Good overview of Old San Juan - Juan Carlos was a great tour guide. Positive energy and very knowledgeable. I typically asked a lot of questions on tours and he was very patient with my questions. My only suggestion for improvement is to limit the tour size. For the narrow streets of San Juan we had somewhere between 25 and 30 people in our group and that was way too many. I would say a group of 10 to 15 would be ideal.

A good walking tour of the city, but don’t expect to learn any meaningful history - JC has great energy and enthusiasm, he is very organized and extremely helpful with directions and instructions. Unfortunately, his tour does not do justice to the rich 500 year history of San Juan. He has no story or structure when he gives you random facts and information. I think he would be amazing if he had a coherent history of the city with a timeline. He has potential and with some work and feedback, he will be superstar guide. I suggest he base the script to his tour on a guidebook.
