Fantastic tour by an even more fantastic guide! We had such a wonderful time on our last day of the holiday. Nordeste is definitely the most beautiful part of the island, and we can’t recommend this tour enough. Thank you Hugo for making such an effort and turning this last day into a perfect one!

We were lucky enough to have this as a private tour. Rui was very knowledgeable, fun to talk with, and creative in setting a tour that filled the gaps in our knowledge of San Miguel. A very fun day, even given less than ideal weather. Highly recommended!
