We booked for 6 kids and 6 adults including my father with dementia and mobility issues. Tania was accommodating and communicative from the start. She asked about any special interests from our group and made it a point to include a special dancing event for my sister. She made plans for logistics including easy restroom breaks/access and managed the traffic in San Juan expeditiously yet safely. She was also very patient with my father and sat with him while we visited the Castillo San Felipe del Morro and even allowed my mother time to visit the Totem Telurico. It's very clear that Tania is just a loving person and she really exemplified the personality that is Puerto Rico!
Great way to see all the highlights of Old San Juan in the limited time available on a cruise. My wife isn’t able to walk well and it’s so hot & humid that being able to get around in an air conditioned vehicle while learning about the sites was well worth it .
Tania and Rafael were fantastic. They accommodated our family with respect and love. Mom had a wheelchair and it was heavy, but they never stopped helping us with it. We loved the tour we got and since it was a private tour we were able to see a lot. We also got a fantastic lunch at a beautiful location with wonderful food. If you are going to San Juan and prefer a private tour we highly recommend them!!!
We have been to San Juan many times, but this is by far the best tour we have ever taken! Within a day of booking the tour, our guide, Tania, texted me personally to introduce herself and to get feedback on what type of tour my husband and I would enjoy. Tania's text was the first ever that I received from a tour guide before I reached out. What an amazing woman Tania is!! Not only did she custom design an itinerary for us but she provided endless historical information. This was a private tour in a very comfortable air-conditioned minivan. We saw so many interesting places; ones we had never seen before. When we travel, we like to enjoy an authentic local meal. Tania took us to a restaurant near the beach with the most amazing food options. The fresh conch salad was so delicious as were the other items we chose. My favorites were the two different plantain meals; which we shared because the portions were huge. I'm sure we will return to San Juan again in the future and when we do, we will definitely book a tour with Tania! Not only is she a great tour guide but I feel like we made a new friend. I highly recommend the "Old St. John Scenic: On Cart Minimal Walks" tour with Tania.

Tania was the perfect tour guide for this trip! She took us all over Puerto Rico. We went to the most awesome place for lunch overlooking the ocean. She was so nice and personable and we really enjoyed our day with her.

I have limited mobility and this was perfect for me. Rafael let me ride in the front as getting in a car is difficult for me and we spent a wonderful day seeing the sights. We loved our local experience lunch and purchased coconut candy to take home with us .We appreciate being dropped at the ship with our luggage.

We truly appreciate you and hope to see you again in the future! Warm regards, Tour Express PR
There were 12 of us in the group and Harry did a fantastic job. Very knowledgeable of the area and explained the history of where we were. He brought us to fabulous restaurant and went out of his way to help the waitress who didn’t speak English. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who comes to San Juan.
Hi, Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed the experience with Harry. Your recommendation means a lot to us—we truly appreciate it! Warm regards, Tour Express PR
This trip was perfect. My wife was having trouble with her feet and we got to see the town without extreme walking!!!
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m very happy your wife could enjoy Old San Juan comfortably without too much walking. It was a pleasure having you both — hope to see you again in Puerto Rico! 🌴
