Nuestra guía Christian fue lo mejor!!! We could have not asked for a better tour person. Christian spoke English and Spanish, he was very friendly but more than anything, knowledgeable. This is a must to learn PR history, old San Juan is gorgeous, especially when you see it through a local’s eyes. You can probably see some of the places on your own but won’t know the story behind it, that’s what makes this tour extra special! Do wear comfortable shoes because you will walk a lot; worth every step!! thank you Christian, we hope to come back next year!

Worth it!

Ian did a wonderful job showing us all of the beautiful highlights of Old San Juan. He was patient and accommodating and very informative. He also stopped and allowed us to take as much time as we need to take pictures! It was well worth the money.
