1.00Tour guide was a no show. We waited for an hour but decided to head off after that. I thought at least an email would've been good.

5.00My tour guide was Fabiola and she was amazing! She explained the history of San Juan & Puerto Rico so well. She cared to ask us questions, give us tips, and recommendations of food, from breakfast to desert. I could tell she had a passion for her history and loved to share the stories and historical moments of Puerto Rico’s people. I would definitely recommend her to my family and friends! I will be back and hoping to get her as my guide again!
Richness of proud history of the country loved the tour and the scenery was exceptional. Well worth the trip and the tim

5.00Fabiola was was an amazing guide! She taught us so much history about Old San Juan on our walking tour. You can tell she loves her job. I would definitely recommend taking this tour, we went to Old San Juan last year but just walked around on our own and did not see 1/4 of what she was able to show us.

5.00Fabiola is amazing. Her passion for her culture shines through with her touring. She was very informative and even carries a binder with photos to help her with visual aids. Fabiola was very accommodating to 2 of our older people in taking time with the walk. 10/10 with Fabiola.
