A serious personalized history of San Juan

5.00Juan was a very engaging and knowledgeable guide. He pointed out several plants of interest in addition to more history than you can possibly remember. The group size is limited to allow for a more personal experience than other tours. This tour is best for those who are serious about the history of San Juan (and Puerto Rico in general).
Informative and Fun

5.00The guide was very well educated on the history of Puerto Rico. It was so informative and we learned a lot. I thought his pace was perfect. He went slow enough to get to experience the site's. I never felt rushed. He also recommended a great place for lunch that is also getting 5 stars. Great experience! Highly recommend this tour

5.00The tour lasted a good two hours, Dr. Jose Morales was very courteous and knowledgeable about Puerto Rican history and culture. He both spoken in English & Spanish to accommodate us, took us to various sites from forts to Cathedral and convent. Mentioned many key points along the way and provided us with fresh water halfway through the tour and restroom break when needed. When asked he recommended several places for lunch, a great scholar with a wealth of knowledge! Thank you, loved the experience
