5.00We had an amazing time learning about Old San Juan>>>our tour guide was amazing and very informative! Great photo ops while learning the history. Some tips...apply sunscreen and have sunglasses or a hat as well as some good walking shoes...there are some steep hills and uneven cobblestone. Our tour guide even took pics of everyone who wanted one so no one was left out. Great experience and would definitely recommend if you want to learn more about Old San Juan.

5.00We had a great walking tour with Alexia. She was very knowledgeable about San Juan and shared the information as we walked around the city to see different points of interest. The weather was warm and she always tried to find shade for us during her talks. She encouraged questions and participation. We would recommend this walk for those looking to find out more about the area.
Very informative and enjoyable!

4.00Very good walking tour of San Juan. For two hours, thought we’d visit more sites but the ones we did see we were given a great history of the city. Eli was excellent, very friendly and funny and also watched out for our safety and even made some additional recommendations on where to eat, drink, and shop in the city.
