“Oscar is THE BEST! We booked him for airport pickup where he greeted us warmly with cold beers and a big smile! We scheduled a bay tour by boat but due to rough waters had to get creative. He graciously helped us to come up with an alternative plan and took us into La Crucecita for some shopping, La Entrega for awesome snorkeling (he even went out with us to show us the best spots and pointed out the different fish!), Bahia Maguey for lunch and then Playa Bocana for mud baths. Oscar is so knowledgeable of the area and clearly has a passion for welcoming visitors. We will absolutely book through him again when we come back!” - Reviewed at 2024-02-17

“Educational and Fun - Elajandro provided a passionate history of the area. We came away with a better understanding of ecological and social influencers of what one finds today. He adapted the tour to meet our requests. The mescal education & tasting was excellent. As a knitter, felt maker the textile demonstration of silk, wool, & cotton ancient methods of color creation was fascinating. Loom creations with dyed fibres are breathtakingly beautiful complex masterpieces. The vehicle is very clean & comfortable. Recommend taking water with you.” - Reviewed at 2024-05-01
