Great experience! We... - Great experience! We were picked up at our hotel, on time.
Very clean and comfortable vehicle. Our tour guide, Ivan, was so knowledgeable and fun! He made every part of the tour and history come alive. It's great to have someone who truly loves what he does and know the history well as a tour guide.
We saw Old San Juan, Loiza, ate typical PR food, went through El Yunque, got pictures with a waterfall, and a cave. And all tour long we got to learn more and more about PR and its culture.
Highly recommend Ivan and this tour. We loved it!

Let Me Show You My Island Tour w/ Visit to El Yunque - My family and I enjoyed an excellent tour with Hector. We took this tour on my mom's 60th birthday as a group of 7, ages ranging from 20s-80s. Everyone in our family loved the tour and continued to talk about it for the rest of the day. It was absolutely one of our highlights! Hector truly loves the experiences he provides sharing his beautiful island with his guests, and he goes above and beyond to make this a special experience. By the end of the tour you feel like family with him. This tour was perfectly paced, and I felt like we covered a substantial part of the island. Even though it was a driving experience, you do have opportunities to get out stretch your legs, have lunch, do a little shopping, and see the sights. However, it is not too much walking for those who are concerned about that, and you can stay in the van if you wish during stops. We started in Old San Juan, then went to Loiza, where we enjoyed lunch and where my mom was serenaded with a lively happy birthday song facilitated by Hector! There were a group of students who were also in the restaurant with us and when they saw we were singing happy birthday they joined in, which was so sweet and clearly a reflection of the welcoming and communal spirit of the country. We stopped by a cavern and ended in El Yunque National Forest before making our journey back to San Juan where we were dropped off at our hotel. I really can't say enough good things about the experience Hector provides as more keeps coming to mind as I'm typing (like how he surprised my sister with quenepas from a local vendor when she asked him about the fruit). I highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to see and learn about this beautiful island. Thank you Hector!

Best Tour Ever! - This tour was phenomenal, and well worth the money. Our guide, Alicia, was a wealth of information who gave us a comprehensive tour of the entire island and was able to answer every question. She was extremely accommodating with my mother, who needed extra restroom stops, and amazing with my kids. She even helped them climb up on the rocks by the waterfall and helped us with photos. The tour was in a van with much less walking than many other tours, and I absolutely recommend it without reservation to anyone visiting the island. Even my kids (9 and 14) loved it, and they were able to maintain attention for the 7 hours that we were on the tour. Amazing!

Wonderful - for English speakers - An incredibly informative and involved tour. Ivan is clearly respectful and proud of his homeland and his passion is infectious. The tour serves as a way to learn a little bit about everything, from history to music to medicine to agriculture - you name it, he told us about it. My family and I took this tour on our first day of a 5 day trip, and it gave us a good glance at the general area with good tips of what to expect during our stay here.
*However* - the only criticism I have here that people should keep in mind: I booked this trip having noted that I requested Spanish language. I am in Puerto Rico with my family who do not speak English, and bought the ticket for this having noted Spanish language. We arrived to the tour and Ivan only spoke English. Given that the rest of the group were English speakers (and I assume most American tourists), and that Ivan only has so much time to get through so much, he was unable to accommodate any Spanish language rendition of the tour. I would not have booked this had I known my parents would not be able to participate, as I specifically booked this having noted a Spanish language selection. I recommend that it be made clear AHEAD OF TIME that this experience only accommodates English speakers.
Again, this is an excellent and wonderful experience. But it is not made for Spanish speakers, unfortunately. This needs to be made clear.

The Perfect Comprehensive Tour! - This was honestly THE PERFECT TOUR! We learned so much about the history, culture, food, geography, and flora & fauna of Puerto Rico in a fun and engaging manner while on tour with Ivan, our incredibly personable and knowledgeable guide. The tour takes you into the El Yunque rainforest, but allows for time to experience other aspects of being in Puerto Rico, so it is a must-do if you have limited time. We also felt it was a good value, considering all we saw and did!

A little bit of everything - Great tour! The tour guide gave us lots of history about San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the people. Toured the city by van. A little walking but not too much. They picked us up at the hotel and dropped us off there. Visited the surrounding area of el Morro, past by Cristobal Fort, visited a cavern and learned about the indigenous Tainos, past by the Beach, ate at the town of Loiza (very yummy) ate a little bit of everything, light shopping next door, visited el Yunke, took pictures at the tower of the beautiful paradise with city, mountains, and sea all in one shot and returned to the hotel thoroughly happy with the tour!
