Visit to suchitoto - Alfredo the tour guide was great, super nice and helpful with everything, I just wish we got to see more of the surrounds of the little city, especially because the intended stops were closed on a Monday

Great tour of Suchitoto with Alfredo - Alfredo was a wonderful guide! He shared a lot of information about the history of the area and answered all of my many questions. He helped me find a specific item I wanted to bring home, taught me some new camera tricks, and made sure I was hydrated. He also gave me some suggestions for things to do near my hotel. I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Alfredo!

Excellent trip to Suchitoto - The tourist guide is friendly and knows the subject matter very well well. He has been very patient in explaining the history of the country to me, past and present. He is also very considerate in allowing me to take a quick lunch as I did not eat much in my breakfast.

Great Guide - This trip was great to see Suchitoto, and the guide, Alfredo, made it all the better. I had an issue getting cash out of the ATM, and the driver personally dropped me off at two different ATM locations to try to get cash. I ended up having to go to a different bank, and he even returned by car to ensure I was OK-hours after the tour ended. Overall, amazing experience and highly recommend to anyone considering.
