Amazing private tour experience. - We were really happy to spend the day with our guide, Jose. The car was very comfortable and that he picked us up on time. We really liked the rainforest and then the beach with very delicious national food. We really recommend.

AMAZING! - We took our family on the rainforest slide and beach tour. It was amazing! It was one of the only excursions I could find that would allow our 8 month old grand baby. But it certainly didn’t disappoint. Our guide Hernan was fantastic. He was patient, flexible and made sure we hade a great time. The water slide was not busy at all when we were there and the younger kiddos said it was the best part of our trip. I am pretty sure one of them went down the slide at least 100 times in the time we were there! The beach was equally amazing! It was so calm and the water was so clear. The beach was lined with so many places to eat and drink. There were choices that worked for all of us. A very nice way to end the trip. Would definitely recommend, especially for larger groups because there is something for everyone to enjoy! Thanks for the great experience!

Will do it again! - The driver Jose was amazing. He stopped at the beach. Then took it to a local place to eat delicious food! Then took us to the yunque. He always made sure we walked the safe path and always guided us. I would definitely recommend him and I'm definitely coming back!

Highly recommend for families who want a little of everything - Our tour guide Catherine was so thoughtful and accommodating. She kept a close eye on us during our short hike through the forest to and from the water slides, was super knowledgeable about the areas we explored, and had tons of great recommendations for good and drinks. This was a great tour for both our slightly adventurous 7 year old girl and our 16 year old boy who easily gets bored. We had the best time.

Fun Day Tour - A private tour is definitely the way to go. Our tour guide was Luís. Luís made it a fun and adventurous day for us. He was knowledgeable about Puerto Rico’s history. The sites were pleasant to get to, and the very short hike to El Yunque Natural water slide was manageable, even for these half-century old knees. We enjoyed food kiosk-hopping at Luquillo beach, and the “gasolina” drinks we enjoyed at el Jibaro were delicious! Overall, we enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend Luis as your guide. The only recommendation I suggest is to extend the length of time allowed for the tour, and to include more interesting stops along the way.

Crappy Tour - RIP OFF AVOID AT ALL COSTS - The guide picked us up (a family of four adults) from our hotel in a Suzuki Aveo (sub-compact) to drive us one hour to El Yunque. We were cramped and uncomfortable to say the least. Then he took the longest route to get there despite using Google Maps but not following the recommended routes. I had a hunch that it was because (i) he did not have a transponder for the toll road, which is the quickest route to get there, and (ii) he confessed he had never done this tour so he was learning at our expense. Then, after the long uncomfortable ride there, we parked at a private lot run by a local family that lived there. The guide then asked me pay $5 for parking and $5 for our party (meaning us four - my family - and $1 for the guide) who had no idea where the slide was and the best spots to enjoy the water slide and pools. Then, after a few times on the slide, he drove us using Google Maps to an area for lunch but could not find the restaurant. By this time my wife and I had enough. We were ready to skip lunch and go to the beach. Again, this guide did not know where he was going and took the long way to get us to Luquillo Beach despite Google Maps offering him a shorter/faster route. When we got to the gate to go to the beach, he looked at us to pay for admission for the car to go down to the beach. At that point, my wife and I decided to cut the tour short and go back to the hotel. The drive back was silent and uncomfortable to say the least. I paid $500 plus dollars for the worst tour of my life. I am disputing the charges with my credit card provider because the tour operator/Viator are scoundrels.
