Knowledgeable and friendly host - We had an absolutely amazing time with Stephanie! She was extremely knowledgeable about the area, the art, and the culture and showed us local favorites and stories we wouldn’t be able to find on our own. Stephanie allowed us plenty of time to stop and take pictures and experience the local culture and food. Usually local tours are one and done but I’d definitely book this one again!

Great for Solo travelers - Great tour of San Juan. I would recommend this operator for solo travelers. The operator provided enough time at each stop to take photos and to learn the history of that place.

Stephanie was an awesome... - Stephanie was an awesome tour guide. She was very informative and flexible since we were the only two people on the tour. She educated us on the history of Old San Juan. She gave us time to get out the van and take pictures. The trip to Loíza was nice! We got to see a bomba class and ate some delicious alcapurrias! My favorite part was the walk in Santurce. The art was beautiful. She showed us quite a few murals and told us about the artists. We took lots of pictures! 10/10 I highly recommend this tour! Stephanie knows her stuff and is cool peoples!

Fun excursion - This was a very educational trip. Stephanie is super knowledgeable about Puerto Rico and very helpful. Our favorite part was touring the murals in Santurce. Plan this one for the start of your trip so you'll know where to go back to to explore more.

Stephanie was an amazing guide - Stephanie was an amazing tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and shared very interesting history along the tour routes. Plenty of opportunities to wander off a bit in your group and get pictures or tastes of goodies from local vendors and shops. Stephanie was very helpful and kind. My kids really enjoyed this. We stopped for a taste of local food that was included with the tour, and bought more on our own to sample. Wear comfy clothes and shoes. Restrooms are available on the route. Water is available but we also brought Yeti's and drank those as well. Plan on being out for a good 4-4/2 hours. Very well worth the cost. Don't forget cash for gratuity because there aren't ATMs on the route.

Tour Review - I really enjoyed our guide Stephanie. She gave us a lot of history about art and culture in Puerto Rico that I did not know of. It was a great tour and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to know about the culture.
