Tourist Guide San Juan Near Me

Noelia Hernández Graft: We booked Javier for the half-day tour of El Yunque. Javier is awesome. He's very friendly, timely, professional, and remarkably intelligent and knowledgeable. He will customize your experience and is flexible to your needs. He not only takes you on a tour/hike of El Yunque, but he has a way of making you forget about the world and truly disconnect your mind from all the stress and worries. Even though it's quite a physical workout, it's mentally relaxing. Book Javier. You won't regret it.

Julie Asmus: We had great day with Javier! We got to see Old San Juan, the rain forest and learn about a lot of Puerto Rico’s history and culture! Thanks for an awesome day!!!

Lauren Nayrouz: Our family had the best day touring with Javier. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, but he treats you like an old friend. We had a 6 year old and 9 year old with us and he paced our tour perfectly for them, making sure to include lots of interesting stops to not only learn about Puerto Rican culture, but add adventure. We were able to fit so much into our time, and Javier was flexible with any request we had when it came to what we wanted to explore. Our kids are still talking about their time in the Rainforest and how proud they are that they hiked up a mountain. We will 100% do another tour with Javier the next time we are in PR!

Alex Solivan: It was a pleasure to have Javier as our tour guide. He has excellent customer service skills and very knowledgeable when speaking of nature. He is a very sincere person and makes you feel like family. We’ve been on excursions but not thing like this one. The El Yunque tour is an excursion that’s a must but only with the best tour guide. Thank you Javier me and Laura had an unforgettable experience.

Davina Danet: ¡Excelentes excursiones con nuestro guía que fue amable y atento con nosotros! Magnífico recorrido en el bosque de El Yunque. ¡Nos encantó nuestro día!

Alistair Hastings: Javier took us on a wonderful hike through El Yunque rain forest. He’s a fountain of information about the region, San Juan, and PR in general. We highly recommend him for private tours when you visit San Juan.

Richard Smith: were led by Javier to the summit of Yunque peak. Loved it! Javier is a historian, geologist, naturalist that seems to know everything about Puerto Rico and the rainforest. He graciously extended our tour since we were having so much fun exploring. Javier is not just a tour guide. Take a trip with him and you’ll have a great time AND have a new friend!

Mike M: The best tour guide in town. Javier was so friendly it felt like we were touring with family. He thoughtfully made sure the tour went at the pace and level that we wanted. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a learning experience that kids and adults could both appreciate. He went above and beyond. It was well worth it to do a private tour.

Elizabeth Sondag: Javier was a great tour guide! We did the customized tour. We went to a cocoa farm and then to el yunque rainforest. We had a wonderful time at both places! I highly recommend booking a tour with Javier.

Jacob H: A great experience with Javier. It was truly the highlight of our trip and very accommodating for kids. Highly recommend.

Kimberly Donohoo: We thought we knew what to expect during our tour, and we were just blown away! Javier was so warm and welcoming upon greeting us, and he went out of his way to make sure everyone in our group got to see what they wanted.His love and knowledge of San Juan / Puerto Rico was so apparent and he left us with greater appreciation and knowledge of this amazing place.We got to see and do so much during our tour, and Javier listened and gave us time to linger over the things we were particularly interested in. As we traveled from one place to the next he also had lots of knowledge to share about towns and neighborhoods we passed through, food, local lore, and things to do. With his help, we didn’t waste a single moment!

Julia Roper: Thank you Javier for taking a day off from your holiday to show us Old San Juan and a glimpse of the rain forest. We loved learning about the history in Old San Juan. The glimpse into the rain forest left us wanting to come back and explore this beautiful place in more depth on our next trip to Puerto Rico.And, of course, happy birthday to you.

Craig Baldwin: We booked Javier for a full day private rainforest tour for El Yunque. Javier is very knowledgeable about the rainforest and was a great tour guide throughout the entire day. He brings all of the necessary equipment and is very patient and understanding - providing many breaks along the way to relax and recharge. We summited El Yunque mountain and the adjacent Roco El Junque rock formation, and really enjoyed a cool dip in the river at the base of the national forest park. We highly recommend taking a dip in the river at the end of the day as it was very refreshing after a long hike up and down the mountain. The views and vistas at the top of the mountain are very picturesque to say the least. Overall I’d recommend Javier’s private tours to anyone looking for more flexibility, knowledge, and personal attention especially compared to the typical group tours. Every tour that Javier provides is catered toward your specific wants and needs - no two tours are alike. Exactly what we wanted - we will definitely use Javier again on our next trip to PR! 😎

Jared Baldwin: 10/10 Javier is awesome, his knowledge and love of Puerto Rico was inspiring. The views and atmosphere of El Yunque are once in a lifetime.

