Manny was the best guide on such a beautiful day trip into the mountains to swim by the waterfalls, visit a local market and have delicious local foods. He was super knowledgeable and fun and made for a great day with friends.

We had a wonderful day at the waterfalls. We started out in the morning in a local village, where we had a breakfast quesadilla, tried some local mezcal, and headed out on the drive to the waterfalls. Once we hiked up to the cave, we cooled off in the refreshing water, then went inside and down to the swimming hole, where we took some nice photos. Then we tried traditional Oaxacan food for lunch before heading back. Thanks, Mani!

This was one of the best tours I’ve ever taken! I’ve been to the falls many times and have appreciated every trip - guided and self guided alike, but this one with Mani was over the top! It was a no rush, breath deeply, educational tour in nature that was unexpectedly brilliant!! We left at 8:30, home by about 4:30 - still talking about it! I’ve booked Mani for a falls tour for my Grand kids coming next and we are catering this one more towards the kids. That’s the beauty of his private personalized tours, it’s all about his client’s experiencing this beautiful place to the fullest! A true professional!

Best tour guide I have experienced! Mani started the day picking us up promptly at 8:30am (in his beautiful and clean Toyota van) we had a full day with him with drop off at 4:00. He cultivated a private tour where we met with some local families and learned the culture as well as the food. Our tour of the falls was impressive and Mani catered to our every whim throughout the day. Mani is knowledgeable, fun and an impeccable host, could not recommend him higher!

Another amazing adventure with Mani, this time to the Las Brisas waterfalls for a private tour! Mani is so informative and passionate about everything in and around Huatulco. We learned alot about the culture during our drive up to the waterfalls. Two great meals of local Oaxacan food were some of the best meals we had during our vacation. The waterfalls were breathtaking, and we were able to trek through the chilly waters into a cavern behind the waterfall. As Mani would say, it is more than a tour, it is an experience! We will always highly recommend our friend Mani for tours or transportation. We look forward to booking with him next time we arrive in Huatulco!

From start to end, Mani was superb. We traveled with a group of eleven of us to the Oxaca city and Huatulco area. Having Mani as a guide made all the difference in the world. His knowledge of the area, people, food and above all history was second to none. Mani was extremely respectful, friendly and helpful. He is a certified guide and takes his work seriously yet he made sure we all had a blast!! This message is not only to recommend Mani but also to congratulate him for his work!!
