Catedral Basilica Menor de San Juan Bautista
The graceful Catedral de San Juan Bautista, or Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, is a can't-miss historic landmark in the heart of the old city. Highlights When visiting the cathedral, we won't want to miss the following highlights: -The tomb of Ponce de León -The mummy of St. Pio -The stained glass windows
The Capitol of Puerto Rico
El Capitolio de Puerto Rico was to become the House of Representatives and the location for senators’ offices. The building faces the Atlantic Ocean and has a somewhat intimidating design.

Fabulous job
Everything about this tour was great. It’s a combo of driving and walking which worked well for our group. Our guide was very good at what he does. Had cool water for us that was much appreciated. Took photos for us as well. You’ll definitely enjoy this if you’re looking for money well spent

First of all, I was picked up on time with my children and my mom, my tour guide was exceptional, he was beyond amazing. He was savvy, funny and took us to so many places and took his time explaining everything. We had a blast, I traveled with a 3 month old and he gave me the option to stay in the car because it was a hot day. The tour was amazing but my tour guide made it even more amazing. The day was gorgeous and the experience was 10/10

Lismar was a great guide and had knowledge of every stop along the way, she made sure we were comfortable and adjusted the trip to our liking! Make sure you ask her to go by the art district because it is incredible!! Thanks again for the great trip!

Great tour, highly recommend!!!!
Great tour! Highly recommend. It was very hot in July, so we loved the air conditioned van. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and took us to see several places. He offered to take pictures and was very friendly. We got to see the beauty and history of San Juan. We had a few stops to get up close to the historic places. My only critic would be that the bottled water they provided was a very small one and they gave it to us half way through the tour. I was parched with the heat and walking so water was definitely needed. Just needed it sooner and more of it but I definitely had a great time and learned so much.
