EXPLORE OUR FIVE-STAR REVIEWS

We had a great time on the waterfall hike, cliff dive and rope swing tour. The entire experience was great. Be prepared for a good and muddy hike, a bit challenging in places over the rocks. Bring good water shoes or hiking shoes but they will get dirty and wet! We definitely recommend these guys.

We did the rain forest, horse back riding and the Culebra Island tours and they were amazing! The rain forest is for active people and there is some climbing involved to get to the good part. The horse back riding was pretty relaxing and beautiful. And the Island was absolutely breathtaking!

Best tour in San Juan! I’ve been going for 5 years now and I will NEVER let anyone take us on a tour unless it is with Carlos and his team! Good people, good experience, good times to come back to!

It was phenomenal. We had such a great time. We went to the forest and the tour guide was very helpful. I would highly recommend them. Plus we had good empanadas and good drinks. If you want fun and nice drinks while you explore the rainforest with nice people then go for this tour!

FAQ section

What is the best tour in san juan puerto rico.

Any tour where you can see the city from the water are my favorites. San Juan is so beautiful, and it’s really the best way to see the most interesting sites.

What is the best tour in San Juan for families?

My recommendation for a family tour is to visit historical sites, such as the forts of Old San Juan. These experiences are not only great for the imagination but also educational and safe.

Final thoughts

San Juan has many tours that are worth doing. 

My favourite tours in San Juan are the Condado Lagoon night LED kayak tour and the San Cristobal Fort tour.

Out of everything we did in PR this was by far my favorite. The guys are such great entertainers and servers as well! Our drinks were never empty and the food was so good. My boyfriend and I had so much fun snorkeling and the island they take you to is so beautiful!

My friends and I booked this Catamaran trip as part of our recent vacation in San Juan. The staff was professional and fun, and the trip went really smoothly. Would definitely book again!

Very enjoyable! Carlos, our guide, was excellent! He was so knowledgable, informative, nice, patient and loved sharing his culture. He was an excellent driver and very personable. He even stopped at a local place for lunch before leaving the forest that we didn't expect. What a treat!

This trip was amazing! The staff on the vessel are top notch, very caring and made you feel welcomed, safe and comfortable. Willy does a great job helping you learn how to snorkel. This is a must do if you visit Puerto Rico. Had so much fun!!

OUTSTANDING TRIPADVISOR REVIEWS

WEEK LONG TOUR OF PUERTO RICO

Carlos is an amazing guide and person. He was very informative and knew the answer to any question you had about Puerto Rico. We spent a whole week visiting most of the island and with many well planned and fun activities. There was also plenty of free time along the way and great foods as well. I highly recommend My Puerto Rico Tours and suggest asking for Carlos specifically as your guide.

GREAT EXPERIENCE

I was also on the school trip (about 20 adults and 30 kids) last week and agree with what others are saying here. Carlos has a great personality and a real can do attitude which he shares with the whole group. We learned a great deal while enjoying the sites, food, mountains, beaches, roads and people of Puerto Rico.

THE BEST DRIVER!

Carlos was the best at everything. He was punctual, drove very well, was very polite and very knowledgeable. We couldn't have asked for more from Carlos. He became like family in the end. We all missed him once we left to fly back home. He is such a great person and knows the island well. He's the best!!!

PUERTO RICAN TREASURE

We were looking for a tour operator to provide a weeklong set of activities for two people. My Puerto Rico Tours proved to be a superb choice. It is a newish, small company, but it's owner, Carlos Andino, provides VIP service at a reasonable price. He is a visionary who is reimagining the possibilities for experiencing PR. If you're looking for something different from the usual tour options, start your search here!