Georg Engelmann: ¡Gracias Javier por un gran día juntos!

Rick Redmond: Javier was on time to pick us up at our hotel and got us back on time. He was very informative and friendly. We had a great time.

Genesis Perez: Buen tours persona amable cocimos mucho del viejo San Juan

L K: Buen lugarBuen servicio

Mildred Weiss: Muy lindo lugarPequeño para el evento al que fuimos.Se puede caminar alrededorSiéntete seguro

Amanda Lehrian: I discovered this absolute gem after my GPS directed me outside the city walls to La Fortaleza! I found Bethzaida, who was the most incredible ambassador to PR! She not only personally helped me get an inside tour of Fortalaza, she told me about the oldest jail in San Juan in their courtyard and let me wander their halls to see their exhibits. Then she found out I was visiting other cities in PR and she followed up sending me emails about those areas! She was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and genuinely excited to share about this beautiful area!

Efrain Ortega: Trabaje en la concha de condado y me despidieron por queSupuestamente llegué tarde..Pero la realidad es que me querían callar la verdad del hotel..El sistema de incendio no funciona bien y hay más 20 habitaciones en el periodo de trabajo pude ver que no tienen el sistema en función correctamente..Además los sistemas de aire no son apropiadamente están en malas condiciones.. ya cuando vean este comentario ya habrán arreglado muchas cosas.. pero cuando el inspector va a revisar el hotel seleccionan una habitaciones que ya con tiempo arreglan y pasa inspección completa cuando las otras están en otras condiciones..Este país va de amigos del dinero.. si ocurre un incendio en una de las habitaciones y no está en función correctamente.. que pasaría!!!A las personas que toman su trabajo un seriamente y no por el salario los desprecian y asta los pisan.. si solo querremos que sea todo por la reglas..

Noel Nieves: Servicio de primera

Eze M: Si no fuera por esta compañia, el pasaporte a la aventura no existitia.

Idalia Placeres: Muy limpio el área. Muchas seguridad y muy corteses los guardias de seguridad

Amber Enloe: Lismar was so helpful in choosing the right tour to suit our family! Narayan was knowledgeable and personable and made sure everyone on the tour was accommodated

Tara Collins: If you're considering a hiking adventure in Puerto Rico, look no further than Narayan as your guide. Let me tell you, embarking on a hike with Narayan at the helm is like discovering a hidden gem within a gem.From the moment we set foot on the trail, Narayan's passion for nature and dedication to his group's experience were palpable. What truly sets him apart is his unwavering support and attentiveness to every individual's needs.During our hike, Narayan went above and beyond, ensuring that not only did we conquer the trail, but that we did so with a sense of accomplishment and joy. His encouragement and guidance were instrumental in pushing us to reach new heights, both literally and figuratively.One standout moment that epitomizes Narayan's exceptional service was when he noticed my girlfriend struggling with a particularly tricky section of the trail. Without hesitation, he extended a helping hand, literally, ensuring she felt supported every step of the way. It's rare to encounter such genuine care and consideration from a guide, and it truly made all the difference.But Narayan's excellence doesn't stop there. Throughout the hike, he made it his mission to ensure everyone in the group had an unforgettable experience tailored to their desires. Whether it was capturing breathtaking views, learning about local flora and fauna, or simply taking a moment to soak in the beauty of our surroundings, Narayan made sure no stone was left unturned.As a seasoned traveler, I've been on my fair share of tours, but I can confidently say that Narayan's hiking excursion ranks among the very best. His passion, professionalism, and above all, his genuine care for his guests set him apart as a truly exceptional guide. If you have the opportunity to hike with Narayan in Puerto Rico, consider yourself fortunate – it's an adventure you won't soon forget.

Amanda Loughlin: We did the rainforest tour and Lismar was awesome! So friendly, knowledgeable, energetic, and accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

Pete Robinson: Exceptional! Lismar was so friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us an amazing tour of the rainforest! She was engaging and fun to be around too! Would 100% recommend!

Julie Robinson: Lismar was a wonderful guide through the rain forest!

Devon Honywill: Incredible experience. I would recommend any of the tours with this company for anyone visiting Puerto Rico. Narayan created an amazing experience for us, was friendly, responsive and impressively knowledgeable about the surroundings, wildlife, vegetation, insects, and really anything to do with Puerto Rico. His passion for his country and sharing it with others is undeniable. This was our best day in Puerto Rico and I can’t say enough positive things about it.

