Greetings! Welcome to Puerto Rico "The Island of Enchantement" When I was a 16 year old boy working in the Southwest of the island in the Municipality of "Lajas, La Parguera", I got my first car and drivers license and decided to get lost in the Island of Enchantment Puerto Rico. Ever since i've been piling up contacts, photos, directions, information and unique experiences to share with my friends. During those days it never crossed my mind that I would end up doing this for a living and to support my family as my main source of income but it came true after working in different hotels, restaurants all over the island, Meeting Planning and finishing up my bachelors degree in Tourism Arts at the Sacred Heart University in Santurce. Sincerely I have been very fortunate to be able to work on my own as a tour operator and tour guide becoming licensed by the Tourism Company of Puerto Rico. In my 48 years of age I believe that this beautiful paradise is a lot more than a small archipelago of islands and this is true thanks to our people, our customs, traditions and a very rich culture that makes us unique. We locals are in love with our island and is the reason why I wish to share how beautiful and interesting it is with everyone that visits. This web space is a service area more than anything else to all travelers and individuals that love to get away and find themselves in a different country and/or enjoying with family and friends while learning something new along the way. Please feel free to contact me or to ask any questions that comes to mind about my tours and Puerto Rico in general. Thank you very much! -Héctor C Tour Operator - Licensed by the Service Commission of Puerto Rico Tour Guide - Licensed by the Tourism Company of Puerto Rico CPR and First Aid - Licensed by the Red Cross Lifeguard Licensed by the US Coastguard program Puerto Rico Superhost

It was delightful to spend two days on two tours with Hector. His wide ranging knowledge and pleasant manner enhanced our trip so much. This tour to the south side was a nice change from the San Juan area. And he’s an excellent driver including tight spots and mountain roads!
Bob M.United States
This was our second tour with Hector. Prompt, courteous, flexible; his tours are designed for your group to get the ultimate experience of Puerto Rico. He knows all areas of the island, the history and you will be immersed in the culture. Even my 86 year old mother enjoyed the tour.
Reay M.Canada
We had been in San Juan before and wanted to get away from the crowds and the city. Hector did exactly as requested and we had a marvellous day exploring a different part of the island. On our return to San Juan we were able to drive through the city centre and remember the sites we had seen on previous visits. An excellent day with Hector and we would certainly recommend him to anyone wanting to experience the city or outside - he is very flexible - he is a San Juan native. Reay Mackay

Hector was an amazing tour guide. He took us to our recommended Coastal Drive Puerto Rico. We ate delicious local food, fish & fruit, had great bread from bakery, went to lighthouse, went walking on beaches looking at amazing shells and saw some amazing ocean views. It was great that we had just our group of 4. We could stop and stay as long as we want without rushing. Hector was on time and a great driver. We would 100% recommend Hector. This tour was the highlight of our vacation. Thank you Hector!
Tammy K.United States
Hector was a wonderful guide in every way! He went above and beyond expectations. He is easy-going, knowledgeable, and a skilled driver. We greatly enjoyed our drive down the southeastern coastline, through villages with locals, houses, food and drink stands, and to beaches, wetlands, and the Punta Tuna lighthouse. Hector chose a great place for lunch; delicious seafood and an incredible Caribbean view! This tour shows you Puerto Rico outside of San Juan, and an experience you will always treasure!
Your San Juan tour itinerary
You'll enjoy a nice shore excursion with stops in "Cocales" beach, BO California and the Light House in Maunabo. All my tours are very flexible, ask the tour guide to design something custom made just for your party, for example you could spend some time in the wetlands in Maunabo, chasing the most beautiful sightseeing on the coast of Patillas or hike a secret beach. Spend more time at the Lighthouse and learn about the history of the area filled with pirate stories and caribbean charm. Your party will be able to taste the best seafood and have free time to visit our cultures famous landmarks while learning something new along the way.
