Great tour of old San Juan - Melanie was a great tour guide. She was very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. She made sure to give us water breaks throughout since it starts getting hot as you are walking. Loved the tour of El morro

True Boricua - Wendy_A, Aug 2025 Melanie was a fantastic tour guide! She was kind, exciting, and a very good storyteller. The history of San Juan is so interesting. A must-do if you are in the area. As a Boriqua myself, it was great to know my culture more deeply. Only note: it was pouring rain towards the end of our tour so El Morro was closed, which our tour guide did not know until we got there. We did get refunds, though.

Antonio was great! - Antonio was very knowledgeable and you could tell he was proud of his heritage. He stayed beyond the tour ending time to give us background info on El Morro before we could explore on our own. It was fun to see so many locals greet him as we walked Old San Juan.
