Unique Must-Do Walking Tour - Jose was an incredible tour guide. My 10 year old son wanted to learn about the Tainos so I selected a tour led by a historian. Jose was not only very knowledgeable about the Tainos but as a former head of a school, was expert at engaging my son as well as the adults in a way that kept my son interested the whole time. As a historian, Jose provided a broad context to the history and current affairs of Puerto Rico in ways that others have not. He took us to places off of the beaten path as well as on it. The tour was at a great pace of not too fast nor too slow and having a small group of only 7 of us was the perfect size. I cannot recommend this tour enough. It also ended at the Museo de las Americas which I highly recommend.

Best tour in San Juan - This was an amazing tour. The professor leading it is so knowledgeable, warm and enthusiastic, and we loved that it was such a small group-only 2 couples.
