5.00Tour was great. Roberto was very knowledgeable on history of Old San Juan churches, first, statues and cobblestones .As a senior he also was considerate to sitting in shade when needed. Since I was solo he offered to take my pic so I could remember the experience. So glad I chose this tour.

5.00Great tour and history of Old San Juan. Roberto was passionate about Puerto Rico and shared that enthusiasm with us. He answered every question we through at him and invited as many questions as we could come up with. It was a fun day with a group of friends learning about the culture and history of Puerto Rico.
Start your San Juan trip with this tour, and see if you can get on one with Guide Nahomi.

5.00This was a great introductory tour to Old San Juan. Perfect for a first day, to get the big picture and decide where else to go deeper. Our guide Nahomi was the best. Not only was she bursting with information, her enthusiasm and warmth were infectious. She was early, worked hard to make sure her guests were comfortable and had the trip planned perfectly. In steamy San Juan, Nahomi managed to take plenty of breaks in the shade where we could often sit and listen. We even had beverage breaks. My favorite was buying frozen, homemade ice in plastic cups from a serious senora selling from her window. BTW, Nahomi's English is perfect. I was never, ever uncomfortable. I instantly and continue to be in love with San Juan and Puerto Rico.
