Prior To Your Booking 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.

Prior to any binding and lasting commitment you want to make, then it is a good idea to make a checklist first. As this is a decision that will involve spending money then having a checklist is a good idea. A checklist will assist in keeping track of important things and also serves as a reminder.

On top of your checklist must be an item related to your travel documents, such as your passport, airline tickets, and even hotel bookings. Make sure that all your documents are in order and you also have the necessary visa as applicable in entering Puerto Rico. Ensure that your passport has more than six months validity on the day of your trip at least so you will not have any issues with immigration officers later on. Reconfirm your plane tickets as well as your hotel bookings at least three days ahead so you can have additional peace of mind.

When going on a guided tour, you will be dealing with a tour operator of some sort. In this regard, only go for those operators who have the proper accreditation licensing from the appropriate agencies and authorities. In this way, you can have legal recourse should something go wrong during your tour with them.

Next thing for you to consider in choosing a guided tour service will basically be the quality of the tour guide who will be conducting the tour. Apart from being well versed in local history and customs, he or she must be able to communicate well in English and be amiable as well.

Should you really wish to push through with taking guided tours in Puerto Rico, there are two general categories to choose from. One will be located mostly in the city and urban areas to give you a taste of local cultural, historical and commercial activity. The other category will involve you going out into the rural areas and partake more of the natural wonders that the country has to offer. Whatever your poison just make sure you allot enough time 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.

And of course for the final part of your checklist is what to bring. Do pack light and bring only light clothes made of cotton and breathable material, for you will be in a tropical country after all. Also make sure you bring a lot of water for your tours as well as plenty of sunblock and mosquito lotion if you are able.
