Pints del Este

German was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and his binder with visual information was very helpful to cement his talking points. We learned so much. He made us glad we came to PDE in the off season! Highly recommended!

Great experience!

Germán, our guide, was incredibly attentive and kind. My fiancée and I were the only ones on the tour, and he still made sure to go ahead with it, which we really appreciated. He was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and gave us great tips on places to visit and things to do. His English is excellent—he lived in the United States for several years.
