Each stop was filled with rich narratives that brought the city to life - We learned about the fascinating blend of cultures that have shaped San Juan, from the indigenous Taíno people to the Spanish colonizers. Each stop was filled with rich narratives that brought the city to life in a way that a large group tour simply couldn’t.

Return trip to OSJ - Papa was very friendly and easy to ask questions of. He had more knowledge than we could absorb and it was a very interesting history lesson. Showed us several places to see on our own and was all around a good host.
