Wonderful Tour! - Great tour!!! Was a lot of walking wear comfortable shoes. You learn a lot about the history and get a lot of photo opportunities. Definitely recommend. Don't recommend taking very young kids because they might get tired so if you do be prepared to carry them lol. We did and we made it through it was a great work out lol.

An educated friend in an old city - Antonio is exceedingly warm and full of facts., not to mention bilingual and insightful. While there is plenty to say and learn about old San Juan, he was gracious about taking many questions that came up from his fascinating comments. I was raised elsewhere on the island, and had visited old San Juan numerous times before and still learned interesting things every step of the way. I am very happy to suggest and recommend Antonio to really get a good foundation.(!) and overview of a special city that is obviously also special to Antonio.

Great walking experience in San Juan - Carlos was a very pleasant man and gave a great description of the sites & its history. Great experience! The walk was at a moderate pace & Carlos included tips on restaurants. He also was good at reaching out to us with derails for the meeting & places to park for those driving.

Melanie made our whole trip to Old San Juan!! - Melanie was amazing! She brought Old San Juan to life with her deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and architecture. I especially appreciated how she connected the past to Puerto Rico’s current political landscape in such a clear and engaging way. She was friendly, professional, and made the tour feel personal and memorable. Highly recommended!

Great tour and mini-history lesson - This tour was excellent! Our tour guide, Melanie, was very informative and gave us a great mini-history lesson on PR and its complicated past. She was enthusiastic, friendly, and clearly passionate about sharing her home and its culture. I came away wanting to know and appreciate more. Loved it! The tour was not strenuous (thankfully) but covered a lot of ground and was just the right length. We had a lovely dinner at one of the recommended restaurants after the tour. Very pleased with this experience!

We did the **Historic Old... - We did the **Historic Old San Juan Sunset Walking Tour** with Patria Tours, and our guide was Antonia. The locations he took us to were beautiful, and walking through Old San Juan at sunset was definitely a nice experience. However, the guiding experience itself could have been much better. His explanations were not very clear, and it was difficult to understand the information he was trying to share. His accent was quite hard to follow, and the speaker he used was not loud enough, so many parts of the tour were missed because we simply couldn’t hear him well. He also spent a lot of time asking questions like “What do you think happened here?” before explaining, which made the flow confusing — and even when he did explain, the details were not very clear. Additionally, for the price we paid, we expected a more engaging and easy-to-follow experience. The tour felt a bit expensive for what was offered and could definitely be priced a little lower. Overall, the places and timing were good, but the clarity, guiding style, and value for money need improvement
