Walking Old San Juan with Oasis - Excellent your with wonderful guide, Oasis. She was very knowledgeable, patient, and conscientious about the needs of our family which ranged from 12-77 years old. Oasis provided us each with water, walked at a pace suitable for all of us, and pointed out bathrooms along the way. Her presentation of Old San Juan history and culture was interesting and engaging. We felt we learned a lot in a short time and hope to return some time for more knowledge and experience of this fascinating place. We definitely would recommend Oasis as a tour guide for adults and children of all ages. 💯!!!

Great way to see San Juan and get a real feel for the city and its culture - Oasis met us with a smile and her camera. Her tour was very interesting and personalized. She made us feel like VIP guests in her city. We visited the two churches, walked through Old San Juan, viewed the Governor’s Palace and finished our tour at El Moro. Her information and incites on the area were very valuable and made our day in San Juan very very special.

A Must Do Activity!! - We almost didn’t book the Old San Juan Walking Tour with Oasis Tour Line—but, we’re so glad we did because it was the highlight of our trip! The private tour felt intimate and relaxed, moving completely at our pace, and we were able to stop for photo opportunities whenever we asked. Oasis was incredibly knowledgeable, charming, and fantastic with the kids—patiently answering their questions and keeping them entertained the entire time. A perfect blend of history, fun, and flexibility. I would suggest trying to schedule in the early morning; the streets get crowded and the sun starts to heat things up (we went at @ 8am--perfect time)! Highly recommend!!

Great private tour we highly recommend Oasis! - Oasis was a professional and knowledgeable tour guide! She customized the tour to meet our desires and was just so friendly. It was great to be the only two on the tour so we could hear the information. She brought cold water and snacks as promised and took pictures with her professional camera, as well as with our phone. It was about 2 miles start to finish, with some hills/uneven ground, so wear your comfortable shoes. We are so glad that we chose Oasis and highly recommend her tour!

Great Overview of Sites and History in Old San Juan - Oasis (the tour guide) provided an informative 90-minute walking tour by describing the history back to 1493 to present, pointing out buildings, sculptures and sites along the way. She is knowledgeable and personable. I recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in learning about San Juan’s history.
