5.00This was the BEST TOUR EVER! I feel fortunate to have been assigned this particular tour guide. Narayan, the tour guide, was personable, knowledgeable and was very responsive to guest questions. To say he is passionate about Puerto Rican history and culture would be and understatement! He didn't just point out landmarks and make a few remarks. Instead, he took special effect to explain each landmark while skillfully intertwining events/history as they (over centuries) impacted Puerto Rico. I learned a great deal and REALLY ENJOYED THE ENTIRE TOUR!
Would do again!
