When we got to the pier area, our tour guide was there to meet us and take us "away from the chaos." It was a short ride from the tender dock to the town and the beginning of a great day. Despite the rough start, the day turned out great. Our guide was a gentleman named Gil Serique (www.gilserique.com). He is a naturalist and a historian and if anyone is looking for a private tour, we can’t recommend him highly enough.
