5.00Jack, our English speaking tour guide, was amazing, as well as the driver. They showed up slightly earlier than scheduled. When found out that we were in the lobby waiting, they immediately picked us up and started the excursion. Though I didn’t realize when booking that this would be a private tour. They communicated about the $22/pp boat ride beforehand so there was no surprises. Jack also suggested us to take the canal ride which was $11/boat and fit up to 2 ppl. The entire experience was magical and you really got to get a glimpse of how people live. Jack was also helpful in answering all kinds of questions. Would definitely use him again for tours!

3.00For people reading this review and to avoid what happened to us , this tour is for when is rainy season , otherwise you will walk through the village and I was expecting to view the village by boat . Also there was no manglares to see as they were dry . So if you don’t mind taking a tour that will not meet your expectations just go in dry season as it is interesting to see the village and also the boat ride in the lake. The tour guide was very nice and accommodating as it was not his fault BUT if I had read somewhere what to expect in dry season I would had not book it Totally recommended in rainy season (I think 🤷♀️)
Great trip
