Enjoyable and Informative Visit to El Yunque National Park - The tour was excellent even on a rainy day, it's a rainforest after all. We learned more than we would have just renting a car and visiting the area. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the tour experience enjoyable. This tour is appropriate for all ages and does not involve much walking although climbing the tower steps does require some effort. Everything went smoothly and we even had time to enjoy some local coffee on the way back.

A day of discovery - We had a great time at El Yunque. Our tour guide, Francisco, was very knowledgeable and personable. The trip was the right trip for us, the walking was so pleasant and we visited the highlights of the park. I would have loved a little more time at the visitors center to explore all the art booths. Plan to use a big chunk of your day and also on an umbrella or poncho just in case. Thanks Francisco for a wonderful time.

Nice comfortable glimpse - This is a very good trip if you want to get a glimpse of the forest but don’t want to swim or hike. Our guide Francisco was fantastic. Felt it was a bit overpriced. It is pretty easy to drive of you don’t want to spend that much money. You’ll miss out on the guide of course. The welcome center has a lot in writing which may be enough.

Francisco Xavier is a... - Francisco Xavier is a very friendly guide who gave us a lot of information about El Yunque. However I would have preferred to spend less time at the interpretation center and more time in the forest.
