How much of Puerto Rico can you see on one day?
Quite a lot. Puerto Rico is small, and has good infrastructure (road) so is easy to move from one place to the other. So, if your flight makes a long layover in PR, or if you stop on a cruise, or you want to see as much as possible in one day, this is the tour for you.
You will get a full tour of Old San Juan (know the history and culture of Puerto Rico), a beach forest (mangroves, lagoons), a cave and a glimpse of the rain forest.
This is not a regular commercial tour. I will show you different places. I will give you a lot of interesting information in a fun/informal way. We can be spontaneous. You can get to "feel", "breath" and "enjoy" Puerto Rico.

Javier did a great job of acquainting us with his city. Easy responsive communication beforehand so no worries. He was personable, knowledgeable and we were especially grateful for how well he accommodated my husband’s disability.

Amazing, Special, Safe, fun and Customized Private Tour with Javier! Bilingual: English and Spanish.
My family and I had an amazing, fun, unforgettable, pleasant and safe experience with Javier. I highly recommend Javier and his tourism company.
We went to the San Juan Morro (Castillo San Cristobal), National Park, El Yunque National Forest and mountains, Old San Juan and other places.
We arrived to San Juan in a cruiship and he picked us up on time, literally one minute walking time out of the exit of the Cruiship Port and made sure to bring us back on time to don’t miss our cruiship. Javier didn't leave until we confirmed we were inside the ship.
We had an unforgettable time with Javier and Vionnette, they took us to the places we had previously arranged to visit and were our priority. Javier made sure we took advantage of the time we had and visit as many places as possible during the day we spend in San Juan.
I booked in advance and Javier was always very responsive, he made sure to answer all my questions.
Javier has a great reputation in the tourism industry in Puerto Rico and took us to soecial places for example to a river in El Yunque that is not crowded by tourists, we had the river all for ourselves without the typical crowds, in return we made sure to be respectful of nature and follow safety measures.
Javier and Vionnette were so patient with us, stop for pictures and customized our experience to create unique experiences.
We learned so much and the time flew! For sure we will back to Puerto Rico and will reach out again to Javier.
Javier is pleasant, nice and a great human being! Thank you Javier!

Couldn’t have asked for a better day, weather or a tour guide. Javier was absolutely amazing pointing out the flora and fauna of beautiful Puerto Rico on our hike through El Yunque. He found us a phenomenal Puerto Rican restaurant then on for more exploring. Beautiful beaches, an amazing cave and then off to Old San Juan for another amazing tour and history about this beautiful city. Very knowledgeable and kind and we hated for it to end. We highly recommend Javier if you want the best tour ever with someone who is very passionate about his country. Love it! Thanks again for a wonderful day.