Amal Niazi: I had an amazing experience hiking El Yunque Rainforest with Narayan and a group of 13 friends. It was so nice learning about the rich culture and history of this area straight from a local. I’m especially grateful to Narayan for providing me with proper shoes as a favour when I didn’t have the right gear. This tour is highly recommended, and this husband-wife duo are absolutely fantastic! I cannot recommend this enough, definitely an unforgettable experience.

Nick Ciocco: Fantastic trip today with our guide Narayan. He was friendly, professional and informative. The places he took us were breathtaking and secluded. My daughter is 9 and he did an amazing job making sure she was safe. She really liked him! If your looking at the reviews trying to find the right excursion, my advice would be to go with this one. 10 out of 10

Kristina Pawlowski: We recently booked an Old San Juan walking tour and loved it! It was one of the highlights of our trip. Lismar was so personable, funny and friendly. She really knows her stuff and told us a lot of history we didn't know. She also gave us some great restaurant recommendations at the end of the tour. We were able to see a lot of the highlights of Old San Juan and then went back to a few the next day. We would definitely recommend the 3 hour walking tour for anyone looking.

Tamisha Best: Awesome experience for my family and I yesterday. Thank you, Narayan for the epic experience. If anyone is planning on visiting Puerto Rico, check out the hike to the rainforest in El Yunque! You won’t be disappointed with this company and it’s top tier customer service

Brent Calder: ¡ASOMBROSO! RESERVAR AHORA¡Narayan fue un guía increíble e informado! Hizo que nuestra experiencia fuera divertida y segura. El amor y la alegría que siente por las relaciones públicas es contagioso. Aprendimos y pudimos sumergirnos de verdad, ¡la comida también estuvo deliciosa!

Reena P: We had a wonderful experience on this El Yunque excursion with Narayan where our group of 12 got to hike and swim in the river! He was a knowledgeable and patient guide and ensured that everyone had a great time! Thank you for making the birthday celebration one to remember!

Marlowe Starling: over making a buck. That said, this tour is worth *every* penny--and more. Narayan offers convenient pick-ups from two locations in San Juan, offers to pull over for donuts in the morning, pays close attention to the USGS river levels for that day

Kimmie: Beautiful felt at home. Definitely cousins to Florida

Samantha Hughes: Awesome tour! Highly recommend and be sure to request Lismar as your guide! We did an El Yunque tour 9 years ago and this FAR surpassed that experience. Lismar is extremely personable and knowledgeable. She brought the rainforest to life, providing lots of interesting information about the flora and fauna and the history of El Yunque. She shared lots of fun facts and demonstrations of some of Mother Nature’s treasures in the rainforest and elsewhere in Puerto Rico. Lismar made the experience very enjoyable and took lots of pictures for us so we can treasure the memories. Especially liked that the tour was focused on the natural beauty and was not at all commercialized.

Jennifer Meyer: I’m so glad we found this tour! Our guide Lismar was knowledgeable and just lovely. She talked us through San Juan’s history and showed us places that we are still talking about. She gave us many suggestions to add to our bucket list of places to see, things to do, and restaurant recommendations along the way. I cannot recommend this experience enough.

Raegen Garcia: I highly recommend anyone who is coming to visit Puerto Rico to book with “ Seeing Puerto Rico “. This is by far the best tour I have been on while on vacation. Our tour guide, Lismar was absolutely amazing. I can’t think of enough adjectives to describe the great experience she gave us. She is extremely knowledgable about the history of PR. We got to tour the beautiful rainforest and there again she gave us all the rich history and described all beauty we were seeing. We also had an amazing day as she customized our tour to see the beaches and experience the delicious food while we were there. Lismar’s knowledge and energy is unmatched and is what made our experience so much fun and enjoyable.

Hawa: We had a girl’s trip to PR, and Lismar from Seeing Puerto Rico was amazing, they arranged the whole day. She was an awesome true guide and we had loades of fun. I will defiantly recommend this company if you are looking for a great tour of PR.

