Wonderful Tour! - Javier is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about all things Puerto Rico. He knew so much history and what all of the buildings were. I feel like we saw things that we hadn't seen before and this was our 4th trip to Puerto Rico. It was an amazing tour and I highly recommend booking any of the tours with Javier. You will learn and have a great time!

Amazing trip years ago - I’d like to leave my review a couple years later. I don’t remember exactly what year it was. It could have been 2007. It was definitely before the hurricane. I visited Puerto Rico with my sister and we met Javier. He picked us up and we explored the rain forest. I recall Javier being very knowledgeable and guiding us along the way. It was a surreal experience exploring Puerto Rico. I remember Javier mentioning he was an archeologist ( if my memory is accurate ) We discovered some hieroglyphics in the rain forest. He went over them in detail and I remember taking many pics of the trip. It was very long ago. Along the way he was going into the history of Puerto Rico and the old San Juan. We made a couple trips along the way. Now if I can remember there was a guy we met along the way. Javier looked upto him. I believe his name was Efron and I think he had a dog. Let’s just say it was an enlightening trip. I am glad to see Javier is still a tour guide. Hopefully we will revisit one day.

Wonderful way to experience the island - Wonderful way to experience the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. Javier was a fantastic guide who knew so much of the history and culture that the tour was not only beautiful but educational. He has a great personality and was so much fun to spend the day with. My sisters and I all enjoyed the tour and our time spent with Javier. Would definitely do this tour again when I return to the island with my husband.

Fun and Informative - If you want to learn about Puerto Rico’s fauna and history, and you should, this is the tour for you. You’ll see lagoons, rivers, caves, fauna and gain an understanding of their history. You’ll also enjoy a delicious, authentic meal. We highly recommend stopping at the fruit stand for yummy, refreshing fruit smoothies!!
