5.00Very knowledgeable tour guide, who gave us the historical outline of San Juan and showed us some of the cultural highlights. He spoke clearly, answered questions happily, and went above and beyond to show us the city, which, by the way, we love!

5.00This tour was a great introduction to San Juan & especially its history. Narayan is an excellent guide—knowledgeable, personable, patient. We were able to exit the van several times for up-close views of some of the sights. Highly recommended!

Disappointing tour

- Review from Tripadvisor
3.00We had very small group in our van but we did not do any of the walks mentioned in the overview. We didn't go to Catedral de San Juan Bautista which is the reason I picked this tour. The only stop was at another church and a small restaurant in Condado owned by the guide's friend. All landmarks were basically a drive-by. Door to city & narrow house were seen from a distance so hard to take pictures of them or anything. Didn't get guide's name who was rather boring with history and political comments.
Tour of Old Town and area in San Juan

5.00There was a small breakdown in communication while waiting for our pickup to arrive. The chat area on the app was not working properly on my phone because of the eSIM I was using. I tried several times to contact our tour guide, but I could not tell if it was communicating with him. Our tour guide gave us a very good tour. The over view and history of Old San Juan was very informative. The stops were well placed and interesting. The tour was enjoyable.

5.00You get to know the history of San Juan with easy pick up and drop off, and you wouldn’t know at most of this if you did not take the tour! The extra stop for some food tasting in a new area of new San Juan was also nice.
