Great introduction to the biology of the rainforest. - This tour is very accessible to everyone. There are no really inaccessible visits our tour guide. Frankie was very knowledgeable and provided expert answers to everyone’s questions.

Flawless experience: Frankie was an amazing tour guide - Frankie made this tour the great success that it was! He was not only extremely knowledgeable about the rainforest, but he provided interesting and deep personal, cultural, historical and ecological context to his narration. He shared a powerful message about being in communication with nature and respecting the environment without being didactic or "preachy." The logistics were flawless and the group was congenial. It mattered to us that we had a guide that was authorized to enter the national forest and that was the right decision. Highly recommend for those who are truly interested in nature.

Great family tour - Our family loved this tour! Francisco was a great guide. This was a good fit for our family because we had members from age 5 to 70 and needed an option without a hike. Overall, would definitely recommend!

Highlight of our trip to Puerto Rico - Diana was our amazing tour guide through the rainforest. She was excellent - welcoming, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable about the flora, fauna, and topography of the island. She added in many interesting facts about the history and culture of Puerto Rico as well. The views were beautiful! My husband and I highly recommend this tour!

Knowledgeable guide - The tour was very good the guide very knowledgeable and entertaining. He even offered to pick up us up at our location which was helpful. I would have liked more information on the area as we drove along. There were no ‘light snacks’ as advertised. Overall it was a nice experience.

Park was closed!!!! - Find it interesting Viator sent this evaluation since the experience was a bust. We rode the charter bus for about an hour and found the park closed!!! And after checking the park website, it did say the park would be closed Jan 6!!! Spent about another hour riding back so essentially the morning was over with no experience except disappointment. The tour guide did reschedule us for Thursday but we received NO feedback from BeESpoken despite texts and none from Viator. I finally called Viator and the rep did not even know what had happened….and after emailing me the request for an evaluation….clearly still not acknowledging the event did not happen. After a phone call to Viator and my request for confirmation of a reschedule, I did finally get an email and a request to sign yet another waiver. Still no acknowledgment of their error as a tour operator to schedule the tour when the forest was closed!

Sad - Well, after an hour or so drive we found the rain forest was closed for Three Kings Day, a holiday in PR. I feel the tour company should have known. I booked a similar trip the next day with another company and they were shocked that this happened because they were well aware of the closing. A truly professional company should not make this mistake. We spent our morning driving to and from the rain forest. Very sad when your time is so limited. We have been told we will receive a refund.
