    Exciting experience
    Kristine_O, Apr 2024
    Booked this excursion with my husband and daughter. Was picked up at our hotel. Eli was communicative and very pleasant. This was a lot of fun. Eli didn't push up to do things we didn't want. Highly recommend.
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Eli's considerate approach and respect for your preferences highlight the essence of a memorable excursion. It's wonderful to hear that you felt at ease throughout the experience. Your recommendation speaks volumes about the quality of service Eli provides. Thank you for choosing us for your adventure!

    WOW! What an experience! Josué was an amazing tour guide and made sure to answer all our questions before the tour. He was so knowledgeable about the rainforest and made sure we stayed safe. Plus his photos were great! Be prepared for some rock climbing, but don’t worry it’s not too difficult. You do need a change of clothes after you’re done, whatever you wear into the rainforest will be in water and might get muddy. We booked the early morning to avoid the crowds.
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Josué's commitment to safety and knowledge of the rainforest undoubtedly enriched your experience. It's wonderful to hear that you felt well-prepared and cared for throughout the adventure. Thank you for choosing us for your unforgettable journey!
    Highlight of our girls trip to Puerto Rico
    Margot, Apr 2024
    Bryan was an amazing guide - he brought both adventure, humor and appreciation of the natural rainforest surroundings. We did the early tour on a Friday, and it wasn't crowded at all - highlight was the natural rock waterslide and the cliff jump and rope swing (all optional) - other tours did not do the waterslide which truly separates this tour from others. Bryan was organized & very communicative and the tour stayed on time/schedule. His car and transport was clean and super easy. This tour was the highlight of our girls trip to Puerto Rico! A+ would recommend.
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    We're thrilled to hear that Bryan made your tour experience so memorable! It sounds like you had a blast exploring the rainforest and taking on the adventurous activities. Thank you for highlighting Bryan's organization, communication, and the unique aspects of our tour, like the natural rock waterslide. We're glad we could be the highlight of your girls' trip, and we can't wait to welcome you back for more fun!
    Easy Adventure for All.
    Justin_R, Apr 2024
    From the start we had excellent communication with our guide. He was friendly and informed. The ride was comfortable and the rules were laid out and easy to follow. The rainforest itself was beautiful and Chuky took photos and videos for everyone along the way. Communing with nature and a little adventure were both enjoyed.
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us! It's wonderful to know that our guide provided excellent communication and made the journey comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you for highlighting the beauty of the rainforest and the thoughtful touches, like capturing photos and videos along the way. We hope to see you again soon for more adventures in nature!
    Great excursion.

    Response from Host, Apr 2024

    We had a great time on this tour! Adrian was such a great guide and really went above and beyond to make sure everyone was safe while having a great time in the rainforest! Highly recommended!

Your recommendation means the world to us, and we couldn't agree more—Adrian is truly a top-notch guide. We appreciate your support and hope to see you again soon!
    Amazing Experience, Adrian the Guide is Awesome
    Emily_E, Apr 2024
    Adrian was an excellent tour guide. He communicated thoroughly in advance of the trip. He picked us up exactly when he said he would at our hotel. He drove us to the rainforest. He then guided us step by step through the forest to the river. My husband was hesitant about going down the slide so Adrian took care to show him where he could safely remain at the river and wait. Adrian guided my 12-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son and I up the rocks to the waterfall slide. He showed us how to climb and demonstrated everything. He was extremely encouraging. He even came down the slide ahead of my son to help him in the water and took care of attending to his needs, including when my son decided he didn't want to do the cliff jump. Adrian guided him back to the river without making him jump. To do this, as the description states, you need a level of physical fitness. The walking is not easy to the river. It's slippery and muddy. There are no railings. You will wear your gym shoes/tennis shoes into the water. They will get muddy and wet. You need to wear your gym shoes with traction, or hiking shoes with traction. Water shoes, crocs, or sandals of any kind won't work. People in other groups were wearing them and many people ended up just going barefoot, but that seems like it could come with even more difficulties. You will be so glad you did this. It's beautiful. The water is so clear and refreshing. We could not have done this without Adrian. If it were not for Adrian's experience and expertise, this would not have happened. I could not have done this on my own nor could I have done it for the two kids. This experience is worth it. And Adrian is the kindest, most accommodating person. He is knowledgeable about the island and the forest and takes full care of his clients. Thank you for this Adrian. We are so grateful to you!
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Thank you so much for sharing your incredible adventure with us! We're thrilled to hear that Adrian provided such an outstanding experience, guiding you every step of the way through the rainforest to the breathtaking waterfall slide. His thorough communication and expert guidance truly made the journey unforgettable. We appreciate your recognition of the physical demands of the trip and Adrian's dedication to ensuring everyone's safety and comfort. We're delighted you enjoyed the crystal-clear waters and found the experience worth every moment. Adrian is indeed a gem, and we're fortunate to have him on our team. Here's to many more unforgettable adventures with us!

    This was the best tour we have ever taken. From the pickup right to the drop off the guides were exceptional. Their knowledge and willingness to be part of our family for a few hours made the total experience one that we will treasure forever. I highly recommend this service to everyone looking to enjoy their tour.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    It warms our hearts to know that you felt like part of our family during your tour.

