The tour guide I can’t remember her name shout out to her though. Very nice and informative of course. She answered every question and left no stone unturned. The experience over all was very beautiful.

Alicia was a great guide. Very informative was a pleasure to be my guide
Our tour guide was Luis. He shared a lot about the area and was very knowledgeable. He took his time answering questions. We toured San Juan and Old San Juan and then El Yunque. This was a fabulous tour.
Zoe was an amazing tour guide for Let me show you my Island with El Yunque tour! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared so much interesting history that made the experience even more enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend Zoe to anyone taking this sampler tour!
Outstanding day on the island. Tour guide Andrea made the day special for my family. Her personality was awesome and was very knowledgeable. And I love the way she says "Puerto Rico"
Excellent day with Zoe! Learned about the rain forest, ecosystems, Puerto Rican culture and history, African culture in PR, music, government and more. Truly a day well spent. Our two sons (8 and 11) both were sad for the tour to come to an end and asked when we could hang out with Zoe again. Great tour guide and beautiful island!
Incredible tour with Zoe. We learned a lot and felt like we really got to know the island and its history. She is especially wonderful with kids.Thank you for an amazing day!
Zoe is one of the most knowledgeable tour guides I have ever had. She not only knows the history of Puerto Rico, but her background in biology played a key role in my enjoyment of the experience. She took some incredible candid photos for me that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I looked at several different experiences that included a tour of El Yunque and chose this specific one because of the price, the “sampler platter” (as Zoe explained it) of experiences, and the positive reviews. I wish I understood that the trip into El Yunque was only to the tower and waterfall. I thought I would get to actually go on a trail for a quick walk in the rainforest, which was disappointing, but that was on me for not looking back at the details before booking. I was getting the different options for experiences confused. I was also disappointed that we didn’t get to go in to the cave. It was absolutely no fault of Zoe’s that the site was closed to the public for repairs, but until it is reopened to the public, maybe take it off as a highlighted visit. Viewing from behind a locked gate just isn’t the same being able to walk in, experience, and take pictures. My friend and I only had one other couple with us on this tour, so it was a very personalized experience. The couple was older and needed assistance walking, and Zoe was so sweet and accommodating to them. This experience is best for those who want a little taste of Puerto Rico, an affordable experience, those with mobility issues, and for all ages.
Zoe was amazing.🤩 beautiful views and explanations.
Zoe is the best - very knowledgeable, knew the history and was a great driver. Enjoyed every moment with everything she brought to our knowledge of the area.
Zoe was an excellent tour guide. Enjoyed the tour very much. Learned so much about Puerto Rico. It was an easy tour for us Senior citizens, we enjoyed so much.
The people of Puerto Rico were incredibly warm and welcoming. My tour guide, Andrea, made this trip an amazing experience. She was knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely eager to share the rich history and culture of Puerto Rico with us. I got to experience a more authentic side of Puerto Rico, from the local food and culture to the history and traditions that make the island so unique. The rainforest journey was especially informative, and I learned a lot about Puerto Rico’s heritage and the people who helped shape its history especially the Tainos. I truly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to explore Puerto Rico beyond the typical tourist attractions. Andrea did an awesome job, and her passion and knowledge really made the experience even more memorable.
Our guide, Andrea, was an amazing guide. She is very knowledgeable but also very hospitable. Would certainly recommend.
Andrea was EXCELLENT!! This was the perfect tour to do on our last day here. However, go on day one to get great ideas of where to go and what to do on your trip! We’ll just have to come back.
“Let Me Show You My Island” with Zoe was absolutely unforgettable. From start to finish, Zoe brought the island to life with her warmth, energy, and deep knowledge, turning every stop into a meaningful experience. Her history of the island was especially impressive, weaving together the culture, people, and past in a way that was engaging, easy to follow, and genuinely inspiring. More than just a tour, it felt like a beautiful introduction to Puerto Rico’s soul. Zoe is the kind of guide who makes you feel welcome, informed, and completely captivated, and this experience is one I would recommend without hesitation.
This was an amazing excursion. Zoe, was phenomenal, her hospitality, knowledge of the Island and helpfulness made this trip one in which we will never forget. This was a lot of fun, it was riding around with family sharing laughter and experiences.

Great tour & Zoe was excellent. She gave us so much information. I would highly recommend booking with this tour.
Zoe wasn’t very knowledgeable, informative & friendly
We went on 9/23 at 8:30. Our guide was FANTASTIC!!! She was incredibly knowledgeable about everything and very sweet. The van was super comfortable. The stops were really interesting, loved El Yunque!
