A+ Experience

Yesenia was amazing! Very knowledgeable and walked at a manageable pace. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. This tour is highly recommended!

Good Experience

The tour was informative and we genuinely appreciated the experience. The only suggestion I would have is that we lingered a little too long at a couple locations. I felt and could see the group begin to get a little restless. Keeping the group energized and engaged is def needed if we were going to last whole tour (4 hours total). The tour guide herself was delightful and was knowledgeable. Overall, good experience.

Old San Juan Walkimg Tour

Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot of history. I would say to wear sunblock and a hat, also make sure to bring water and a handheld fan. Definitely wear comfy walking shoes!

Walking Old San Juan

Frances was adorable. Certainly informative. Loved her cheer and spunkiness. She knew exactly where to stop for much needed refreshments. There was no water in Old San Juan the day we visited. We were finally able to use the restrooms at the fort. The fort was amazing! Loved the views. Love the history.
