Private tour that can be customized. Loved going to the West End and walking the area. The Rusty Fish is a must see and enjoyed the funky monkey drink at Bean Crazy. Everyone very friendly and welcoming including our guide, Jason. He knows alot about Roatan.
Unique customized visit to West End. Once we met with driver and went over our expectations and desires, they were happy to accommodate our wishes. Private car and guide. Shopping, cocoa factory, rum distillery, local food and bars on the beach. So friendly. Highly recommend! Daisy was so sweet and fun!
Mario was a great host. It was nice that it was just my wife and I and not having to be in a bus full of people.
Great tour Jason was very passionate, informative and adjusted the tour for our interests. He also had a good lunch suggestion.
This was a wonderful option to see the island. Our tour guide gave us a personalized tour and had amazing info about the local details. We felt very safe and enjoyed every area we went to.
We were with Dani for the majority of the tour and he did an excellent job of taking us to do what we wanted that was not necessarily part of the preplanned tour. Some of the bigger changes to the itinerary cost extra, but it was worth it. He also dropped us off at the beach so we could enjoy that instead of heading back directly to the cruise port. He coordinated with one of his several drivers, Jayson, to take us to the port from the beach. All of the guides from Dani's Roatan Tour Guide Association are fully aware of all the cruise arrivals and departures and made sure we got everywhere on time. I highly recommend having Whatsapp since it is very easy to communicate pickup from the port since it is hectic there.
We had an amazing time with Dani! He basically let us make the tour our own. We visited all the spots listed and also made local stops for food and drinks. He showed us his personal favorite restaurants, bars, and stores. It was an amazing day!
RTGA was amazing! The instructions and communication for meeting/pickup point were clear and easy to follow. We enjoyed our time exploring the city and seeing local spots to enjoy. It was an amazing time and if we find ourselves back in Roatan we’ll be booking with RTGA!
Although we were looking forward to meeting Dani, our tour guide Mario did a great job. He was there to meet us after we disembarked the ship. He was informative, stayed with us as we shopped and helped us choose Roatan souvenirs. We highly recommend this tour company. Thank you Dani and Mario!
We had an absolute amazing time. PABLO wasa fantastic tour guide. His recommendations were spot on. He advocated for us to get access to menus not usually given to cruise tourist. The art gallery gorgeious. The shell art academy was breathtaking and the boat ride was relaxing with a stunning view. I highly recommend RTGA
