My name is Jimmy and I'm the oldest out of four kids. I'm 49 years old and I've always been a people person. I started in the tourism industry about 25 years ago. At the time I drove for someone and I thought it would be something temporary but I was wrong. I felt so comfortable meeting new people everyday and sharing my beautiful island's resources , landscapes and sights that I ended up going independent. I started with one Taxi and today although I'm a one man operation I also have a tour van and recently I bought a luxury SUV. I love working with small groups and families so I can give my guests personalized service and attention. I'm not known to do the touristy thing, I go where the locals go on their time off and eat where locals eat. I also customize my tours if requested. With me people always get a memorable experience. Being a one man operation lets me control the quality of my services. When you call or write to me I'll be the one answering it and no one else. I always try to answer emails and calls promptly. Come on a tour or sightseeing trip with me, you won't regret it. I'm a certified tour guide by the Tourism Company of Puerto Rico with aproximitly 25 years of experience. I can speak English and Spanish fluently and know a lot of great spots around the island where you can enjoy yourself and experience how locals live and do things. I don’t know how to swim . No eating is allowed in the vehicle so you must make sure you have a good breakfast before we start the tour. No pets or service dogs are allowed on board because I’m allergic to dogs or cats.
