Perfect Day in Old San Juan - I had a wonderful tour of Old San Juan! Our knowledgeable guide took us through the city, sharing its history and intriguing stories. I learned so much more about the fort than I would have on my own. I highly recommend this experience.

Very pleased - Tour guide was great, very knowledgeable. Learned alot of history of old San Juan and Puerto Rico. Tour moves as fast as the group allows, no feeling of being rushed or trying to keep a schedule. I like how the tour ends inside of the El Morro fortresses after a brief tour, so you can explore it on your own before leaving. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour - Maria led a great tour of Old San Juan. It was VERY hot and humid, and our full tour group included people who were up for the walk and others who were finding it a challenge. She did an excellent job of balancing the needs of all and was careful to make sure everyone had a good experience. Maria is very knowledgeable and has a deep love for her country that really enhanced the experience. At the end of the tour, she shared restaurant recommendations that led us to an amazing, authentic Puerto Rican lunch.

Old San Juan walking tour - Our tour guide Maria was very nice and shared a ton of history during this tour. The day we went had a heat advisory but Maria made sure to find shady spots for us to stop while she was talking. However, there wasn’t much time given for people to take pictures.
