Top San Juan Private Sightseeing Tours - page 5

Angel and Annie took us first to Old San Juan, by the forts and through the historic cobblestone streets. We saw the original Spanish structures and learned their significance. Next was the expansion phase of the city out of its original walls centered on the Capitol. I didn't think I would find the 20th century expansion of the city as interesting, but Angel told us about the recent history of specific neighborhoods focusing on gentrification and the development of tourism, ending our tour at the modern convention center district. We enjoyed discussing his growing up in the city and what it is like to live there. A wonderful, personal two hours.

Our driver called ahead to let us know there was a protest in the streets and helped reschedule our tour for later in the day, which we really appreciated. It was a great heads-up and very accommodating. Our driver was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the town, which made the experience even better. We were able to take our time at each stop and never felt rushed. We were also traveling with three small children and a large stroller, and there were no issues at all. Everything was handled smoothly. Overall, it was a very convenient and pleasant experience.

The crew was amazing—Christian, Adrian, and the rest of the team were fantastic. The boat ride was easy and laid back, and the entire service was exceptional. The whole experience was something I’ll never forget, and I will definitely be doing it again!

My mom and I went on a sunset sail with Captain Ivan and had such a great time! Can’t beat being out on the water in a sailboat watching the sun go down with the salty wind on your face. Captain Ivan shared interesting history and recommendations with us. I will definitely do this again when I’m in Puerto Rico next time!

This boat tour came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. The ride was smooth and the harbor was beautiful as the sun set over it. But what really made it was the charm and enthusiasm of our crew and particularly Rafael who had us all clapping along to music and singing happy Birthday in Spanish. He pointed out the great sites, sprinkled in some history and made sure we all got just the right pictures. Highly recommend this tour.

We had an amazing time with Captain Jimbo! It was my birthday and he truly made me feel celebrated from start to finish. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience — especially getting the chance to drive the boat, which was definitely a highlight. Everything was fun, smooth, and memorable. When I come back in the near future, I will absolutely be booking again. 10/10 — highly recommend!

Ferry passage was long. After we disembarked, first stop was Tamarindo beach for snorkeling. You can go along with the group or you can do your own snorkeling. Next stop is Flamenco beach for great food, drinks, souvenirs, and sun bathing. Beautiful beach! They provide chairs and umbrellas. You spend most of your time here enjoying the day. The crew was very polite and friendly. Tito was excellent. Snorkeling instructor was very patient and detailed. We had a spectacular day.

El Yunque was an incredible experience! The bioluminescent bay was cool, but honestly could’ve been skipped. An overview of the day: Jason was very punctual with the pickups. He kept an energetic, friendly, and helpful attitude the whole time. We stopped at Walgreens to pick up snacks and water shoes (highly recommend them!). We then went to el Yunque. Was incredible! Jason knew a lot about the flora and fauna in PR. The hike was fun and Jason helped us through the more difficult areas (I’d give it a moderate difficulty overall. Nothing too crazy). We got to cliff jump, to rope swing, and to go down the natural water slide. As someone terrified of heights, I’m very appreciative of my group’s encouragement for me to give these things a try. I felt safe the whole tour and people’s boundaries were respected if anyone wanted to skip any activity. Jason brought a dry bag to hold our phones in during these activities. I was the only one doing the tour combo with the kayak, so I was dropped off at the beach for an hour to relax/grab a drink while waiting for the other tour bus to pick me up. This transition between tours was smooth and well-communicated. The kayaking tour was fun, but the luminescence itself was underwhelming in my opinion. It is also hard doing it solo because you will be paired up with a stranger (hard to coordinate with a stranger in a kayak). Overall had a ton of fun! Highly recommend this tour if you’re in PR. Jason is the best! Things to bring: - Water shoes - sun screen - swimsuit - Change of clothes (so you can change into something dry after the el Yunque part) - extra change of pants/shorts (your legs will get wet in the kayaking part) - bug spray - snack + water - water proof phone case with lanyard (and dry bag if you want one for yourself)
