Overview

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.

Itinerary

  • Isla Verde (Pass By)

    Named after a small cay out of the coast of Carolina. An important tourism destination located close to the San Juan International Airport. There are good restaurants in the area, if you get hungry.

  • Playa Pinones (Pass By)

    A very interesting settlement full of natural resources and Afro-American culture. The residents of Pinones are descendants of the slaves that were liberated during the last few centuries.

  • Bosque Estatal de Pinones

    The largest protected mangrove forest in Puerto Rico. We can visit the Pinones Lagoon, a beautiful place that most people (including locals) don't know it exists. Get to know the history and culture of our African-American descendants.

    Visit the capital of the Afro-American culture in Puerto Rico. Get to know our music, traditions and cultural activities.

  • Parque Historico Cueva Maria de la Cruz

    Puerto Rico has an amazing cave system. Maria de la Cruz is a relatively small cave (for Puerto Rican standards), but is an important archeological site. Is a great place to experience our geography, fauna and flora. Sometimes they have cultural activities that include African dances.

We can go into the oldest churches in America. Know how locals live in Puerto Rico. This is a private tour, so it is up to you how long you want to stay on each stop. *Some attractions might be closed because of the COVID.

Great day!

Published on Nov, 2024

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.

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!

Absolutely an amazing day

Published on Sep, 2024

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.

A gem of a Tour

Published on Sep, 2024

There’s no better way to see Puerto Rico unless you are with Javier Ruiz. Javier’s an experienced and certified Tour Guide with ‘Walk San Juan.’ One of the great things about his service is that he offers private tours. We opted for a long day tour where you can see so many things simply by the power of customization. I can’t tell you how many times I ran through different itineraries and scenarios just to see how much we could fit into the 7 hours we would spend together. He was extremely patient and honest. Javier…. these are two of your greatest qualities…. please don’t ever let go of them. He arrived on time and was very responsive. He provided great travel with his clean van. Plus, he’s incredibly knowledgeable about his native land and culture. We toured the forts, caves, Old San Juan, beaches, the rain forest, ate an authentic Puerto Rican food, and even slid down a natural water slide before swinging “Tarzan” style into a plunge pool. My kids were desperate to see waterfalls which we did and getting to go under them was a plus too. It was a blast. Mind you Hurricane Earnesto had just hit the island a couple of days prior to our excursion, Yet Javier found a way to make our tour still happen. Thank you Javier for all of your insight and spending time with us that day. You were very informative and were able to answer all of my questions I had about PR. Moreover, you made it especially fun for my nutty five-year-old who enjoyed exploring the island. Finally, compared to other tour groups in PR, he was the most reasonable for what you get. I felt his pricing was fair and his time, generous.

Wonderful day in PR!

Published on Jul, 2024

Thank you Javier for a wonderful day in Puerto Rico! We were first time visitors and we enjoyed getting an overview of everything Puerto Rico has to offer. My kids especially enjoyed visiting the rainforest and swimming in the river. Javier has a wealth of knowledge and we learned so much about the history and culture. We recommend this tour without hesitation.
