My name is Tomas A licensed tour guide by the federal government of the country of Mexico with a background of being a native Zapotec from the state of Oaxaca. I started as a tour guide in 2010 in Bahias de Huatulco, located in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico right of the coastline of the Pacific ocean. I have spent the last five years scouting and creating unique experiences in the heart of Huatulco to ensure that your trip will be unforgettable. My experiences promote educational, cultural, rural and sustainable tourism as well as generate economic opportunity for the people of the region in which I work. My outings are not tours in the traditional sense but rather a day with a unique experience on the beach, waterfalls, turtle sanctuary or in the rural community. I offer to my clients an insider's view of Oaxaca, as a native Zapotec from Teotitlan del Valle who is also a certified professional tour guide. I combine my knowledge of history, culture and local communities with a deep respect for my Zapotec heritage and traditions. I bring to my clients closer to the real Oaxaca and I love sharing my personal perspective with them on trips through Bahias de Huatulco and local destinations in the cost line of Oaxaca state and in the central valley. Federal authorized Guide License license plates and I have a federal driver's license General knowledge of the Zapotec language First Aid Training None

We took the tour from Crucecita to the Turtle Sanctuary at Playa Escobilla, with a stop at a family-owned chocolate business. Absolutely fabulous!! Tomas is top notch! Very nice, big van, with AC and bottled water. He was informative, friendly, encouraged questions and we had a lot. Releasing the baby turtles was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommend this or any of his tours. We will be recommending him to friends.

Excellent tour. Tomas was very professional and we enjoyed everything we did from there chocolate factory to the wildlife park but our favorite thing was the turtle release. We had no idea what to expect and we were very lucky to get to release about 300 baby turtles. They were hatching while we were on the beach and it was an experience of a lifetime. We release this dozen;t happen everyday but glad it happened when we were there. Tomas was very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!!

We had an amazing day with Tomas V, everything about the tour was perfect! Tomas is a very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and patient guide and his English is excellent. Our experience releasing the sea turtles in Huatulco was a highlight of our whole trip to Central America. Tomas explained everything so well and he was very happy to answer any questions we had throughout the day. At no point did we feel rushed when he took us to the various places of interest. We highly recommend Tomas for your tour!
