5.00Great tour of old town and El Morro with a very knowledgeable and engaging local guide. Communication was easy both before and during the tour. Stopping in shaded areas was a huge relief on a sunny day, as was the water break. We never felt rushed, even with our 1 year old in tow. Ending the tour at the castle gave us the leisure to explore at our own pace and we took up the guide's recommendation of a good place for local food in La Perla afterwards, which was also top notch!

5.00I highly recommend this tour for first time travelers and anyone who’s been here before as well. Melanie was our tour guide and she did such an amazing job showing us all the historical places, sharing so many facts, she’s very knowledgeable. She was very, helpful, friendly, respectful and has so much love for Puerto Rico. My tour was on 3/29 and it was amazing, I had such a great experience. We walked, took breaks for shade/water/bathroom. This is a must have to get your day and vacation started visiting Old San Juan.

5.00Our guide was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and passionate about her country. Lots of walking, but not so fast paced you couldn't keep up. Lots of interesting and beautiful stops along the way. And ending at the fort was a nice way to part ways from the group and explore on your own.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity!

Great Old San Juan Walking Tour

5.00First time trip to Puerto Rico. Staying a few days in Old San Juan and wanted a short, walking tour to get an overview of city. Melanie was our Tour Guide and was excellent. She is a local and provided a great overview of Old San Juan. Melanie took us to some highlights and we ended our tour at “El Morro”. We were then able to explore at our own pace the rest of the fort. Overall tour took a little over 2 hours with a quick bathroom and water break. I would highly recommend.
