The best of the best - My mother and I went to Puerto Rico to celebrate her 80th Birthday. We booked the 3 day tour and loved every minute of it. Carlos is an amazing tour guide and showed us the best of what Puerto Rico has to offer. Rainforest, Old San Juan, Ponce, snorkeling and swimming in the bioluminescent bay! Carlos was loaded with history and current information. He took care of everything for us. It was well worth the price and we highly recommend!

Puerto Rico is Amazing !!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 - That’s exactly what my butler at the Ritz Carlton told me and he earned a well deserved tip after we finished our stay. This package is a collection of places that you can't possibly do without knowing the history and geography of the island and is curated in such profesional way we feel is worth much more than what we payed. After 3 days and more than 30hrs discovering the history of Old San Juan and the magical forests, creeks, waterfalls, cays and Bioluminiscent Bay we can only say Bucketlist, thanks for an amazing time in your island!
