Get ready to go back in time on this walking tour of Old San Juan. Sometimes I will bring a van and we drive a bit. The City of Old San Juan was founded in the year 1521, making it the Oldest City in Puerto Rico and the second oldest city in The Americas. We will be walking and stopping at all the main sites, like castles, forts, cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, monuments, and plazas learning about their history. This tour does not go inside the forts. Every picture you take in Old San Juan is beautiful and unique, so make sure you’re ready. We will also learn everything there is to know about the city and the island. You will be with a certified tour guide, so you can ensure you're getting the correct information everywhere you stop. My main goal is for you to fall in love with the island and keep coming back. I'm excited to meet you - book your tour and I will see you soon!

5.00My family loved this walking tour of Old San Juan. Danny, our guide was awesome. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Pace of the walk was really good considering the heat. Nice break for restrooms, art, and a cool treat. The tour was a great way to learn about Old San Juan and really helped us to get our bearings in a place we had never been. Tour ended at 11:30 - right on time for lunch in old San Juan.

5.00Breathtakingly beautiful views packed with tons of historical education and landmarks from a very knowledgeable tour guide. What I particularly enjoyed was from the beginning, the meet up spot was not ambiguous to find. The tour guide, Carlos, gave a detailed description of what he was wearing and even checked with everyone individually about their whereabouts. He was incredibly kind, he took our pictures for us. 10/10 recommended for a solo traveler.
A must for first visit to San Juan

5.00Carlos was amazing. Highly recommend. Very informative but he made it fun and not boring. Great pace. Some stops in the shade and time allotted for a cold treat. Recommend doing the tour first thing in the morning to avoid the heat. Carlos recommended some good places to shop and eat after the tour. Had a great lunch afterward.
Highly recommended
