What To Expect
Paseo de la Princesa
Paseo de la Princesa is considered one of the most scenic walkways in the world. This promenade is imporant because of the important historical sites and statues along the walkway.
La Fortaleza - Palacio de Santa Catalina
La Fortaleza (The Fortress) is the official residence of the governors of Puerto Rico. La Fortaleza was the first fortification built in San Juan harbor. The original tower, now called Torre del Homenaje, or "tower of homage," still stands; its name derives from an island tradition in which the resident governor climbs to the top of the tower to pledge a solemn oath of loyalty and courage during dangerous times.

5.00I could not recommend this tour more. My wife and I were in PR first for a wedding in a different part of the island then we ended our trip in San Juan. This was a gift for my wife for our wedding anniversary and it didn’t disappoint. We were very lucky to just have the two of us with our tour guide Murat. He has a wealth of knowledge about Old Town San Juan and a clear passion for the rich history of Puerto Rico. Would highly recommend this tour to anybody wanting to learn more about beautiful Old Town San Juan and the history and culture of Puerto Rico!
Excellent history lesson
