This was such a fantastic tour. John was involved in a reforestation effort so is really knowledgeable about the rainforest. Although we got rained on the forest we still had a great 1.5 mile hike along a paved walkway. John provided plenty of water and info. We highly recommend this tour.

We met Javier- "El Cabra Montes" at 10:00, and we hiked to three peaks. Feet and legs are tired, but what a day! Be prepared to go beyond the tourist spots. Remember to bring water and snacks, because if El Cabra Montes is your guide it will be a hike. Great operation.

This tour was truly the best part of the recent trip my husband and I took to Puerto Rico. I am usually a planner and plan tours far ahead of the time we visit, but dropped the ball this time. Luckily, we were able to get a tour for the morning of our last full day there. John picked us up promptly in front of our hotel in a comfortable van and began the short drive to the rainforest. He was so incredibly knowledgeable about the plants, trees and animals in the rainforest and took us to an area that was not on the standard tours (one of which we had done two days before). John actually hiked along with us and pointed out so many interesting plants, trees and even animals. (The stick bugs were just SOOOOO cool!!) It is obvious while listening to John that he loves the rainforest and wants to share the information (and the love) with the people on his tours. When I mentioned that the sound of the coqui frog is something I had quickly grown to love and would love to listen to all the time, he was kind enough to stop at a shop on the way down the hill so I could purchase a CD featuring the sounds of the coqui frog and the rainforest. (No music, just rainforest sounds....crickets, thunder, rain and coqui frogs....truly delightful!!) I had the time of my life seeing and hearing all that the rainforest offers and I would recommend John's tours to anyone that wants the BEST El Yunque rainforest tour possible!

John Druitt, the Rubio in Rubio's Tours, runs a first rate tour guide business. His knowledge of the El Yunque rain forest is extensive and his general knowledge of environmental science is astounding. The combination of the two, coupled with his dry British wit, results in an experience you are not likely to ever forget. John will completely customize your tour to suit your needs. If you want simple and paved, John will deliver the tour. If you want rugged and challenging, John will deliver that experience as well. In fact, he favors the off road route to see El Yunque in all of its glory. That's the tour week took and we have no regrets. If you want to leave El Yunque with a new depth of knowledge about rain forests, have John lead the tour.

Thanks John for sharing your knowledge and a great place to hike! It was an experience we will never forget. John took us to a bakery where we had a delicious breakfast. Then We took a 3 hour hike. It was breathtaking.

I think my friends and I would have been able to sort our hiking in El Yunque on our own, but it would not have been as great of an experience. John is someone you will enjoy spending a few hours with and is extremely knowledgeable about the trees, plants, animals and history of the Park Service. He was able to point out ginger root growing in the wild, the sounds of the coqui (tree frogs), and even had extra ponchos when rain began to fall in earnest. John is flexible and offers different possible routes. We ended up going to the top even though we were with a 7-month pregnant friend (who is quite an athletic person to start with). John was able to let us know the paths recently got maintenance and that the path didn't get too steep. We wouldn't have known that on our own. Some of the signs were incorrect on the trails- John pointed it out and we were even more glad to have him with us.

We've been in a number of rain forests before, and the one thing we learned was this: If you're going to take the time to hike, do it with a local who is knowledgeable about the area. My husband researched guide for El Yunque prior to our travels to Puerto Rico, and John Druitt's name rose to the surface. He was prompt in responding to our inquiry and answered all of our questions, so we didn't hesitate to book a tour.And we weren't disappointed! John was a most gracious host and tour guide, providing us with much knowledge and insight regarding El Yunque. If you want to do more than just hike and enjoy the beauty of El Yunque, and really want to learn more to better understand what you're seeing, you can't go wrong with Rubio's Tours.

I booked a hike for my family in El Yunque. John did a great job of gathering info via email on skill levels and what it was we wanted out of the hike (my kids were hoping for a Waterfall swim and I wanted to learn about the rainforest). He was extremely knowledgeable, was able to keep my kids engaged as well as my 60 year old parents. He was funny as well and was able to keep is motivated throughout the hike. I would definitely use his services again. He knows a ton about the island and does various kinds of tours. Thanks John! It was amazing .

Our family went on two tours with John Druitt. We spent one day in the rainforest and another touring Old San Juan. Everyone had a wonderful time, age range 8yrs-72yrs. John customized the tours to fit our needs, what we were able to do, and what we wanted to see. John is extremely knowledgable and told us a wealth of information we wouldnt necessarily have got on a bigger, more commercialized tour. I think we spent about 12-13hrs with John during our tours and by the end it felt like he was part of our family:) We had a wonderful time and made us feel extremely comfortable. I will continue to use Rubios Tours whenever visiting Puerto Rico

We met John in Rio Grande and he drove us up to the trail. We hiked for almost 5 hours. John kept the whole trip amazing and fun. All four of us learned and laughed. highlighted by an amazing vista at Mount Britton. World class attraction, world class tour, world class guide. (Very reasonable fee). You should see this sight if your are in Puerto Rico. And your will see it best with John(Rubio).
