Great tour and our guide... - Great tour and our guide Stephanie was very knowledgeable. Local history surrounding Old San Juan, and informative as we moved to a beach of predominantly African influences in Puerto Rican life. Then finished with very cool Street Art and the stories behind the pieces!

Getting to see more of Puerto Rico! - This was a fun and educational tour with Stephanie. She was super knowledgeable about the historical and cultural aspects of PR. And of course, she encouraged us to ask questions. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing more of Puerto Rico.

Cultural tour with Stephanie! - We had our tour today with Stephanie and it was amazing and extremely informational. I feel like I learned so much about Puerto Rico's background and how the incorporation of Africans into the culture affected things. My favorite part had to be the walking the art district and stopping at the pastry shop.

Great tour - This tour was enlightening. The tour guide, Stephanie, was amazing and kind. We got stuck behind an accident on the way there. She does start on time but was able to help us enjoy the tour anyway. I'm grateful we were able to take part. I would recommend the following: - take this tour at the beginning of your trip (We took it at the end and wanted to keep exploring) - don't eat before you go. You will stop for lunch. - if you are not staying in San Juan, leave an hour and a half earlier than the start time. There is only one way on this part of the island (We left 40 minutes early and were 30 minutes late). Enjoy!
