Fantastic tour guide and tour! - This tour given by Oasis was fantastic. She is a true professional! She explained things very well and answered all of our questions. She took her time to be sure we seen all we wanted to and she was so very friendly and enthusiastic. She allowed us time to rest and did her best to keep us in the shade when possible. She provided us with water when the tour started and made sure we had a bathroom break and a chance to get more water if we wanted. I highly recommend her for an Old San Juan Walking Tour!!

An authentic and unforgettable experience in Old San Juan - I enjoyed the tour from start to finish. Oasis is an excellent guide: very friendly, close and with great knowledge. You can see his love and pride for his country and the tour was very well organized and structured. He answered all my questions very patiently and we also had a very interesting talk about Puerto Rico, its history, its cuisine, its music and its identity, which made the experience even more special. It was not only an informative tour, but also an opportunity to reflect and connect more deeply with the place. You can tell he's passionate about what he does and that makes a difference. I definitely recommend it and when I return to Puerto Rico, I would love to take another tour with Oasis.

Amazing Tour! - Our tour guide was so kind and knowledgeable about PR! Her pride of the island was infectious. She answered all of our questions and gave very thorough and interesting information about each of our stops. The tour was seamless and gave us a great overview of all the important landmarks throughout Old San Juan. The tours are intimate (in our case we were the only ones in our group!) which made it feel more personal and tailored to our pace. The photos are also such a great plus! I would highly recommend this tour to learn more about PR and it's cultural history from a local!

Great walking tour - Oasis was very sweet and bubbly and led us at a nice pace through the city’s main sights. Our family was alone so it felt like a private tour. She offers several time slots during the day, which is convenient. Definitely recommend.
