. We walked the old city and found a few more volunteers along the way. This is a wonderful city, we had a great time exploring the sites and would return to Mazatlán again. Thanks again, sincerely, David from San Diego.
