Excellent tour with great local knowledge and humor. Carlos was a fantastic guide and gave a few dinner recommendations as well as additional tips for touring the castles and walking along the fort on the roads.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
For my first trip to PR I chose to take the walking tour and Carlos was my guide for the afternoon. He was amazing! Very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He provided water which was helpful in the heat. He was a great representation of the culture that is so rich in PR. It was 2 hrs but I did have to leave the tour early and Carlos gave me clear directions. I was able to walk through San Juan on my own! He did such a good job familiarizing us with the area that I felt confident and had no issues. Carlos is a gem-book the tour!!!
Thanks do much! Glad you enjoyed the tour!

We really enjoyed hearing the history of San Juan and walking through the beautiful streets. Anyone visiting for the first time should make this part of their itinerary. Remember to wear comfortable clothes and shoes.

Carlo M. our tour guide was super fun, very knowledgeable, and answered all our questions. He took us around San Juan and even stopped to get some of their local ice cream. It was one of the best experiences we have had here in Puerto Rico, getting to know about all of the rich history and what makes Puerto Rico so special.
Thanks so much! It was a pleasure having you in the tour.
If you want to experience the history, culture and charm of Old San Juan, then this is the tour for you! Extremely reasonable rate, two hour walking tour of Old San Juan. We were in a small tour group and that kept the atmosphere so engaging and active. Carlos was so charming and knowledgeable and we learned so much about the culture and history of Puerto Rico. He had wonderful recommendations for food, activities and local crafts. It was a highlight of our trip and we highly recommend.
