A great time visiting places in San Juan! - My husband and I had this tour with Kate, and we had so much fun; we learned about local life. I loved it; I learned a lot about Puerto Rico, Kate can speak English and Spanish, and she was very kind, honest, and dynamic. I highly recommend this tour, you can also do the Old San Juan tour but don't miss this one, you won't regret it!

Amazing tour of San Juan - I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone. First of all, Kate is a very dynamic, interesting and kind woman and secondly, you get to learn more about the hidden gems of San Juan. We saw a little bit of everything and she recommended a lot of places that are actually worth going to, such as restaurants, brunch places and activities to do in the city. I really enjoyed my time with her and the tour is really worth it! Thank you again Kate!

San Juan from a Different Vantage Point - On Katelyn's tour of San Juan, you'll see things that go beyond the standard San Juan tourist experience. As someone who is considering moving to Santurce, I found the tour highly informative. Katelyn is a knowledgeable and engaging guide who, as an American who has lived much of her life in Latin America, has a unique perspective to share on San Juan and Puerto Rico in general.

The warmth and the knowledge of a true local ❤️ - I LOVED discovering the city with Kate !!! I was traveling solo with very little beforehand knowledge about San Juan and she made sure to show us all the hidden gems that the city has to offer. From historic monuments to hottest party spots to the best places for food and their special deals, she did covered it all. Beyond the tips, Kate has a special way of making you right at home with a warm smile and plenty of good vibes from start to finish. She is just AWESOME!

Good Introduction! - Kate was a good guide. She introduced me to the Santurce neighborhood and helped me see some places that I went back to later. As our walk progressed she tailored her comments to things I was interested in. I enjoyed meeting her and hearing about her experiences in San Juan.
