Such an amazing tour!!!

Published on Sep, 2024

This tour was the best part of our vacation! Yamile is a wonderful tour guide. She is so knowledgeable and truly has a passion for the history and culture of Puerto Rico. We had a group of 6 adults and 1 toddler. She made us all feel like her family. Spending the morning in Old San Juan, having lunch in Loíza, visiting the home of the talented artist, Samuel Lind, to Bomba dancing on the beach with the amazing dance instructor, Shelia. Words can't express how amazing and special this tour was. I would recommend Yamile and this tour for anyone visiting Puerto Rico.

Fantastic Day in Old San Juan and Loíza

Published on Feb, 2024

We were a group of 10 adults that thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Yamile was a terrific guide. Would highly recommend any tour with her.

Immerse Yourself with the Flavors and Culture of PR!

Published on Aug, 2023

This is a tour you cannot miss! My family is originally from Puerto Rico and we decided to stay in San Juan to celebrate my father's birthday. With Yamile, you are getting the real deal! You are fully immersed in the amazing food, culture, art and traditions of Puerto Rico. By the end of the tour you will have a deeper understanding and appreciation of the flavors, sights, sounds and the true local culture. Yamile is the BEST and more importantly, she loves what she does. If you don't book this tour, then you are truly missing out on one of the best experiences Puerto Rico has to offer.

Book with Yamile!

Published on Nov, 2022

This excursion was amazing! Yamile was an excellent guide! She was so knowledgeable and friendly. The Loiza portion of the trip really exceeded our expectations! Our group wanted to book an additional excursion with Yamile but the weather would not permit. Book with Yamile, you will not be disappointed! Check out her website for all her options! Puertoricoasalocal.com!!!!

Awesome Tour!

Published on Aug, 2022

Yamile was awesome! We enjoyed her expertise in the local sights, current events & history. The day went so smoothly and all we had to do was sit back and enjoy the tour. Yamile adapted to the pace and physical abilities of our group (ages 10 - 80). The tour gives a nice taste of San Juan/Old San Juan. We really enjoyed the opportunity to meet Samuel Lind and see his art. It was amazing to watch (and try) Bomba dance with local artists. Yamile took many pictures of our group which was a great bonus. Highly recommend this tour and Yamile!
