Walking old San Juan - Very informative tour; for me was a wonderful time; I don’t remember her name but it was so hot walking under the sun that she kept offering cool refreshing water. She was very sweet

Old San Juan Tour to El Morro - Tour guide was very knowledgeable. For elderly, beware of heat & humidity even in January. There are some steep walks along the route, but manageable.

Horrible communication and service - We had scheduled a tour of Old San Juan. Not ever having been to Puerto Rico the information of where to connect with the guide was horrible - it said to go to a plaza and look for the guide with a green sign. There were two plazas and no person with a green sign. I asked many people if they knew to no avail. I asked for a refund and was denied.
