This tour was the perfect...

5.00This tour was the perfect way to get a feel for all the beauty and history of El Yunque National Forest. Fernando was a wonderful guide with a wealth of information. He made sure we got to see the best sites and also provided so much history that it gave us a better appreciation for the area and for Puerto Rico as a whole. I was grateful that there were plenty of stops for photo ops and that we had access to water and restrooms and even stopped at a roadside food stand for snacks. Swimming in the river was a great ending to the day. I highly recommend this tour!!

4.00Comfortable ride with a knowledgeable guide to a beautiful park. However, to make it perfect little sandwiches and Coke and Diet Coke sodas would be nice.
Easy walk around the rainforest, great views

5.00Christian our tour guide was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and informed us about the sites and rainforest. The tower offered amazing views and the waterfalls were beautiful. This was a low impact trail which was good for the level we wanted.

5.00Eli was an excellent guide and we loved visiting the rain forest. We saw some unique plants, small creatures, water features, and buildings. The lunch spot was quite tasty as well. The only thing not our preference was there was much less walking than we expected. We hoped for minimum two miles through the forest and maybe walked a quarter mile total.

5.00This was a ship excursion we did through Royal Caribbean. It was a 5-hour tour that included a hike through the Rain Forest with a trip to the beach afterwards. Eli, our tour guide was great. He was very informative and entertaining.
Great large group experience

5.00We brought a group of 100 Highschool students and chaperones to Puerto Rico. Alejandro at RST worked with us to curate a plan for our large group. We were able to experience the beauty of the rainforest and Luquillo beach and its kiosks. Our drivers and tour guides were wonderful. Highly recommend working with RST.
Disappointed

1.00Book the tour a few months before and the day before the tour was cancelled because there were not enough people on the tour. I did not visit the Anvil for selecting this type of excursion. If the reservation requires a minimum of people, it is not worth risking.
Wonderful experience!

5.00This tour was perfect for us. Our driver/ tour guide drove us through part of the Rainforest and we stopped at the observation tower and climbed to the top to see spectacular views. Then we went to a beautiful waterfall and took pics. Next we went to the visitor’s center. Then on to a hike in the rainforest and a visit to the river where we were allowed to swim, jump off ledges into the river and swing on a rope and jump into the river. Our guide was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We got to know some very nice people. It was a very good tour.

5.00We booked a Rainforest Tour during our stay in Old San Juan and had Raphael as our driver/tourguide. We have been on many tours and excursions but this one was exceptional. I think Raphael may have been the best guide we have ever encountered. He was friendly, considerate and knowledgeble, we enjoyed him considerably.
