What To Expect
Catedral Basilica Menor de San Juan Bautista
The graceful Catedral de San Juan Bautista, or Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, is a can't-miss historic landmark in the heart of the old city. Highlights When visiting the cathedral, we won't want to miss the following highlights: -The tomb of Ponce de León -The mummy of St. Pio -The stained glass windows
The Capitol of Puerto Rico
El Capitolio de Puerto Rico was to become the House of Representatives and the location for senators’ offices. The building faces the Atlantic Ocean and has a somewhat intimidating design.

5.00The tour was very complete and the driver was very knowledgable. We enjoyed seeing all the sites and hearing the history. At the end of the tour, we had the option of going back to our starting point or being dropped off in the old town. We said we wanted to stay so he drove us back to his favorite restaurant for authentic Puerto Rican food. It was a good choice.

5.00Lismar was an excellent driver & guide. She has been doing this for years and knows her stuff. This tour was a driving tour mostly with about 5 stops. She picks you up in a nice van, easy to get in & out and comfortable. She dropped us off after the tour closer to our b n b. This tour was for those who don’t want to walk(or can’t anymore)the hilly streets of San Juan with the heat but want to see the areas of importance. She even showed us the area she lives. She explained all questions asked. We were a group of 6 which was perfect. I wouldn’t hesitate to call her again when in town. Her company is “Seeing Puerto Rico”. Tell her hi from us!!
