5.00Narai was great. She was helpful and informed. We got a taste of the situation and history in PR which was great and important as a tourist to understand in the culture. Going on a Sunday had perks, but also some places were closed so we planned to return which was fine. Churches also were in session so visiting them were delayed. But that was out of anyone’s control! Happy to have gone on a weekend and had a great time walking around and learning about the city! She did a great job keeping the group engaged and comfortable (in the shade and watered) despite heat!

1.00Tour guide no showed. Only notified 10 minutes before tour began. Extremely frustrated traveling out and tour not happening. I tried to call the tour guide company at 1:30 pm but it was “out of their business hours”. I tried to message but no one responded. Completely disappointed. Would not recommend going on this tour

5.00She was very thorough in her knowledge of Puerto Rico and the places that she showed us. We got to visit some of the churches and El Morro. We were the only ones on the tour; so we got extra time which was nice.
History, nature and sun!
