Our tour guide Mario did a great job! - 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!

Beautiful, fun, informative, personable, custom curated and relaxing - 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

Best Valentine’s Day Gift - I had booked a cruise and noticed that they offered a tour to the Roatan Chocolate Factory. My husband teaches a Chocolatier Class so I was super excited to book this only to discover it was fully booked up and we could not get into the tour group…win/win for us. I found the same tour on Viator so I booked it through them instead. I mentioned that I really didn’t care if we did any other part of this tour as I wanted the Chocolate Factory portion of it for us. Because it was just my husband and I, we were able to spend more than the 15 minutes allowed with the cruise line tour. We had a wonderful day with Guilermo as our guide and Daniel (Dani) talked with my husband and answered his questions. My husband told me this day was the highlight of his trip. Thanks Guilermo and Dani for the wonderful memories. It was the perfect Valentine’s Day gift. Hopefully we will be able to return to Roatan again one day.

Absolutely Wonderful! - I had a wonderful time with Dani! I booked the West End on Viator on a Sunday evening and on Monday morning Dani texted me about doing the tour that afternoon. I was blown away by how quick he responded. I had a blast on the West End tour seeing the Chocolate Factory, Rum Factor, the Roatan sign and the shopping. Dani also took me to a local food shop for pupusas---so yummy! Dani is an interesting person to talk to and made me feel very welcomed. His communication is wonderful, texting me when he was running late (he picked me up at my hotel).
I enjoyed the West End tour so much I then booked the snorkeling tour, also at the last minute. I was snorkeling in the east end and wanted to snorkel in the west end so I texted Dani and he immediately responded that he was available that afternoon. He arranged a taxi to pick me up and off we went. The snorkeling was fabulous and Dani even took pictures that he shared with me. I loved my time with Dani and can't say enough good things about him. I will definitely recommend him as a tour guide in Roatan.

Highly Recommend Roatan Tour Guide Association - Daniel was amazing and saved our day! A day filled with rain had us in a bad mood but Daniel’s Roatan Tour Guide Association came through for us. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly trustworthy.
We toured, visited a chocolate factory, a rum company and got introduced to some new cuisine for lunch that was amazing!
We highly recommend using Roatan Tour Guide Association if you are ever in Honduras.

Just do it, you wont regret, and enjoy! - It was great to be with Daniel for this tour, any, and all tours with him would be fine with us! My son and I visited and had the best time! Chocolate factory was awesome, everything was! I bought a hammock, and another Souvenir, and Daniel just draped it over his arm, and off to the next place we went!! I didn't ask him, he just did it. The small things sure mean a lot! We had no idea it would be a private tour, even better! He's very knowledgeable of everything, and had several really good stories too. This tour is well worth the money.
Taking another cruise in 3 weeks, not to Honduras, but still, going to see whats up, cuz tours is his specialty, obviously. And, btw, you can tell Daniel what you like, and he can adjust the tour, where its really, really the stuff you like! It was already great.
Perfect day.

Roatan Tour our way! - We really enjoyed Roatan. Our guide Dani was very helpful and gave us the option to do our own thing. We snorkeled, had a relaxing day at the west end beach then finished the tour with chocolate! This is a must do if your visiting.

Book this 5 Star Tour! - First off the communication was wonderful, I was emailed by Dani about the trip before and during my cruise and that made things way more comfortable. Once we exited the terminal we saw the big sign with the red flower and Dani introduced himself and our guide Nahomi. This was a private tour and it was awesome! Nahomi had so much knowledge to impart to us about the Island and she was very personable. We heard stories from her which had us laughing, it really was like a trip to an island with your friend showing you around. There was no rushing we went at our own pace so things we loved we stayed longer. I feel like she knew everyone in West End. If you have the chance take this tour with either Dani or Nahomi you won't be disappointed.

Amazing and safe tour of West End - We had the BEST time with Dani. We were trying to make the most of our rainy day in Roatan and Dani helped us do just that. He picked us up from our hotel right on time with a very clean car to travel around the island. He has extensive knowledge on the the chocolate factory, the entire process from growing cacao to the packaging of the chocolate. He also adds in very interesting information on the history of Honduras.
We had a wonderful lunch at a local restaurant, visited local businesses, and really enjoyed experiencing Honduran culture.
We had a great tour of West End and some other great spots in Roatan. A few of the usual attractions were closed and Dani found other amazing substitutes for our adventure.
We can’t recommend this tour enough. If you’re looking for an authentic guide, a fun and safe tour and a very genuine local perspective, please look no further.
Thanks Dani!
