Perfect Introduction to San Juan - This was an excellent walking tour of San Juan. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, and the topics covered were both interesting and relevant. We spent an appropriate amount of time in each area and covered a lot of ground without feeling rushed. The guide was very open to questions and provided thoughtful, thorough answers throughout. Overall, the tour was well worth the cost, and I'd highly recommend it.

Late cancellation - Cancelled last minute... constant reminders about the walk even though it wasn't happening. A text would have been wonderful as most of the communication was happening that way.
