A whole different dimension on our visit - My husband and I did this tour with our guide, Stephanie. She was so knowledgeable and professional. We had a wonderful time learning about Old San Juan and the historical sites. We were able to take pictures and walk around. She was very open to questions. Then we visited Luiza to learn about the African influence in Puerto Rico. We had a wonderful lunch there right on the ocean. It was stunning. Then we drove to Santurce where we saw murals and learned about the vibrant art scene in PR. Stephanie was able to give us details we would have never accessed without the tour. And most remarkably SHE WAS AN AMAZING DRIVER. It was so worth the time and cost. We highly recommend it.

Authentic Puerto Rico - I highly recommend this tour if you’re looking to see authentic Puerto Rico outside of Old San Juan. Stephanie, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history and culture of Puerto Rico. The food at the lunch stop was delicious. I was delighted to eat local food from a local restaurant. This is a must see. You will not be disappointed.

Wonderful Day! - Combination of history, art, African culture, and good food! Our guide, Stephanie, was amazing, and driving tours are what we prefer. It was a hot day, so we enjoyed the AC, music, and a brief nap in between tours. Perfect!

A Bird’s Eye Overview of a Great Island - Very fun and informative overview of the history and people of Puerto Rico. Our guide, Stephanie was amazing! She was knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely passionate about her people, which gave the tour that extra personal touch. Next time, I will do a tour like this not during a holiday week so you can see and experience everything because some places were closed due to the Holy Week holiday. Overall great experience!
