Great tour - I really enjoyed the entire tour but my most favorite parts was visiting the artist’s home and going to Piñones beach. The customer service was excellent. We had a really good time.

Unable to tour due to scheduling issues - We booked for a Wednesday tour late Tuesday afternoon, and got a call from the company on Wednesday morning that because it was a last minute booking we needed to reschedule to Friday. In Friday morning I called to confirm the tour and I was told that the assistant did not inform the driver of the tour, and I was asked if I could reschedule again. After I explained we originally ordered for Wednesday I was given a full refund and a tour credit for if I were to come to Puerto Rico again. Extremely disappointing, but the owner did all she could do to fix the error.
