Great tour. Our guide...

Great tour. Our guide new tons of really cool interesting history and made it interesting for the kids. We booked at 1pm and it was too hot for my 10 year old to finish, but we stuck it out for the first 1.5 hours and left early. I wish I could have kept going, it was a really interesting intro to Viejo San Juan!

Total Worth It! Great Experience

Alexis was so wonderful and informative. She was very knowledgeable and professional. Her interaction with the group made the tour so inspiring. She was able and willing to answer all questions. This trip was a gift to my sister for her 65th Birthday and it was truly a highlight of our vacation. Kudos to all who made it possible. She was such a delight. Peggy & Kathy

Wonderfully Informative Tour of Old San Juan

As a history teacher, it was so wonderful to take this tour led by a fellow enthusiast. Our guide, Agrael was so considerate, kind and knowledgeable about the area. She checked in with us about an hour before our start time and kept us at a comfortable pace the whole time. Highly recommend for anyone interested in Caribbean history or just discovering the gems of the area!

Picture is deceiving

The picture on the site is DECEIVING! The umbrellas are there only on special occasions! We really were expecting to see them. But the instructor was amazing and funny! The tour was very educational and fun
