Easier El Yunque Tour for Kids and Seniors - There was a small hike to a waterfall that my grandmother and 4 yr old was able to do. Pedro and Juan made sure everyone was safe. Pedro did great with the kids on our tour and child adored him. I recommend it

Great family tour - What a fantastic tour! My family and I enjoyed the walk through the rainforest and the chance to swim in the river. Rafael was the best tour guide. He was very knowledgeable of the history, important events and plants throughout the tour. Highly recommend this tour.

Awesome tour… - Wow. Louie was the best tour guide I’ve ever had. He was funny, very friendly and he told us about everything. He didn’t miss a beat. I felt like he was my family. He played good music for us and he also made us feel at home. I give him 20 stars because he deserves it.
We love you Louie
Thank you for a fantastic tour

Amazing, extremely educational and fun - Rafael makes all the difference on this tour. It is a thorough and complete tour of the area with history being narrated by Rafael from the moment you leave your pick up location. I have to admit that it mademe angry when the other family that was with us left no gratuity for this man. People,please, come to this island to stimulate the economy ..stop looking for bargains..Yes, I know about the valued added tax and all that...You are on vacation here, you Sir/Ma'am are not poor. Be a blessing. Greetings from Florida!

Breathtakingly Beautiful Experience at El Yunque - We were picked up close to our airbnb which is so convenient! Rafael, our tour guide is a walking historian! We learned so much with him. He started our tour with a short hike leading to the river where we were given time to swim in the beautiful pristine water! Next we went further up the mountain in the tour van all while he explained everything we passed and more. He answered any questions with full history. We made up to the Yokahu observation tower, La Coca falls among other smaller stops. Overall a great first visit to El Yunque!

Disappointing “guided tour” - It’s supposed to be a guided , educational tour of the El Yunque National Forest in the designated stops.
Our guide was a nice kind, man but he did not act as a ‘tour guide’ as such.
He just accompanied us. That’s it.
Apart from two , three simple facts told by him, there wasn’t much info given about the flora & fauna or anything else.
In comparison , we saw the other guides giving a lot of lengthy info to their groups.
The stops are short and there is no hike. It’s just a bit of walking and looking around.
We could have stayed longer and learnt more with the online guide ,if we had rented our own car.
We expected more after paying for the guided tour. Disappointing.
Forest is beautiful though,
