Wonderful Experience

It was really nice getting to tour the city with someone who could point out some interesting things and share some interesting facts! It can get pretty hot so bring cold water! But the tour guide was a wealth of knowledge and did her best to keep us in the shade.

Great tour!

Very informative tour, Alexia is great! I didn’t realize how much history Old San Juan has. Alexia took her time showing us various historical sites a d providing the history behind San Juan and the various sites we stopped by. She was also patient with us asking her additional question regarding Puerto Rico as well. I enjoyed this tour and highly recommend!

Very good historical overview of Old San Juan. It gets hot so wear your hats and sunglasses and bring water. Your guide Carlos was nice and he answered a lot of questions. He would have been ok without the mike cause it made an echo sound that became hard to hear some times.
