We were in San Juan at the end of April post-cruise. We booked Louie to take us to the rainforest. The tour was wonderful. He picked us up promptly at the hotel as promised and to our surprise we were the only couple!! He was very knowledgeable about the area and we had a great day at El Yunque. One... More

Louie was wonderful. He was a wealth of information, extremely friendly and personable, and made the day absolutely fabulous. My husband and I, as well as our young adult 'kids' all enjoyed his style, and the level of information provided was excellent. I recommend the Biobay, along with the rain forest - and I highly recommend Louie. It was well... More

My family of four is not typically drawn to hiking or organized tours, but we decided to try something different and explore El Yunque. We made a great choice in selecting Louie as our guide. He picked us up from and dropped us off at our hotel, using the car rides to give us a rundown of Puerto Rican history.... More

Louie's tour was fantastic. He has many years experience as a local guide and an amazing knowledge of Puerto Rican history and the local flora and fauna. We had lots of fun exploring the rainforest and a dip in the waterfall. I learnt a great deal. After the tour he took us to a local place where we got some... More

Louie is a great tour guide - he's informative, friendly and easygoing. I agree with the other tours that this is not an intense, "NorthFace/Sierra/EMS" type of tour. This is a relaxed way to see a rain forest and learn some facts about Puerto Rico. Being that the rain forest is mostly known for its plants (there are no wild... More

We met Louie in the Port at San Juan after leaving our cruise ship. To be fair it was a bit difficult finding him as it was so busy, but that was partly my responsibility at not agreeing a meeting place. However, once our tour was underway we had a wonderful time. We went to El Yunque rain forest. Louie... More

Took this tour based on his Trip Advisor reviews. We were not disappointed. Louie gave us a lot of info about PR history on the way to the rain forest. He talked a lot about the plants etc while in the rain forest. My daughter(7yo) really enjoyed it. Louie made my daughter a crown from a large leaf.."Taino princess" If... More

We did the El Yunque Tour. It was great. We took great pictures, got a great lesson in the history of the Rainforest. The waterfall was worth the hike you have to do in the end. I would suggest that you bring water shoes if you plan on going into the waterfall because their are boulders and rock in the... More
