5.00Early morning is a good time to do this tour. Old San Juan is get waking up, so its not crowded and its still quiet. Walking around the old city walls is impressive. It is about 2.5 mile walk, you have 2 hours of free time, to grab lunch and do some shopping. Love the ride back to hotel. Michelle was a great guide!
Shorter than expected

3.00This was advertised as a 5 hour experience. Combination van and walking. In fact, we drove about 1 mile, then the rest was walking. Not a problem, but it’s not even close to 5 hours - we started at 9:00 and the guide left us at 11:00. The tour presentation was good, but scripted. Honestly not what I expected.

5.00Communication was great...was texted the day before and called by guide day of tour. A coach bus picked us up and dropped us off right in front of our hotel. Driver was nice and bus was clean. Our ride to San juan was about 10 minutes. Walking tour was about 2 hours and gave us information on Puerto Rico and it's history. Guides were helpful and knowledgeable! Last 2 hours we had free time for lunch and shopping. Nathan and Angel our guides even gave recommendations if wasn't sure where to go. Our guides and Bus driver were even flexible enough due to traffic congestion to bring us to quiet and safe spot to board bus at end. They even were considerate of rest of day plans for our group so as not to miss next tours!! Couldn't ask for better! Would recommend this tour especially if want to learn about San Juan and Puerto Rico history.
Nathan was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

4.00Michelle was a knowledgeable tour guide but needs to learn a bit more about some of the statues on the tour. Also would be helpful if she used a microphone. Good tour guide over all.
