In Depth History in Old San Juan - A great introduction to Puerto Rican history and culture. Jose was a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide who readily communicated his love for his homeland while leading us through many sites in charming and historic Old San Juan, including an animated nativity in one of the oldest hospitals in the Americas.

A highly worthwhile experience. - The guide was extremely knowledgeable. His talk was packed with information. And he could answer any question people had. I loved that he provided water and ices. It was also nice that he used his speaker to play enriching music. My only criticism is that his accent made it hard for me to understand some things he had to say. Fortunately, my husband understood everything and he was able to tell me what I missed later on.

Horrible. - It was horrible, didn't get to explore the Castle or the Fort, that we payed for, he took us to walk to see nothing that was on advertised in the itinerary. Then he left us in a different place from starting point, set an alarm scammed.I will not recommend this excursion to no one
