Rafael was hands down one of the best tour guides we have ever had. It was myself (afraid of heights, gets vertigo), my husband, and two kids aged 10 and 15 - one of them has Autism. Rafael not only answered every single question my son asked, but assured him throughout the day that he was safe. He never lost his patience, never seem annoyed- if anything, he appeared easy-breezy even as I (43 years old) shook thinking about jumping off a rock. It was his confidence that led to my son going through ever waterfall, and while I had to go a step lower to jump off a rock- you can hear him cheering while filming me do it.
Not only was our safety his highest priority, Rafael was a WEALTH of knowledge about the area, the island- it all. This was EXACTLY the kind of guide we were looking for in order to learn and immerse ourselves.
I rarely have a guide that truly appeared to enjoy the day with us, even though he must have done this tour a hundred times. By the end of the day, he felt less guide, more familia.
We are in the process of making plans to come back to Puerto Rico again. When we do, he will be the first person we book with.
Thank you Rafael for helping us create wonderful memories and teaching us about your home.
