A great way to get an introduction to Old San Juan. - This was a great tour. It gives a good overall prospective to Old San Juan, what’s there, some history of the forts and a good bit of time to explore on your own. The walk is relatively easy. We encountered only one hill and it was short. I really enjoyed the tour.

Great time! - Love the music and the local bars. I would recommend it if it is your first time in the area. I like experiencing areas off the main path. They kept everyone entertained.

Great tour of the sites - Our tour guide, Michelle, was fantastic! She moved quickly enough to give us a great experience, but slowly enough to get some great pictures of the sites. She was also super accommodating for my mom, who had done difficulty with the walking. You should be aware that the tour is about 2.5 miles, and there are definitely some steep inclines along the way. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting the city!

Beautiful walk through... - Beautiful walk through Old San Juan. Learned a lot of history about the island. Michelle was a great tour guide. My only suggestion is start the end closer to the time the restaurants open.

Disappointing - Although Michelle was quite respectful and sweet, I felt that the tour was disappointing. I thought we would really learn about old San Juan and would be able to visit some of the sites shown. I felt it was something I could have really done myself and not paid 139.00

Unfinished tour - Michelle, our tour guide, provided an exceptional and informative experience. However, the tour's itinerary could be enhanced. The remaining two hours could have been utilized more effectively by incorporating additional activities, such as a visit to the fort atop of the hill, an extended drive-through of San Juan, or a partnership with a local Puerto Rican restaurant to offer an authentic dining experience. The current structure leaves a considerable amount of unscheduled time. Therefore, the tour is rated at 2.5 out of 3 stars. It is also worth noting that this experience could be independently enjoyed via alternative transportation methods on your own.
