Great tour with a lot of flexibility - We were with Dani for the majority of the tour and he did an excellent job of taking us to do what we wanted that was not necessarily part of the preplanned tour. Some of the bigger changes to the itinerary cost extra, but it was worth it.
He also dropped us off at the beach so we could enjoy that instead of heading back directly to the cruise port. He coordinated with one of his several drivers, Jayson, to take us to the port from the beach.
All of the guides from Dani's Roatan Tour Guide Association are fully aware of all the cruise arrivals and departures and made sure we got everywhere on time.
I highly recommend having Whatsapp since it is very easy to communicate pickup from the port since it is hectic there.

We had an amazing time... - We had an amazing time with Dani! He basically let us make the tour our own. We visited all the spots listed and also made local stops for food and drinks. He showed us his personal favorite restaurants, bars, and stores. It was an amazing day!

Amazing, fun, great exploring and relaxing - RTGA was amazing! The instructions and communication for meeting/pickup point were clear and easy to follow. We enjoyed our time exploring the city and seeing local spots to enjoy. It was an amazing time and if we find ourselves back in Roatan we’ll be booking with RTGA!

Our tour guide Mario did a great job! - Although we were looking forward to meeting Dani, our tour guide Mario did a great job. He was there to meet us after we disembarked the ship. He was informative, stayed with us as we shopped and helped us choose Roatan souvenirs. We highly recommend this tour company. Thank you Dani and Mario!

Beautiful, fun, informative, personable, custom curated and relaxing - We had an absolute amazing time. PABLO wasa fantastic tour guide. His recommendations were spot on. He advocated for us to get access to menus not usually given to cruise tourist. The art gallery gorgeious. The shell art academy was breathtaking and the boat ride was relaxing with a stunning view. I highly recommend RTGA

Best Valentine’s Day Gift - I had booked a cruise and noticed that they offered a tour to the Roatan Chocolate Factory. My husband teaches a Chocolatier Class so I was super excited to book this only to discover it was fully booked up and we could not get into the tour group…win/win for us. I found the same tour on Viator so I booked it through them instead. I mentioned that I really didn’t care if we did any other part of this tour as I wanted the Chocolate Factory portion of it for us. Because it was just my husband and I, we were able to spend more than the 15 minutes allowed with the cruise line tour. We had a wonderful day with Guilermo as our guide and Daniel (Dani) talked with my husband and answered his questions. My husband told me this day was the highlight of his trip. Thanks Guilermo and Dani for the wonderful memories. It was the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. Hopefully we will be able to return to Roatan again one day.

Absolutely Wonderful! - I had a wonderful time with Dani! I booked the West End on Viator on a Sunday evening and on Monday morning Dani texted me about doing the tour that afternoon. I was blown away by how quick he responded. I had a blast on the West End tour seeing the Chocolate Factory, Rum Factor, the Roatan sign and the shopping. Dani also took me to a local food shop for pupusas---so yummy! Dani is an interesting person to talk to and made me feel very welcomed. His communication is wonderful, texting me when he was running late (he picked me up at my hotel).
I enjoyed the West End tour so much I then booked the snorkeling tour, also at the last minute. I was snorkeling in the east end and wanted to snorkel in the west end so I texted Dani and he immediately responded that he was available that afternoon. He arranged a taxi to pick me up and off we went. The snorkeling was fabulous and Dani even took pictures that he shared with me. I loved my time with Dani and can't say enough good things about him. I will definitely recommend him as a tour guide in Roatan.

Highly Recommend Roatan Tour Guide Association - Daniel was amazing and saved our day! A day filled with rain had us in a bad mood but Daniel’s Roatan Tour Guide Association came through for us. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly trustworthy.
We toured, visited a chocolate factory, a rum company and got introduced to some new cuisine for lunch that was amazing!
We highly recommend using Roatan Tour Guide Association if you are ever in Honduras.

Just do it, you wont regret, and enjoy! - It was great to be with Daniel for this tour, any, and all tours with him would be fine with us! My son and I visited and had the best time! Chocolate factory was awesome, everything was! I bought a hammock, and another Souvenir, and Daniel just draped it over his arm, and off to the next place we went!! I didn't ask him, he just did it. The small things sure mean a lot! We had no idea it would be a private tour, even better! He's very knowledgeable of everything, and had several really good stories too. This tour is well worth the money.
Taking another cruise in 3 weeks, not to Honduras, but still, going to see whats up, cuz tours is his specialty, obviously. And, btw, you can tell Daniel what you like, and he can adjust the tour, where its really, really the stuff you like! It was already great.
Perfect day.
