Just what we wanted - We had a wonderful guide. She was very informative and we learned a great deal about the history of the island. We didn’t want anything too strenuous but wanted to experience a bit of the rain forest. We were glad we had hiking shoes because the trail was a bit slippery in spots. The longest walk we did in the forest was 1/2 a mile. We didn’t really need swimsuits. We were fine just wading in the river. Water shoes would have been nice because the shore and river are rocky. We had a nice stop for lunch at a roadside food stand. For anyone who doesn’t want the water slide tours etc, this is a great alternative.

Old San Juan and Rainforest Tours - We had two great tour with PR Tour Desk to Old San Juan and El Yunque Rainforest! The guides were so informative. I wish they provided raincoats as we got drenched! It wasn’t an item we packed from home and needed. I also wish the guides would take photo of the guests (take some lessons too) because it was hard to capture the memories.

Diana was incredibly... - Diana was incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming! She brought us to some great views and seemed to know exactly where to find interesting plants. She also knew about Puerto Rican history, and gave us recommendations for exploring more. I would recommend this trip to all ages and ability levels.

Great excursion for the money! - Loved this excursion. Very fair priced and great guide. Note that the swimming is optional and don't wear an Apple watch if you go swimming. We had someone lose theirs from the jump and it's common there. Trail was a bit muddy so wear appropriate shoes.

The 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 and fauna and topography of the island. She also shared information about the history and culture of Puerto Rico. Due to a flash flood, we were unable to swim in the river. Instead, we had an extended hike. At the end, Diana shared an extensive and varied list of restaurants to enjoy in San Juan. My husband and I enjoyed the tour immensely. Highly recommend!!

Worth the trip with Luis. - Luis our tour guide was very informative, patient, kind, respectful, and knowledgeable. Luis showed us things that we would have never seen on our own. I would say that he made the whole trip worth while. I would recommend this place with a tourist guide. If you are lucky enough, I hope you get Luis.

Great way to tour the rainforest - Diana was an excellent tour guide! She was right on time for pickup from my hotel and texted me in the morning and a few minutes before arriving. I signed up last minute the night before and it was a smooth experience with pickup. She was very caring and she made sure that everyone was doing OK at all times. She was very knowledgeable about the rainforest and the history and culture of Puerto Rico. I would recommend this tour for anyone who is looking for a low impact walk-through the rainforest. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to visit the river due to flooding, but it was an enjoyable experience. There’s no crazy hiking or getting muddy. No anxiety at all and the tour was for all ages. You just need to be able to walk on a paved trail. We stayed clean and dry. I would recommend that you bring a rain jacket or a poncho. Normal sneakers for walking or hiking are perfect.

Rain - We never made it to the rainforest because of rain. I requested a refund but didn't get one. The guide said to request a refund.
