Our tour guide Cynthia was wonderful. She took our photos. Made us feel comfortable. Bought us fruit and waters. Took us to a great restaurant where we had fried red snapper that was delicious.
We had the best experience. Of all the excursions, this was our favorite. Diana was wonderful. We absolutely loved her. Marvin was great and did a great job showing us how to ride the horses. We will definitely book again. Thank you for making our trip so amazing.
Was great fun. Our guide Diana did very well giving us tour of the Island. Had a lot of fun on horses and chocolate factory was really nice
Nesto was our tour guide and he was the absolute best! We enjoyed the private horseback ride. We went and enjoyed some fresh local chocolate and then went to the rum tour and enjoyed some nice drinks there. I definitely recommend this tour and request Nesto if you can!
Rudy our driver was very knowledgeable and informative of all the area Horseback riding was GREAT!!!! The
Great excursion! Our driver and guide, Tyler, was exceptional. The tour of the island , horseback riding along the beach, rum and chocolate tasting, and the views made the tour very worthwhile. Highly recommend this tour and ask for Tyler.
Julio was our local guide. He was very flexible and even though our ship arrived late and then had to tender us to the port, he was patiently waiting for us and we were still able to see everything we wanted to. The horseback ride was a fun, short ride. The horses needed no guidance as they were well trained and very tame. My partner did not want to do the horseback riding part so they were able to wait in the air conditioned souvenir shop while I was on the ride. From there, we went to the chocolate factory and then the rum factory. I absolutely loved the chocolate factory and bought chocolate bars, powder, cocoa tea, soap and cocoa butter to take home. We drove through the small town and when I saw an item in a store window that I wanted, Julio parked so that I could run in and get it. He also took us to two different large Roatan signs and took pictures of the two of us. We also stopped in another souvenir shop, at our request, before heading back to the port. Julio did also offer to take us to two different animal preserves for just the cost of the admission fee, as we were passing them and had extra time, but we declined. We rode around in a little Honda Accord, just Julio and the two of us, for the entire tour. It was great to be able to go at our pace and to have a knowledgeable, polite, local guide. For those nervous about going through Viator and not the cruise ship, the directions they give you are super accurate. If it is crowded when you get to the final exit gate and people are just standing there clueless as they were when we went, just say excuse me and walk through the gate. There are guards there directing traffic and people but please do not be alarmed. There will be lots of commotion but the tour guide’s sign is very clear, professionally made and easy to see. Their uniforms also match the tour company name. After getting past that craziness, we felt 100% safe traveling with Julio and he was an excellent driver. We got back to the port with plenty of time to shop at the port if we wanted and to tender back to the ship. We were not rushed at all during any point on the tour. When we spoke to people on our ship who went on a tour through the cruise line to the chocolate factory, rum factory and through the little town as we did, they did not have a good experience and they were shocked when we told them about how well Julio treated us as our personal guide. I was happy to tell them all about Julio and Viator so that when they cruise again, they can book with confidence.
Sinthia was an amazing tour guide - very knowledgeable and accommodating! As she drove us around the island to our different stops, she shared a lot about island life. She even stopped for empanadas per our request! The horseback riding was a lot of fun! And the rum and chocolate stops were the perfect combination to wrap up our tour!
Our guide was great. The horseback riding was along a beach with the option of riding in the water a bit. We enjoyed the chocolate tasting quite a bit. It was nice to have our own private tour without worrying about driving or parking.
This tour with the horseback riding was always a dream and to have the opportunity was very satisfying.. Some of the reviews indicated that there was no experience riding and I was like great- because we never rode a horse before. Our guide Phil was amazing- after sorting out the logistics at the Port- the tour began and Phil was soo knowledgeable about ha home town and we enjoyed the trips to the chocolate and rum factories. The horses seemed very back riding was the highlight- our guide Marvin made the experience soo enjoyable- and the horses seemed very friendly and were very aware of their tasks. It made the experience soo enjoyable and memorable - that we are still talking about the trip
