Welcome to our window to the world and home of the very best and most unique private experiences in Puerto Rico.
Our company, MBTION was born in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria’s devastating dance with Puerto Rico in 2017, and our tale unfolds from the depths of loss.
A transformation transpired as a world class car interior fabricator and former Car Audio World Champion turned Uber driver after his shop was destroyed and looted, found a new purpose inspired by the innocent musings of his 7-year-old son and Co-Founder, Marcos Alexis, and how his enchanting notion to unveil Puerto Rico’s magic to the world gave birth to an idea: MBTION (Marcos Best Tours In Our Nation).
As life was really hard and 19 hours shifts Ubering were consuming our founders life, who was only left with his car and some clothes after the hurricane, he was still trying to squeeze time to get all the permits, insurance and licences to register his new venture, but also had to drive that much to get the needed money to make it happen. But one day, while doing a $5 ride at midnight he was telling a customer about his kid’s idea and his struggles with time, and when they arrived to the destination the customer replied to him “Man, you must stop doing the rat race and take control of your life. Look in the mirror, is this what you want for your son? Quit this and get your act together, so you can do what you enjoy showing visitors your island, and being an example give your son a chance in life”. That line made him realize that he had to act swiftly and in a leap of faith and with a $5,000 loan from his father, he quited doing Uber following his son’s vision and his passion to build and, like a Lego set, put each piece together until MBTION was born.
Since then our experiences have been inspired by Marcos Alexis, who in 2023 became the World’s Youngest Internationaly Certified Tour Guide at only 12 years old, and crafted with echoes of love and hospitality reminiscent of our grandparents’s countryside haven in Camuy, who taught us that withholding the richness of the experiences we can deliver from others was a subtle theft. Thus, with that ethos guiding us, we extend to each customer an unparalleled human experience –which we believe is their birthright, not just a paid service.
But we also see ourselves as Ambassadors and keepers of our beloved island, and understanding our duty is with our people we share our blessings with those in need not only delivering food, water and free transportation during emergencies, but also sharing our experiences with our disadvantaged communities families so they can experience and discover a Puerto Rico their limitations don’t allow them to know.
With that in mind our focus lies in meticulously curating personalized adventures to Puerto Rico’s most exceptional destinations, from our stunning bioluminiscent bays, lush rainforests and pristine beaches and cays, to the historical wonders of America’s oldest city Old San Juan, and teaming that focus with our intimate knowledge of this enchanting place, cultivated through a lifetime exploring it’s captivating landscapes, we make sure deliver more than just a vacation; an immersive journey into the soul of Puerto Rico’s hidden treasures.
My name is Hector Morales, and in 2020 I was hired to be the General Manager by MBTION VIP’s new ownership. The goal was to infuse the company with a better structure while preserving the unique flavor and unrivaled customer service the company provides to every visitor that books with them. Keeping in mind that we also had to stay true to the humble origins of the company that was born from the idea of our founder.
MBTION VIP was founded with the purpose of having every tourist do things in Puerto Rico the VIP way
In true “American Dream” fashion, our company was first envisioned by an Uber driver who had a vision of a better way to experience Puerto Rico. One day a customer told him “stop doing the rat race, take control of your life, and show visitors your island which is what you truly enjoy”. That line made him realize that it might be a great idea to show tourists around the way he wanted to. From there, he started to build and put together each piece like a Lego set and MBTION VIP was created.
Today, our company is under a new and dynamic ownership. MBTION VIP continues to be the top private experience provider in San Juan, PR, USA! We vow to keep the hard work and dedication to remain leading by continuing to provide an unrivaled costumer service and bringing every customer that makes us their go-to choice to the very best places and experiences Puerto Rico has to offer because you deserve the very best. Let us at MBTION VIP show you the wonders of the place we call home, Puerto Rico, the Hawaii of the Caribbean!
