Verónica was wonderful! Knowledgeable, personable, and fun to spend the day with. We really enjoyed the variety of sites she showed us and her willingness to personalize the tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you, Elizabeth. We’re thrilled to hear your day with Verónica was such a positive experience. She has a special talent for connecting with guests and tailoring each tour to what feels meaningful in the moment — it’s one of the many reasons everyone loves her.
We’re very selective with our guides, and she represents exactly the level of quality we aim for every day.

Veronica was absolutely amazing! She was accommodating, took our interests into consideration and tailored the tour accordingly. She taught us a lot about the island’s culture and history. I would highly recommend her!

Veronica was absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and thoughtfully planned. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to our needs, making the entire experience both enjoyable and educational. We felt safe, well-informed, and genuinely cared for throughout the trip. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure. Thank you for making our trip so memorable!

Thank you, Judy. I’m glad you had an amazing time with Veronica. We are very selective with our guides. And I agree, Veronica is fantastic!

Javier was a fantastic guide showing us the highlights of San Juan during a port stop on our Disney cruise. We traveled with children and he was very accommodating to their needs. Javier provided us with an abbreviated tour of the fort, enjoyed a Puerto Rican lunch with us and then took us to a local beach where we enjoyed an afternoon swim before heading back to the ship. I would highly recommend Javier and this tour. It was very relaxed and he focused on how we wanted to spend the day in Puerto Rico. Javier speaks excellent English and kept the kids engaged during the historical discussions about Puerto Rico and San Juan. Thank you, Javier!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you, Ryan,
I had an excellent time with you and your family. Your kids were great. And we were very lucky with the weather. Hope to see you again soon.
John_A, Mar 2025
We loved our private tour. He took us everywhere we wanted to go and was such a nice guy. We loved seeing the Castillo and the rain forest. Our lunch was wonderful at the place he picked for us. All in all we really enjoyed out time we spent getting to know Puerto Rico.
Deborah_D, Jan 2025
Javier was a wonderful tour guide. He let us customize our experience and we were able to do everything we were hoping to do. We went on a hike, swam in the river and toured San Juan. He has a wealth of information and this made the tour even more interesting. It was the perfect day that ended with the best lunch we’ve had on the island.
Susan_S, Sep 2024
Couldn’t have asked for a better day, weather or a tour guide. Javier was absolutely amazing pointing out the flora and fauna of beautiful Puerto Rico on our hike through El Yunque. He found us a phenomenal Puerto Rican restaurant then on for more exploring. Beautiful beaches, an amazing cave and then off to Old San Juan for another amazing tour and history about this beautiful city. Very knowledgeable and kind and we hated for it to end. We highly recommend Javier if you want the best tour ever with someone who is very passionate about his country. Love it! Thanks again for a wonderful day.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you, Susan. Had an amazing time with JR and you. Since the very first minute it felt like we were lifelong friends. Hope to see you again soon. Javier
Amy_N, Jul 2024
Thank you Javier for a wonderful day in Puerto Rico! We were first time visitors and we enjoyed getting an overview of everything Puerto Rico has to offer. My kids especially enjoyed visiting the rainforest and swimming in the river. Javier has a wealth of knowledge and we learned so much about the history and culture. We recommend this tour without hesitation.
Elisa_D, Apr 2024
This was a wonderful tour. Javier ensured that our family saw as much as possible in the time that we had. He took us to all the best spots and is extremely knowledgeable! I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.
Drake_B, Jan 2024
Great excursion with Javier! One of the best parts of the day was having lunch at a local spot. Also enjoyed all of the history of Old San Juan! Thank you!
Leslie_B, Nov 2023
Javier is an outstanding tour guide! He is friendly, pleasant, patient and is a wealth of knowledge! We enjoyed our day with him so much and PR was the highlight of our trip! We experienced and learned so much in 6 hours, and so much more than the usual tourist attractions. I would highly recommend.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Hi Leslie,
I had a lot of fun with you. The highlight of the day was swimming in the river. I’m very happy that your kids even jumped off the platform. The food was good. Hope to see you again and show you other areas.

Wonderful tour - we had a late flight home after a cruise and decided a tour of the area would be perfect. We were picked up at the port (great communication) and had an amazing day seeing San Juan. We can not wait to come back again and do a longer hike in the rain forest.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thank you, Elaine. I had a wonderful day with you. We had great conversations. Am glad we were able to maneuver around the weather. Stay in touch. Javier
Chaundra_B, Aug 2023

Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thank you, Chaundra,
It was great to spend the day with you, and show you our beautiful island. Hope to see you again. Javier
Shawn_B, Jun 2023
Simply stated - Javier provided the best private tour that my family and I have ever experienced!
His knowlege of historical events, refreshing perspective on social issues, great attitude, and healthy sense of humor made every minute of our tour absolutely "worth it" in every sense of the phrase. He made us feel very comfortable throughout the day. It felt like we where spending the day with a distant relative. We couldn't have been more thankful and tried to show it every step of the way (e.g., lunch with and on us was a first - thanks again Javier for sharing the baked fish).
Regardless of how trivial, Javier answered everyone of our questions thoroughly and patiently.
Javier, you have found your calling my friend! My family and I wish you and your family peace, great health, and happiness.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you, Shawn. I really enjoyed the time I spend with you and your family. We had very deep conversations. You are all very smart, deep, curious and fun to be with. It was an honor to share my country (and myself) with you. See you soon, Javier.

Knowledgeable guide. You can customize your itinerary. The rainforest was amazing especially we got to experience it with a little rain.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Thank you, Victoria. It was great spending the day with you and your family (3 generations). The rain forest was amazing. It’s quite an experience to get wet in the rain forest. Enjoy the rest of your trip,
Javier
Trudy_E, Mar 2023
Javier has a wide knowledge base and was very informative. He was also very flexible! We changed the destination at the last minute and it was no problem. We had a lovely day and highly recommend him.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Thank you, Trudy.
It was great spending the day with you. Since this is a private tour, we were able to change plans completely to meet your needs. We were very lucky that we spent time with the archeologist in Tibes. I am also grateful that you came to see my Unicycling performance at the Circus Festival. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Puerto Rico. Javier
KAREN_V, Feb 2023

Franklin_M, Jul 2022
We had a great time with Javier. Very adaptable with our Cruise line schedule, our interest and teenagers with us. Very knowledgeable and able to keep the conversation going in San Juan traffic.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Hi Franklin,
Thank you very much for spending the day with me. On a short time we managed to do quite a lot, including visiting the forts, trying to hunt giant iguanas, etc. Hope to see you again soon. Javier
Yadira_M, Nov 2021
Javier was amazing the tour was what we expected and more. He took us to the coolest places I've never seen as I was born on the island. He never rushed us and made sure we were hydrated and allowed us to embrace and enjoy every part of it. Thank you Javier
Response from Host, Nov 2021
Muchas gracias, Yadira.
It was a big honor for me to walk with you as you reconnected with your home country. It was a beautiful day for everyone. Javier
Evan_K, Nov 2021
Javier was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a customizable, all-in-one Puerto Rico tour. Not only did we see everything advertised, we even asked for special side trips and he accommodated us easily.
Response from Host, Nov 2021
Thank you, Evan. It was great to spend time with your brother and you, along with your spouses. It was a beautiful day. Hikes, caves, bomba on the beach. Hope to see you again soon. Abrazos desde Puerto Rico, Javier
