Dear Guest My name is Hector Medina, I am a Specialist of a Private Bilingual Tour Guiding. Long ago, I worked for a Big Tour Operator doing a great job guiding different kind of tourist personalities. One day a cool tourist with his wife requested an uncommon private tour for a half day, but, in the absence of this kind of service, my ex boss asked me if I wanted to do it, obviously, I said YES. So thanks to my Sympathy, Good Mood and Good Bilingual Communication, Dr. William Merlin of New Jersey, (U.S. Guest) said…”Let´s continue for the rest of the day and He advised me to create my own business offering “Very Personal and Leisurely Tours”. It's really what I love to do, so since 2005 I have been doing it very happy. In 2006 I was hired by Mr. Robert Friedman, a businessman from California, USA, only for a half-day tour, but at the end of it he told me ... “Let´s continue throughout the day ..." and then next day and so on ..." We were Touring around for 5 consecutive days . Mr. Friedman, as a businessman, woke up the idea that I can also perform services with a “100% Flexibility” where my guests have the opportunity to know, visit, watch what they are really interested for and do not follow those boring tour circuit packages without culture, friendship, flexibility into a bus of 30-40 people guided by a guy who speaks a broken English. Even losing those interested, wonderful and charming spots a cause of a Big Bus Size. With the above, I want to transmit you that ... I and my Partner Guides won´t be only your guide, We will also be your Host, Friend, Protector, Adviser, Translator, Driver, Tour Coordinator, etc. making you feel very comfortable and save far away from your home.
