We booked this tour last... - We booked this tour last minute after another one canceled on us and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Hector. It ended up being only 4 people all together which was lovely. Hector shared his love of PR with us. After the tour, we had a much better grasp on the city and sights we wanted to revisit. Highly recommend!

Amazing! - We had a blast on our tour! Gonzo was our guide and he was amazing. We ended up being the only people on the tour and Gonzo made it so special! We loved the cave, Piñones stop, and El Yunque. Definitely recommended!

We'll be back! - This tour was perfect for a single mom traveling alone for the first time with a toddler! Ali is so welcoming I felt like family. My daughter took to Ali very well, held hands, and played hide and seek with her! We saw it all, from old San Juan to the capital, then to the real neighborhood to get some authentic Puerto Rican food, and then to El Yunque.

Good overall orientation to PR - Gonzo was a very nice guy! His love for PR was evident. In just one day we were able to see sites from Old San Juan to the rainforest.

Charm of a city!!! - Driver is very knowledgeable of the city. He is obviously a chef from all of the Puerto Rican recipes he shared with us. Tour ended 1 hour early which was fine with us but don’t know why. What did we missed? Also spend a little more time at the bodega so everyone can finish their meal. Thank you

Good time - Learned and lot and enjoyed the views. Great if you’re looking for a thorough history lesson and taste of PR. We saw a lot of major attractions. Would book a shorter one if I could do it again as this one was about 5 hrs. Loved stopping for local street food. It was delicious!

The highways of Puerto Rico - We basically saw very little. Sure the waterfall was pretty but not impressive at all. A rain forrest that left no impression on me at all. We stopped in Loiza but saw very little of this town at all. Ok, there was a shallow cave there. The guide kept talking but people couldn't stay awake.
