10/10 History, swimming, farm and delicious food!! - Tristan was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and taught us so much about Taino culture, living off the land, and what modern day cuisine is influenced from a rich past. Swimming in the river was absolutely refreshing and seeing the petroglyphs was a wonder. If you want to learn about Puerto Rican past and culture, enjoy swimming and food then this is the tour for you!!! 10 out of 10!!!

Real Borikén experience - Tristan gave us an incredible tour with three unique stops. If you like history, culture, swimming, eating, or seeing natural beauty, you will enjoy this excursion! We never felt rushed or overwhelmed. Tristan and his friends Naldo and Alexa could not have been more accommodating and they taught us so much about Puerto Rican history and the land. And Tristan made sure to take lots of photos for us so we can remember the trip forever. I truly can’t think of a single thing that could be improved upon.

History, culture, and nature extravaganza - Tristan provided a truly unforgettable experience for us. The tour was the perfect mixture of everything we love- history, culture, physical activity, beautiful nature, social connection, and food! With Tristan, you not only get factual information about tour-related topics, but also an in-depth understanding of how these things came to be and how they are evident in present day. Tristan is very reliable and communicative- answering questions leading up to the tour about what to wear, timeline, etc. I highly recommend this tour for people who are seeking an off the beaten path experience with a highly skilled guide.

A must do unique excision - Tristán was such an amazing guide and definitely made the experience exceptional. This tour was a great was to see the island, and learn about the indigenous peoples the Taínos. If you are looking for a unique experience and want to get away from the touristy spots this is your trip. Tristen is very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions and even offered some recommendations for places to Visit around San Juan. I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting San Juan looking for a mixture of adventure and history. From beginning to end this trip was spectacular. Next time we visit will definitely book Tristán again.
