Great tour! - Adrian was a great tour guide. Super knowledgeable and fun. The tour went a half hour longer than planned, so we didn't have much time to linger at the fortress, but I enjoyed the tour thoroughly! Probably times where we could have been walking and listening at the same time to make it more on time.

From Old San Juan, with love - Melanie was an absolutely sweetheart, I could feel the love she had for the culture and joy she had in sharing it with us. The stops were beautiful and her commentary was the perfect blend of personal significance as well as dates and history. The thoughtful actions she took to keep the group in shade, offer to take photos, make stops for us to take in views were so kind.

Fantastic walking tour of historic area - Very informative and enjoyable walking tour, ending at El Morro, which is a must-see. Melanie was a wonderful guide. It was a hot day, but the rest and water breaks made it an easy walk.

We loved our Old San Juan Walking Tour! - Adrian was an incredibly knowledge guide! We learned so much about Puerto Rican history and throughly enjoyed our tour! We saw many points of interests. The time flew by and the tour was over before we knew it! It was great that it ended at the fort so that we could explore on our own, but not before he gave us a lot of information before leaving us! Would totally recommend! I would suggest taking the morning tour as it gets hot very early. Wear comfortable shoes. Hydrate before going, bring along water if you can and wear sunblock.
