Juan Carlos was friendly, funny, and accommodating-an excellent guide! We especially enjoyed the stop in Ventanilla and the opportunity to feed the animals at the sanctuary. Thank you!

This tour was just amazing. I've said in a previous post that it's about who you go with, we were stuck with a couple we didn't get along with but our tour guy Antonio.. I have no words.. he was just amazing!! He was so funny so kind and we really spoke to us like we were old friends, giving us tips and how much we should be spending on things, took photos for us without asking, we had an 11 year old and an 8 month old with us and he was chatting to our family like we were our old and taking care of us completely in every way. If you do book ask for Antonio, he just has the most incredible attitude I've ever seen. It was such a long day too but honestly so worth it. Every place we went to he completely took care of everything and made sure we got our money's worth. He is so funny I can't explain how funny he was especially when we saw the crocodiles. My son got hurt at the beach and he was on top of it quicker than I was! He's such a hard worker and clearly loves what he does and taught us Spanish. He was teaching us sentences that would help us through our month of backpacking with kids! His English is insane, you would have thought he grew up in Australia! The other people didn't really want to be included but he still tried really hard with them. The tour itself was just awesome! With a crying baby we were so worried we would be annoying and the worst people but Antonio just took it like a champ and really made us feel like family. Tours are always about your group and the guide and I just can't believe what a wonderful time we had.pkriger

Luis spoke English very well, and provided plenty of information about the parks, and beaches. The only downside was that we were expecting to stop at the turtle museum, but it was closed Monday, and Tuesday.

This was an incredible excursion and Luis was the most awesome guide! I really wanted to see all of the local towns I’ve heard about on the coast and Luis helped me do that all in one day. We went to Ventanilla where we went on a boat, saw alligators and baby deer and ate the most amazing authentic local sopes and fresh coconut. Then we went to Mazunte and checked out the town and beach. After that we went to Zipolite where we spent time on the famous beautiful beach and had a drink. Finally we went to Puerto Angel for the freshest seafood lunch and one of the prettiest beaches with lots of fishing boats. Highly recommend this trip if you want to explore outside of Puerto Escondido. And Luis was so great at explaining and answering questions about history, culture and food.Gabriela_N

First and foremost, this tour was amazing because of our guide Neufrain. He picked us up right on time and was social/funny/knowledgeable. We first stopped in the small town of Ventanilla. There, we fed a spider monkey, deer, and iguanas. We were able to speak with the locals and try their traditional cuisine. Neufrain also gives you time at the beach to relax, swim, or just sunbathe. He had no issue speaking English. This is a must do tour. Ask for Neufrain to be your guide, you won’t regret it!tracywA2387CG

We spoke to Jaciel about the Mazunte tour because, while there were some things that we were interested in, there were other activities, such as the natural cosmetics store, that weren't a good fit for our 6 and 8 year old kids. He suggested a custom tour that was more tailored towards wildlife and nature. He picked us up at our airbnb and we spent the afternoon on Ventanilla Island. We took a small boat to the island and saw crocodiles, iguanas, deer, and monkeys and were able to feed the iguanas and deer. The island has a small restaurant where we were able to get some food and just relax in a beautiful setting. After leaving Ventanilla Island we went to the turtle museum in Mazunte. We were the only ones there and got to see many species of turtles. We finished off the day by hiking to Punto Cometa and then down to Playa Cometa for the sunset. It was a fabulous way to end an amazing day. I highly recommend.
