10/10 Recommended Experience - It was a beautiful experience. Edgardo was our tour guide and he was very informative and proud to show us his land. We did the tour of Pinñones/Loiza and it was gorgeous. He stopped frequently and took pictures of our family in front of the different beaches and tourist spots. Most definitely recommend the tour to anyone looking for a different family friendly experience.

Awesome experience! - I had an incredible experience on the tour! From start to finish, the entire staff was exceptional. The personnel were friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. They took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all our questions with enthusiasm. The tour itself was absolutely amazing – we rode through breathtaking landscapes, with stunning views at every turn. It was the perfect balance of adventure and fun, and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore the area. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for an unforgettable outdoor experience!

UTV cruising in San Juan - Cruising through San Juan in this UTV was a blast. My family and i enjoyed the ride and found Ricardo to be super nice and accommodating. We mentioned how we were looking for some authenticity in our experience in Puerto Rico and he did not hesitate to stop for local food. Great guide great time.

Loiza! Just do it! - There were 4 in our group so we had 2 guides, Guardo and Aby. They constantly kept us informed starting with a couple of phone calls one hour prior to our meeting time. They were beyond fantastic! They picked us up in 2 can-ams and away we went! They offered us the booked excursion through San Juan or a more authentic experience through Loiza. We opted for Loiza as we could walk San Juan. It was the same price. Guardo is born and raised Loiza and showed us every nook and cranny of his town. We went to several beaches, the Loiza Cultural Center, an amazing mojito stand, a little off roading down some dirt trails on the beach, and an amazing authentic lunch! We came in on a cruise ship and this was our last port of call and by far, hands down, the BEST excursion of our entire 14 day cruise. We love history and culture and both Guardo and Aby were happy to share and gave us the full local experience. I can’t say enough wonderful things about these two and I certainly can’t thank them enough! Book it! Ask for Guardo and/or Aby and take the Loiza experience, I promos you won’t regret it!

Great tour to see city and Fort - We really enjoyed this tour! It was a super convenient way to see the city and get to the Fort. Our guides were so accommodating and full of great info. Kids (11, 8, and 6) enjoyed as did we - loved being able to see the graffiti art and parts of the city while also enjoying some history.

UTV experience while touring Old San Juan - Abby was our personal guide for Old San Juan tour! She turned up our favorite music and drove us through the town! She stopped and provided information about the history of Old San Juan and took our pictures in front of the beautiful backdrops of San Juan!
We had an amazing time and we are thankful to have had Abby as our guide!
