Must tour in San Juan 👍

Jitendra_S, Sep 2023

Great guide, very knowledgeable. Easy to follow and very reasonable cost. Only challenge was weather. It was very hot and humid. Dan Juan weather in September 😜

Very informative

Duane_A, Sep 2023

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative. Speaks very good English. Tour was an hour and a half. I would definitely recommend

The cathedral and the scenery and the history

Ismael_O, Sep 2023

The wall, the history, the cathedral, and the whole city. The guide was very nice and informative. We learned a lot about how old San Juan came about, did not know how it got its name. It was named after Saint John the Baptist

Amazing walking tour of Old San Juan

Jessie_M, Aug 2023

My 16 year old daughter and I really enjoyed the walking tour. Marjorie was patiently waiting despite our late arrival, extremely knowledgeable, and had a great attitude. She happily volunteered to take pictures of everyone and is a great photographer. Marjorie’s knowledge, passion and fun spirit made this an AMAZING experience. We just arrived in Puerto Rico and it was wonderful learning so much history. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Marjorie!

Everything was so beautiful!! Our tour guide was amazing! Everything was like things you see on movies. We loved it. The cathedral, the wall that was built, and definitely our pit stop to get Agua and Timber! I would highly recommend. I just wished it was a little cooler, then it would have been perfecto!

I’d recommend doing this tour on your first morning in San Juan. Great introduction to the city and great context about the history, colonization and culture. Ricardo was informative- especially about Carribean history.

shout out to yoli for being incredibly personable and knowledgeable through the tour. prior to the tour, i had asked for recommendations on dining and activities, and she took the time to better guide me on my stay. she shared such good recommendations and we had such conversation about culture, puerto rico, and other things. during the tour, she also shared some awesome fun facts and i took note and definitely walked out better than before! you will absolutely enjoy the tour, and especially with yoli!

Tour of the Island of Old San Juan

Josiane_D, Apr 2023

The world’s smallest house, the umbrella art display by the governor’s mansion and shaved ice! I remember getting shaved ice as a little girl bought back memories
