The most enjoyable tour we've been on! Yamile is a treasure! - Visiting San Juan with family and friends to celebrate SIL birthday and we wanted a comprehensive tour that hit all the high spots as well as orient us with ideas for the rest of the week and this tour checked all the boxes. From the moment Yamile picked us up we were treated like family. She went out of her way to make sure we had the most comprehensive enjoyable tour we've had in our 30 years of travel. So do yourself a favor and join Yamiles' family the next time you visit San Juan.

San Juan excursion - I had an amazing time in Old San Juan. I went on a nice ride on a scooter to get there. The murals were breathtaking and the scenery was unreal. The amount of beauty that this place holds has to be experienced in person. Photos do it no justice! The locals are inviting and informative, and they have lots of suggestions on where I should go while I was visiting. I’d definitely return for another visit and I most definitely recommend the entire experience.

Excellent with short walks and informative. - We appreciated the suggestion to try and found a restaurant serving Mofongo, a plantain based dish. We asked for it with local seafood. A Very tasty meal outside in a little square near the cruise ship terminal.
