Some Tips For Your Puerto Rico Guided Tours

By Mary Burns


Right now you have landed on this article because there is a very big possibility that you are planning a vacation for some place warmer and possibly more tropical. Some of your friends have suggested a Puerto Rico guided tours vacation and this seems to be a good idea for you at this moment. Before you do make any final plans for this trip, it may be a good idea to finish off this article first.

As this is a decision that will involve the spending of time and money, two very important resources, then a checklist is definitely required. A checklist is something that will help you keep track of important things related to your search for an informed decision.

First thing you must include in your checklist as basically top priority will be your travel documents. Make sure that your passport has more than six months validity to avoid any immigration issues, and that you have a valid visa if there is a request for such. In addition to give you peace of mind, reconfirm all your plane and hotel bookings at least three days in advance.

Since you will be taking a guided tour, it is fairly logical to assume that you will be dealing with tour operators of some sort. Ensure that you only deal with ones who are properly licensed and accredited by governing bodies. In dealing only with legal entities you protect yourself further should something go wrong later on.

The next thing to look at when choosing a guided tour is the quality of the tour guide also. The tour guide must not only be presentable and well groomed, but be well informed as well. He or she must have impeccable skills in English as well, as this will be the general language spoken by most tourists the world over.

Should you really be thinking of getting a guided tour package in Puerto Rico, then there are basically two general categories to choose from. This will depend on whether you want to stay in the towns and cities and enjoy local history and culture there or you can go out into the rural areas and enjoy the natural wonders the country has to offer. You can of course enjoy both urban and rural offerings, just make sure that you allocate enough days for it.

Price is definitely something that you should also look at to finally make you decide on which tour package to take. In general, package tours that have larger groups of people are in general cheaper than smaller and more specialized or customized group tours. Likewise pricing will also depend on the month or season, as well as dependent on prevailing demand and supply conditions.

Finally do pack appropriately for the trip and leave all heavy clothing behind. Bring along only light tropical wear, preferably made out of cotton, as well as plenty pf mosquito lotion and sunblock. During the tours that you participate in, ensure that you bring along a lot of water to maintain hydration.
