Easy fun tour, you will learn a lot! - My uncle, aunt and I had a great time learning about historical and cultural background of Ponce. Melina is super knowledgeable and clearly passionate about her job and her city! She took us to several art galleries and introduced us to local artists. Highly recommend this 2 hr tour to check off “some grown up activity” off your vacation ideas list:)

Wonderful guide - Nory was an amazing tour guide. Her love of her city, her island, and multicultural heritage was so apparent. She took time to explain the history in details, point out natural beauty and birds, found shady places for us to pause, and even did a mini bit of salsa with us in the cultural center! We came right at the beginning of the festival period, so there were some featured art exhibits she also took us to. And after gave us some great food and other recommendations. Highly recommend!

Walking tour in Ponce. - Our guide grew up in Ponce and had good knowledge about the history and culture of the area. The problem with the tour was many of the buildings weren’t open to see. They’re still closed due to damage from the various hurricanes that have hit Ponce.