Tour was really a taste of PR! Went to lots of sites, with a short amount of time at each. Andrea was so informative and knowledgeable and energetic. I do wish there were times listed on the itinerary as we had lunch fairly late and didnt bring a ton of snacks :) There were also a market that having cash would've been useful - good to let people know! Overall, Great !!!!!! Thank you!
Excellent guide Andrea but the tour itself doesn't allow for seeing the sights for an extended time.
Dear Air France Customer Relations Team, I am writing to you with a very grateful heart following my experience with Air France at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport on 11 September 2026. I have travelled extensively throughout the world, and I regularly travel Business Class. Over the years, I have experienced many wonderful people and many different levels of service. However, every once in a while, someone comes along whose kindness touches you on a much deeper level. For me, that person was Madame Sophie in the Air France Lounge at CDG. Her service was not simply exceptional it was genuinely heartfelt. I was travelling with a friend who had never travelled before, and Madame Sophie immediately sensed that she needed a little extra reassurance and guidance. Without hesitation, she took my friend under her wing. She made her feel safe, welcomed and cared for, patiently helping her through the experience with such warmth and compassion. What touched me most was that her kindness felt completely genuine. It was not simply someone doing their job; it was one human being showing another human being care, patience and generosity of spirit. Sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness can completely change someone's experience. Madame Sophie did exactly that. For someone travelling for the first time, an airport and international journey can feel overwhelming. Because of Madame Sophie, my friend felt reassured and looked after. That is something I will remember for a very long time. I believe people like Madame Sophie are the heart and soul of an organisation. They are the people who quietly create memories, restore faith in human kindness and make passengers feel that they truly matter. I would therefore be deeply grateful if Air France would recognise Madame Sophie formally and ensure that her managers know just how extraordinary her service was. She deserves to know that her kindness did not go unnoticed and that it made a genuine difference to two passengers that day. I would also like to be honest that not every part of our journey was as positive. Our experience at the gate was disappointing, and I was particularly concerned about having paid additional charges for seats and baggage on two occasions, despite travelling Business Class and being a frequent Business Class traveller. I would appreciate it if Air France could also review these charges and clarify why they were applied. However, I do not want those concerns to take away from the reason I am writing. I am writing primarily to say thank you. Thank you to Madame Sophie for her extraordinary kindness, her patience, her warmth and the beautiful way in which she cared for my friend. In a world where travel can sometimes feel impersonal, she reminded us that genuine human kindness still has the power to transform an experience. Madame Sophie is a wonderful ambassador for Air France. Her service went above and beyond, and I sincerely hope that her exceptional qualities are recognised and celebrated within your organisation. Please convey to her my deepest appreciation and gratitude. With warmest regards and sincere thanks, Patrica Wertenbroch
Zoe was our tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend her.
Zoe was exceptional! She gave us a great tour of her town. Extremely knowledgeable and pleasant.
Hector is an awesome host! He was on time with the pick up and very informative on the tour. We had an amazing time!
Our driver and tour guide was Alicia. She was pure perfection from start to finish. She was communicative from the moment we booked the tour, and all throughout the experience. She provided us with an in depth historical narrative of the island as we visited each site. She was fun, engaging and made sure each of us truly enjoyed each stop. She's also quite a phenomenal photographer and helped capture some wonderful family photos that we will cherish. If you want your tour to be conducted by someone who has a true love for their home, and learn some history along the way, you will love this tour. I have booked other more expensive tours in the past and did not get a fraction from those as I did with Alicia. The bus was roomy and air conditioned. The early start allowed for us to plan an evening event with enough time to rest in between. Each stop was well timed. And my son finally stopped looking at his phone to enjoy the scenery around him. My elderly mother was also able to engage and enjoy herself. I plan to recommend this excursion to everyone.
I went on the tour while pregnant and it was amazing! our tour guide Alicia was very knowledgeable and cared for our wellbeing. We got to learn a lot about Puerto Rico, see the main touristic points, and she picked us up at our hotel.
We had a great visit and our tour guide was extremely knowledgable. She had answers to all our questions and is a great story teller. She is very relational and fun to be with.
Terrific! Exactly what we needed. Got lucky as a “private tour” with just my wife and I with Andrea as our very knowledgeable and personable guide. Saw the highlights, walked around a bit, learned all about PR history, and had a yummy lunch. Thank you! Highly recommended.
Great experience. Nice tour to take early in trip as an introduction to the island history and a visit both to the city and rainforest. Zoe was an excellent tour guide-full of knowledge and fun to be around. Stopped for some local food and drink-truly wonderful.
