5.00Great history background, especially loved the part about the castle El Morro. Interesting information about Puerto Rico and it's politics, prompted by a drive-by from the governor.
Passion and enthusiasm galore

4.00Our tour guide, Melanie, was very passionate and enthusiastic. As a former teacher, I appreciate that she loves her job so much. She was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. She definitely knew her history. The amount of information that she relayed to us was massive. And that would be my only complaint. She talked a lot. I’m really not complaining just stating that it was information overkill. Nevertheless, the whole thing was extremely professional and well done. You can always count on TripAdvisor for a great experience.

5.00Melanie was a certified tour guide and really knew her stuff. She educated us on the locations and history behind the buildings and the island itself. The tour was great! Lots of walking and it was hot but we took frequent breaks and had plenty of opportunities to take photos.