Alyssa grillo: Had an amazing time with Lismar on our girls trip !! She was very knowledgable and had great energy! She was great! Highly recommend doing a tour with her

Greg Duncan: Puedes seguir leyendo reseñas de 5 estrellas en este sitio O puedes pasar directamente a reservar el tour Déjame mostrarte mi isla para no perdértelo.Este es nuestro cuarto viaje a PR: uno en un crucero y ahora el tercero en avión durante varios días a una semana. Lamento no haber hecho este recorrido antes porque descubrimos cosas que podríamos haber explorado durante visitas anteriores. Hay varias áreas en las que este tour se destacó...Reserva y pre-tour: Reservamos directamente en su sitio web. El proceso fue sencillo y los correos electrónicos y mensajes de texto previos a la gira le brindaron todo lo que necesitaba saber. Ali incluso estuvo disponible por teléfono o mensaje de texto la mañana de la gira cuando tuve una pregunta.Historia y sitios históricos: El recorrido estuvo lleno de historia sobre San Juan y Puerto Rico. Se detuvo en muchos sitios de importancia histórica. Se puede ver la importancia que le da el pueblo puertorriqueño a honrar su historia. Por ejemplo, me llamaron la atención los monumentos y las instalaciones de arte en honor a los maestros puertorriqueños y su ubicación, justo frente al Capitolio.Sostenibilidad: El recorrido señaló muchas formas en que la gente protege los recursos naturales de la isla.Lugares hermosos: si estás interesado en la naturaleza y los lugares de belleza natural, este tour tiene mucho que ofrecer.Destinos no turísticos: Paramos en Loiza y Piñones, este último para un delicioso almuerzo de comida auténtica.Héctor, quizás el mejor guía turístico que jamás hayamos conocido: es un guía turístico MAESTRO que hizo un magnífico trabajo enseñando, estableciendo una gran relación con sus pasajeros y conectando varios temas, sitios y temas. Tiene un gran sentido del humor y sabía la respuesta a cada pregunta. Entonces, por ejemplo, si alguien preguntaba sobre un árbol en particular, no solo sabía el tipo de árbol, sino también por qué era adecuado para este clima, o cómo llegó aquí si no era autóctono. Mostró un cuidado increíble por todos nosotros durante todo el día.El recorrido me dio una idea real del espíritu de la isla y su gente, y me hace querer volver una y otra vez. ¡Muy recomendable!

Victoria McCabe: ¡Alicia fue una guía turística fantástica! Ella compartió mucha historia y datos sobre San Juan con nosotros y se aseguró de que viéramos todos los lugares populares. ¡Nos encantó nadar en el río y la parada para almorzar estuvo deliciosa! Se lo recomendaría encarecidamente a cualquiera que busque un recorrido en San Juan y no dudaría en reservarlo nuevamente si vuelvo a la zona.

Kevin McMurdie: ¡Alicia estuvo fantástica! La caminata fue hermosa y Alicia fue maravillosa al hacer que fuera más que un simple paseo por la selva tropical. Las vistas fueron geniales, Alicia fue muy divertida y estamos muy contentos de haberla elegido.

M Lassiter: ¡González brindó una experiencia fantástica! Nos impartió mucha información durante el recorrido. Fue muy profesional, puntual e hizo todo lo posible para asegurarse de que todos tuviéramos la oportunidad de explorar en cada parada. Se enteró de un atasco de tráfico, por lo que reorganizó el orden del recorrido y no tuvimos demoras ni problemas al poder visitar todos los lugares. ¡Gracias Gonzo por compartir con nosotros la gira Déjame mostrarte mi isla!

Traci Darrow: Hicimos el recorrido "déjame mostrarte mi isla" con Héctor como nuestro guía turístico hoy. ¡Fue fantástico! Había 6 adultos y 4 nietos de edades comprendidas entre 2 y 8 años. Héctor hizo todo lo posible para aprenderse todos nuestros nombres y prestó especial atención a los niños. Conoce mucho todo lo relacionado con Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 y ama su isla natal. Nos llevó a un excelente lugar para almorzar y nos ayudó a comprender qué era todo. Se tomó el tiempo extra en los lugares para ser nuestro fotógrafo familiar y se unió a nosotros para tomar un par de fotografías por invitación nuestra.Ali fue excelente comunicándose con nosotros durante nuestras etapas de planificación e incluso fue meteorólogo ☀️¡Recomiendo ampliamente a este grupo de personas!

E M: Conductor fantástico, conocía muy bien la isla y la historia detrás de todo lo que pudiéramos preguntar. Me alegro mucho de haber hecho esto en nuestro primer viaje a PR.

Enid Santiago: Ali, las palabras no pueden expresar la gran gira que tuvimos. Eres muy recomendable en muchos sentidos. Gracias por hacer que mi huésped ame aún más la isla.

C Elmore: Isaac fue nuestro conductor. Disfrutamos mucho de nuestro tiempo. Ali también fue de gran ayuda porque para realizar una gira exitosa se requiere mucha comunicación cuando hay gente que viene de diferentes partes del país. ¡Hicimos el tour See The Island y nos encantó!
