Great day! - Diane was a great guide. Loved the hike….fun and not too strenuous. Stopped at a great place for an authentic lunch. The river stop was great, even if you just wanted to walk in to cool down. Very glad we took this adventure.

"Enchanting Puerto Rican Rainforest Exploration with the Fantastic Frankie!" - I had an amazing experience with Frankie as our tour guide in the Puerto Rican rainforest! His wealth of knowledge about the history and culture of Puerto Rico added depth to the journey. Frankie's humor made the tour enjoyable, and he even doubled as an excellent photographer. Truly a memorable and enriching adventure!

Great tour with guide Juan - Juan was our tour guide and he was excellent. I would recommend asking for him. He made the trip really fun. It started to rain halfway through the tour but Juan was able to complete the tour with us.

El Yunque with Diana - My sister and I went to El Yunque National Forest with tourguide Diana. She's the best! It's an interesting area for sure, but there was very little wildlife or natural life to see (so keep expectations in check). Nonetheless, we had fun traipsing along the trails, seeing the beautiful waterfall, and swinging on ropes into the cool water. Diana was really knowledgeable, enthusiastic and super funny. We went for AMAZING (seriously best ever) fruit smoothies and empanadas afterward. Highly recommend any tour with her.
