Reviews
William Fiero recommends BIRDING PUERTO RICO.

It's a real treat when you meet someone as a guide but leave as a friend. That's exactly what happened with our 5 day birding tour with Hilda!
Lovely local hotels, lots of good conversation, and especially birds. Hilda knew just where to go to locate the endemics and many island
specialties in the different habitats on the island. My wife and I had a fabulous time and would recommend Birding Puerto Rico without
hesitation. Wonderful week!

Hilda is an excellent guide. She knows her birds both by sound and sight. She is personable and took good care of my needs. She knows the
areas where she takes birders extremely well. It is also obvious that she is highly respected by the people at the various hotels and restaurants
where we stayed and dined. One gets the bonus that she also knows the flora of Puerto Rico. I agree with the other reviewer "William" that I
started as a client and left as a friend.
