The Real San Juan - The most memorable part of the half-day tour was, we went to mini off the beaten path places rather than just the regular tourist stops. Our guide was very knowledgeable about so many topics that dealt with Puerto Rico.

Absolutely an Amazing Excursion - Absolutely an Amazing Excursion! Jerry provided exceptional customer service before and during our tour. Jerry provided a status updates on the stages of service via text and email. He also reached out to us a day before and the morning of our tour. Initially our flight was to arrive in Puerto Rico at day break; but it was belayed. I contacted Jerry to explain our delay and he was able to accommodated my crew. Our tour went smoothly!! Jerry drove us to many breathetaking pictorial spots. He is very knowledgeable and was informative about the island. We learned so much about the history behind the island. We had the BEST lunch at Mi Mi’s BBQ!! The food was scrumptious , budget friendly, and plentiful (we even had leftovers) He is very patient, caring and friendly. This is a MUST do experience!!! We enjoyed every moment with Jerry! We can’t wait to come back!!

Superb Tour guide for Puerto Rico - My family of 4 adults took the Half-Day Center of Puerto Rico Cultural Tour with Jerry. Because of Jerry, this was the best excursion that we have ever had.
Jerry is a delightful person, full of warmth and personality. He is extremely knowledgeable and he has such a passion and love for Puerto Rico in which he taught us important and interesting information about this U.S. island. We learned so much about Puerto Rico history and culture that we will return soon to further explore the island.
Jerry took the time to learn what we had wanted to get out of the tour. He went out of his way to ensure that we would fully enjoy our time with him.
Jerry took us to many lovely and historical places for many photo opportunities and did not rush us. He took photos of us in front of lovely vistas and important monuments. We even had an opportunity to enjoy an excellent lunch at a local neighborhood café for authentic regional food.
We highly recommend Jerry’s Adventures for an in depth tour of Puerto Rico. We rate Jerry’s Adventures 10 stars!

Outstanding Cultural Experience - Jerry was an excellent guide and driver! He not showed us the sites but also taught us about the culture and history. Additionally he took us to lesser known spots. He took us to a wonderful restaurant that served traditional Puerto Rican cuisine. We highly recommend Jerry and this tour!

See the mountains, beaches, monuments and buildings and learn about the people ! - If you don’t want to jump off waterfalls or zipping through the forest, but want to see Puerto Rico from the top of a mountain, visit the beach, see monuments, forts, and learn about the culture and history this is the tour. The tour ended with a lunch at a small local restaurant where the food is cheap and delicious. Jerry, our tour guide, was so knowledgable and answered any question we had. I learned so much during the tour. Comfortable air conditioned vehicle! Thanks Jerry!

The Culture and Beauty of Puerto Rico!! - Jerry’s Adventures was a true Adventure!!! The tour was educational and interesting. We really enjoyed touring the mountains too. They are different than the mountains in North Carolina. Jerry was very knowledgeable of the area. He made plenty of stops and helped us enter and exit the van with each stop. I highly recommend this tour.

Jerry’s Adventures was indeed an Adventure!!! - We had a great experience and learned a lot about Puerto Rico and its culture. We really enjoyed the tour through the mountains. Jerry was very knowledgeable about the area and a delight to talk to. He gave us plenty of stops and time to tour the area without rushing us. Each time we stopped he assisted us in getting out of the van. My sister is disabled and has a hard time getting in and out. She’s very slow, but Jerry was very patient with her.
I highly recommended this tour and especially Jerry.