Had a great time on the tour, Zoe was an amazing tour guide. She’s very knowledgeable and fun. This tour definitely felt more intimate as the group size was rather small. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get their feet wet in Borinquen culture and sights.
This tour was absolutely incredible. In a brief span, you get to experience Puerto Rico’s biodiversity and interact with its rich history. It truly is a beautiful place! Zoe is phenomenal, very informative and friendly. The history, natural beauty, and cuisine included in this tour become threaded into an unforgettable view into what makes PR so special.
Words can’t describe how amazing this tour was! Zoe was so knowledgeable about her home and the amount of history Puerto Rico has to offer. From her picking us up right on time to making sure we are hydrated and feel comfortable, I truly had an amazing time!
Excellent tour!!!…saw so many areas of Puerto Rico….Andrea is so knowledgeable of the area…Would highly recommend this tour….well worth the time and money!!
We met Ali at the end of the cruise ship terminal and hopped on an air conditioned Van with the tour guide Andrea. Andrea's knowledge of the island and it's culture is phenomenal! She made learning about the island fun. She did an amazing job! There was plenty of time to stop and take pic in every location. There are no actual beach stops so you don't have to worry about getting back on the bus wet. The tour started around 930ish and ended around 4pm.
Andrea was awesome!!!!!!!!!
I can’t express enough how much fun we had on this tour! Zoe was the perfect guide. The day before, I was actually on a different tour when two ladies highly recommended her to me—and I’m so glad they did! From the very beginning, I honestly felt like I was visiting one of my best friends and she was showing me around her hometown. Zoe was so warm, personable, and knowledgeable. At one point, I even asked her if she had studied history because she shared such a tremendous amount of Puerto Rican history, but in a way that was fun, interesting, and never felt like a lecture. One of my absolute favorite parts of the experience was stopping at a roadside kiosk and trying authentic Puerto Rican food. Zoe took the time to explain what each item was and helped us make the perfect selections. That experience alone was unforgettable! I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Puerto Rico. Zoe truly made us feel welcomed, informed, and like we were experiencing the island with a friend rather than simply taking a tour. We had an amazing time!
We had an amazing tour! Zoe was absolutely fantastic. She is truly passionate about what she does and genuinely loves sharing the island’s history, culture, and hidden gems. Her enthusiasm made the experience so much more enjoyable. She also took us to an authentic local restaurant, and the food was absolutely incredible. Everything about the tour exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the island. Shout-out to Zoe for making it such a memorable experience!
Zoe was great. Very passionate. Highly recommended.
Andrea provided a wonderful tour of Puerto Rico! I appreciated her deep fund of knowledge about the island. I learned so much. She was also very warm and welcoming. Great tour guide!
The tour guide Zoe, was a real treat. She’s was upbeat, knowledgeable, and professional. The company picked me up and dropped me off at my lodging area. The tour is excellent for those who want to explore a lot of the island in a short amount of time. The tour gives an high level overview of important sites and features that you can dive into deeper at a later time. This tour allows you to sample a little bit of everything! 10/10 i would recommend! The long negative is the tour stated it ends at 1:15 but we got back at 3:10. Keep this in mind if you plan something after the tour.

Zoe our tour guide was excellent! Very nice sampler tour of peurto rico from the rain forest to the city!!👌
Zoe was our tour guide. I can’t say enough good things about her. She is friendly, fantastic, extremely knowledgeable about where she is from ( Puerto Rico), and a safe driving. This tour is packed with lots of information about Puerto Rico that you wouldn’t want to miss. She definitely has lots of good reviews for a reason.
Guide was funny, entertaining, and knowledgeable
By far the best tour we have ever taken! Zoe was amazing! We learned a lot about the history, culture, and even biodiversity of the island! I really felt like we got a full picture of puerto rico in this tour. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone!
Excellent guide. I learned so much about Puerto Rico culture, history, politics, environment. I will recommend to all our friends this tour!
Our family of four had an amazing time on the MY Island Tour! From start to finish, everything was well organized, enjoyable, and gave us a chance to experience the beauty and culture of Puerto Rico. Our tour guide, Zoe, was fantastic. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome. She shared interesting information about the island while keeping the tour fun and relaxed. We loved exploring the lush rainforest, seeing historic downtown Puerto Rico, and stopping to enjoy delicious local food. It was the perfect mix of sightseeing, history, nature, and authentic Puerto Rican culture. If you’re looking for a great way to experience the island beyond the beaches, we highly recommend the MY Island Tour. Thank you, Zoe, for making it such a memorable day for our family!
Zoe, was excellent. Great introduction to PR and San Juan. Thanks