    Danna_T, Mar 2024
    Eli and Nini were fantastic tour guides. My family had the greatest time!! They made sure we were safe but at the same time allowed my kids to be adventurous.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Eli and Nini are indeed fantastic guides, and we're thrilled that your family had such a wonderful time with them. Balancing safety with adventure is something we strive for, and we're delighted that your kids were able to explore and have fun in a secure environment.
    El Yunque is a must!
    Care, Mar 2024
    After reading all of the reviews, we knew we wanted a small group experience for the El Yunque rainforest experience. We were prepared for an active lifestyle day. This was a not to be missed Puerto Rican precious experience. We thank our guide, Josue, with tourshacker for all of the encouragement, expertise and good vibes he shared with our group. It was only me and my husband so we were paired with 2 other people. We were so happy to be close to our guide in a small group to hear his directions and weave us in and out of all the tourists. We were all able to do the rope swing, cliff jumping and rock climbing. Good shoes are a must! Thanks again, Viator, for matching us with a memory making tour experience.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    "Thanks again, Viator, for matching us with a memory making tour experience." Wow!!! We are so thrilled to read this review. It's fantastic to hear about your incredible experience in El Yunque. Josue provided such expert guidance and good vibes throughout your adventure. It's wonderful that you had the opportunity to enjoy all the activities and explore the rainforest in a small group setting. Thank you for choosing Tours Hacker for this unforgettable journey!
    Amazing adventure!
    Cristina_Z, Mar 2024
    Our guide, Brian (Chucky), was amazing! He was knowledgeable, friendly and super helpful when needing a hand in climbing. He made us feel like a family. :)
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    We are so happy to read that Brian (Chucky) made your adventure truly amazing with his knowledge, friendliness, and helpfulness. At Tours Hacker, we aim to create a family-like atmosphere during our tours, and we know that Brian succeeded in doing so every single time. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
    Not a trip for 75 year olds
    Christine_C, Mar 2024
    We were never told the age requirement and the nature of the tour when we booked it over the phone speaking to a Viator agent. We are a group of 3 in our mid 70’s. We found out the age stipulation on the day of the tour. It was clearly too dangerous for us. We could not sign the waivers. I resent that Viator would not refund our money. We requested a privately guided tour in the El Yunque in PR and not a swing off ropes into water or sliding down rocks.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    We understand your frustration, but we want to clarify that we are not Viator agents, and it was not with us that you directly communicated for the purchase of our product. We highly recommend that for the next occasion, you consider booking directly through the Viator website. This will ensure clearer and more precise information about the details of the activity and avoid misunderstandings like the one you experienced. (For future reference, our activity is designed for individuals between the ages of 10 and 60 years old.)
    Great Rainforest small group adventure
    Jason_S, Mar 2024
    Friendly engaged guide Andrian was knowledgeable about the rain forest, culture, history of the park and its inhabitants. The small group ( 4 of us ) was much nicer than the other 15 and 20 person groups. We spent little time waiting in lines while the larger groups needed to wait until their entire group finished each activity before they could do something else.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    We're thrilled you appreciated Andrian's passion for sharing his knowledge with you. Small group tours are indeed a special way to explore, allowing for a more personalized and intimate experience. We're glad you found it to be a refreshing change from larger group tours.
    Fun for all!
    Courtney_L, Mar 2024
    The rainforest tour was the family favorite of our San Juan trip! Eli and NiNi were gracious, friendly and knowledgeable hosts as they led us through the sights of the rainforest. The path through the trees, water, and mountainous rock was surprisingly physical and refreshing at the same time. Get ready for a great experience!
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Eli and NiNi, our dynamic duo, are overjoyed to have been part of your favorite family memory in San Juan. The rainforest's challenges are indeed refreshing, offering a physical and mental rejuvenation unlike any other.
    Great Experience!
    Kayla_C, Mar 2024
    Overall great experience! Josue was awesome. He made it a very personal experience with just our small group of 4. I recommend doing the morning tour as it gets packed fast with other tour groups. Be prepared to get wet and muddy! Only down side is I wish we had more time to explore more of the rainforest.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Josue's personalized touch is what makes our tours truly special. And yes, mornings are perfect for beating the rush and getting that authentic rainforest experience. Embrace the mud and water – it's all part of the adventure!
    Wonderful experience in the forest
    David_A, Mar 2024
    Adrian was perfect! Really expressed his love of the rain forest and his excited in showing us the many wonders of the forest, the rich history and the culture of the people. Would highly recommend requesting him as a guide
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Adrian's passion for the rainforest shines bright like a beacon guiding you through its wonders. We're thrilled he left such a lasting impression on your journey through nature and culture.
    Disappointed
    Robert_P, Mar 2024
    I booked 2 weeks in advance and they informed me at the last minute that I did not fit the age limit. Even though they had my data far in advance of the trip. I feel ripped off
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    (Please read carefully before purchasing our product) We are deeply sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide the best service and transparency to our customers. It's important to highlight that in our product, we have included detailed information about age limits in multiple sections, emphasizing that participation is limited to individuals aged 10 to 60. This detail is prominently featured in at least four or five different places within our product. Additionally, once customers make a purchase, we send them a detailed message with all the necessary preparations, where once again the importance of meeting the age requirements is emphasized. Furthermore, it's important to emphasize that we proactively communicate this information from the outset rather than waiting until the last moment to inform our customers.
    Great experience
    John_H, Mar 2024
    It was an amazing experience, words can't do it justice. Bryan "Chuky" our tour guide ("family") was kind, knowledgeable of the environment, helpful, accommodating and an outstanding individual. The small group made it extra special, no rush and very personalized. A+
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Small groups and personalized experiences – that's what sets us apart. We're thrilled you found your journey with Chuky to be nothing short of amazing.
