Worth the price - Personally think this is a great way to get to know old San Juan. Super easy to follow, nice walk around the neighborhood, covers the bases and gives you a brief overview of what you’re looking at. Worth the price. Download beforehand and you’ll have no issues with connecting.

Amazing self-paced walking tour - The audio tour was amazing and the fact that it was set to gps was awesome. We could stop and talk or look longer and not be held to some arbitrary timeline from a tour group. We were in our own, free to speed up and slow down, or skip as we liked was great. The voiceover was very good and packed with so much information. We loved it. And the price was less than 1/4 of the traditional tours. Just be sure to pre-download everything in case you have service issues.

Want to go at your own Pace? Try this. - I like that the app starts up immediately and stays on while you're on course. We didn't have any issues with the app either.

Great Overall Experience - It took me a couple minutes to get the hang of how the tour worked (but it was my first time with this type tour, and I'm a little slow), but after that it was wonderful. I especially liked being able to stop at any time, for as long as I wanted, and pick up right where is left it. I found I could also skip around the tour, which was also helpful. My operator's voice was very pleasant to listen to, and the information was very good. I would definitely use this app again.

Spectacular tour suitable for ADA - The audio tour was presented very well. So easy to follow. Even if we detoured a block or two, we were able to pick right up where we left off without having to search for the highlights on the map. The numbered points with stories were enriching and entertaining. We especially loved that we could go at our own pace because I am in a wheelchair. We look forward to more audio presentations from this author. Oh. . . The views? Nothing short of spectacular! Keep your camera out. . . Many photo ops along the way!

Great information and guide that was flexible for our plans. Some minor glitches, but we would use this format again. - We were concerned that we wouldn't have the time or energy for a guided walking tour, so we were happy to find this one. It worked perfectly for our schedule--we ended up doing the tour on three separate days. It was a little glitchy for some of us--if I took a picture in between stops, often the app would stop showing the map or return to the beginning of the tour, so I would have to close the app and open it again. Also, it didn't remember what steps we had completed. Not a deal breaker, but a bit annoying. The tour gave us just the right amount of information and helped put everything we saw in context. We would definitely use it again, though it would be nice for the glitches to be fixed.

San Juan, Jan 2024, walking tour - It was easy to get good information about San Juan in this self-guided tour. Easy to find the different stops. Worked well without internet. I can recommend this tour because you can do it in your own pace and it gave a lot of information for a nice price.
