Fun and beautiful - Andres was a fabulous tour guide! Our safety was his number one priority- which I appreciate since we had our children with us on the tour. You need clothes and shoes that you don’t value as much because you will get wet and muddy, which they do a great job of describing prior to the tour. He is very knowledgeable of the island and the history of the island. I highly recommend this tour and to take the tour in a small group setting.

Excellent experience! Highly recommend! - Excellent tour experience! It was perfect for our family of 4. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared so much information about PR’s culture, food, landmarks and nature. At el Yunque, we felt safe and had such a great time. Because it is a smaller tour(max 6), it was very intimate and tour guide spent a lot of personalized time with us educating us about everything. Andrea was absolutely awesome🌟10/10 recommend!!

Definite must do in PR. Small group experience was great. - Andres was awesome! Very informative and easy to talk to. Took us away from the crowds and have us a real private experience. Waterfalls were beautiful. Very flexible guide. Andres personally was great and he seemed to know all the other guides who seemed great also. Hey an early start, we ran late cause of car issues but still beat the larger crowds. 5 or of 5 all day

Great adventure - This was a great tour to the rainforest. We were a little late getting off the cruise ship and our tour guide Stephanie couldn’t have been more accommodating. She waited for us and then took us on the hike, the natural slide, cliff jump and rope swing. She was very patient and custom adjusted the tour to fit our preferences and timeline. She took some great photos for us too. I highly recommend this tour for a fun afternoon and ask for Stephanie!

Pablo is the best…highly recommend this tour!! - Visiting the El Yunque rain forest was on my bucket travel list. It was an amazing place to see! So glad I booked a tour last week with this company —- just had 6 total people on tour. That small number provided a very personal experience for my daughter and I. The hike/muddy walk up the mountain and back down again was physically hard for me but the sights were great. The highlight of my trip was our guide Pablo. He said he escorts these type of tours 3 - 4 times a week. Book with him if you can! He physically helped the 65 year old me on the muddy walk/hike. I don’t think I would have made it without him. He held my arm, steadied me as we walked, and guided me to the least slippery ways to go. The others in the group were more physically fit than me and did fine. Pablo helped me get to the first stop with a beatiful pool of water to swim in. Then he guided those who wanted to go further on to a natural rock slide. My teenage daughter who wasn’t so sure she would do anything went down the slide, jumped off a cliff, and swang on a rope. Then Pablo pulled out fresh fruit and made a serving tray out of a giant leaf and we ate and rested in the shade. Highly recommend. Thank you Pablo for being such a strong and kind guide!!

The best experience ever. - It was an incredible experience! Andrés Vegas our tour guide, was super nice, he took the best videos and photos, not to mention the polite and attentive person he was. When I return to Puerto Rico I will definitely do this tour again. The service quality was truly exceptional, I can’t wait to come back.

Rainforest adventure with lunch - Our tour was fantastic. Carlos was our amazing guide! He picked us up at our hotel right on time and started with a very informative explanation of parts of Puerto Rico on our way to the rainforest. He was sure to take good care of us and our belongings the whole way. He was especially good about getting us in and out before the crowds arrived. We enjoyed a lovely lunch at luquillo Beach and he got us home right on time. Can’t recommend him and this tour enough. Thank you, Carlos.!

Don’t miss out on this fun and challenging experience - We went on the tour today with Mitchell and had THE BEST time. It was more challenging than we expected, but we were all able to do everything (including my 70 year old parents who are in pretty good shape). It was very muddy and slippery, but Mitchell directed us all very well and we felt confident. We all did the optional rock jumping, water slide and rope swing- definitely don’t miss out on these! Lunch afterwards at Frutera was delicious. We all highly recommend this tour- ask for Mitchell!
