Old San Juan Tour - Nice to be in a very small tour group. Melanie did wonders talking over all the noisy construction sites throughout the tour, kept us in the shade as much as possible, and provided breaks along the way. She was a great storyteller with nice tidbits of information on San Juan and Puerto Rico’s history. I would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family coming to the area for a visit.

San Juan is absolutely beautiful! Rich in history and culture! Maira is fabulous in sharing everything you need to know - My husband and I booked the castle city tour in San Juan while visiting during a cruise ship visit. Definitely a must if you want to explore and experience history of San Juan. Marie walked us through the city at an easy pace for our group. She shared and told stories of the buildings and architecture around the city. She didn’t rush from one point to another and she made sure everyone could hear and answered all of our questions. She was fun, friendly and really knew her stuff. Highly recommend!
