Sightseeing

Chantelle_C, Jan 2024

Antonio was very knowledgable about the area. Loved the square at night! Hearing about how weaving is done in the area was really good! Their work is amazing!

A pleasant morning with Roberto

Paula_S, Dec 2023

An unexpectedly private tour for just the two of us with Roberto. He was able to accommodate our mobility limitations and interests, and proudly showed us his charming small city. The mescal tasting was a highlight, especially when Roberto showed us how to drink it with lime (to chase the mole chips and grasshopper snacks). The car was brand new and sparkling clean, and his commentary was easy to understand and interesting. It was like making a new friend.

Great experience. Best way to familiarize yourself with the area first...

WorldTravelsTandJ, Oct 2019

It was just Rudy and the two of us and he was nothing short of amazing. As a local he had a tremendous amount of pride in his town and was excited to share that with us. Extremely personable and took the extra effort to ensure we saw the most important sites , advice on shopping and restaurants and a bit of information on the history of the area. Highly recommended. Ask if Rudy is available.

Response from Host, Nov 2019

We thank you with all my heart for the time you took to leave us your comments. We look forward to serving you on your next visit to the beautiful bays of Huatulco. Rudy is really excited.
