A great highlight of our trip

5.00What a fun and relaxing day and our Guide/Driver Christian made the day extra special with his knowledge and sharing information about Puerto Rico and the outlook, falls, river, and beach we visited. Well worth the trip! We probably wouldn’t have visited these places on our own

5.00Our tour guide, Christian, went above & beyond. He made sure we had adequate amount of time at each site. He was incredibly knowledgeable. He gave us recommendations on where to eat & they did not disappoint. Everything was so great!
Late night canceled, no call

1.00I had booked this tour the afternoon of the day prior with the tour to go at 9am the next day. I happened to look at my phone early morning day off and saw that they had canceled my trip, sending an email around 11:45pm I believe because of low numbers. So no text or call or anything. As we are only here a short time, ruined our schedule for El Yunque. Extremely unprofessional.
Amazing

5.00Jonathan was the best tour guide ever. He gave us history about the island the moment we got into the van and all throughout the tour. We had an amazing time! Would definitely recommend him to everyone.
