    I have nothing but good things to say about Myrllam. She was inclusive, engaging, well versed about PR, wildly interesting, and a GREAT person. Came solo, ended up being 3 different groups in total, and Myrllam instantly had us connecting the dots between us. Perfect balance of history and the fun stuff. If you have the option, book with her.

    This was a fun and great experience! Our guide Arnel was patient, took time to make sure everyone was ok along the hike and communicated all details/updates for the tour. Being a smaller group was nice. We got a lot of great photos and videos. Definitely an experience worth doing and El Yunque is beautiful.

    Arnel was a GREAT guide. He gave a lot of good information about the rainforest and the history of it. He also made sure everyone was safe and stepped in areas that people were less likely to fall. He took a lot of great videos and photos and made the experience as a whole worth doing again.

    We had a wonderful tour of El Yunque! It was on of the highlights of our Puerto Rico trip. Michael was a phenomenal tour guide! Very knowledgeable of the rainforest flora/ fauna and kept us laughing and safe the whole way. There were multiple opportunities to swim, slide, and jump! You will get head to toe wet, so bringing grippy shoes and a change of clothes is a must. We had a blast! 10/10 would recommend this tour.
