This tour was exactly what we needed and I HIGHLY recommend Agencia Tours to anyone looking for a streamlined experience of Cholón & Baru!! First, although NO ONE was fluent in Spanish in our group, not once throughout this trip was language a barrier between us and the tour guide or Agencia Tours. I would like to give special praise to our coordinator “Sandra” and our tour guide “Claudimar” who made sure to be attentive to our group and keep us on time and in the know the entire trip. I looked to book an experience that would fit the tight itinerary we had for our brother’s celebration weekend. Planning travel for a group of 10+ brings its complexities but Agencia Tours’ experience was the exact selection of islands and amount of time we needed. There were other options available that had a bit more bells and whistles, but the price point that this experience was at allowed our group to shift their budgets to their experience at Cholón which was perfect for us. 100 stars/10

I really liked the service. Professional and experienced tour guides who were good at organizing things. It wasn't easy to understand everything when booking, so we ended up at a party stop instead of snorkeling or the "aquarium/swimming with dolphins" group. We got good help getting into the right group the next day. Good lunch. Overall, a great trip. Highly recommended!

It was amazing! The best tour ever! The highlight is the plankton tour with a photographer! It is an extremely well planed event with time to relax in between. Although it is a full day activity, you don’t feel exhausted at all due to the well designed schedule. I loved the tour and would recommend anyone to do it! Hope to do it again one day
