Private Tour Question

I can't find many recent reviews of Tours with Ellis. I'm sure that's due to the hurricane. If you wanted to do an island tour with outskirts of rainforest and Old San Juan, would you go with Carlos Medina (Charlie's Custom Tours) or Tours with Ellis?:cool:

I toured w/ Ellis 3 years ago and he was fabulous. I still follow his FB page, he is touring again but has modified tours due to the hurricane damage.

Thank You.:)

I just booked a personal tour with him for the first week of April. He’s extremely accommodating and responsive. For four and 1/2 hours the cost is $50 pp with a minimum of $150. Pick up is at CVS across from the port. He provides water. No deposit required. We dock at 12:00. Tour will be 12:30 to 5:00 pm.

We’ve done a tour with Charlie’s Custom Tours and just booked another tour with him for the spring. It was one of our favorite tours. He picked us up at our hotel, gave our tour, took pictures and emailed them to us, picked our luggage up at our hotel and dropped us off at port.

Definitely Charlie’s Custom tours. We just went on a tour with Carlos two weeks ago.

We only use Carlos Medina from Charlie's Custom Tours and he is passionate about providing A+ service and he delivers every time. Everyone in PR is still recovering from the devastating hurricanes of last year and all tour operators are hurting because of all the lost business. We will be in San Juan in June and again in December and have retained Charlie's Custom Tours both times......we cannot wait!!!!!

I am curious,with all the damage and closed off areas in the forests, where are you now able to travel on these tours? Are they able to provide an updated itinerary for December or is it still too early to really know?

Email Carlos and he will give you an idea of possible itineraries based on current conditions and what interests you.....

Ellis is on FB. “Tours with Ellis” You can message him and he will respond the same day. I called him last week to book a rainforest tour.

We did a private tour with Ellis. It was very good and they were very accommodating. I would definitely book them again..

What type of tour did you do with Ellis? Does he have a website (I sent him a message on FB) but was wondering if I could do more research so I don't bombard him with a thousand questions :p

What type of vehicle does he have?

Thanks!

I just booked with him (Ellis) for May. He's using a Ford Explorer for us (2-4 people). Semi-custom itinerary. Seems nice enough, will comment after I get back.

Ellis was very nice and patient on the phone when I spoke with him last week. He even ended up calling me to ask me a follow up question.

Does he only do smaill groups?

Seems to, since he either uses a Ford Explorer or Minivan type vehicle.

Does he only do smaill groups?

Does he only do smaill groups?

No, he accommodates very large groups as well. He has done many large groups using multiple vehicles.

I have been on one tour with Ellis and worked with him to book two more that unfortunately were cancelled because of changes in plans. He is unbelievably helpful, even when he has nothing to gain, as was the case when he gave advice for OSJ, hotels, beaches and even a shout out to another tour guide. His tours are great, although somewhat altered due to the hurricane damage. If he doesn’t offer what you’re looking for, he’ll do his best to help you find a way to make it happen.
