A great alternative to the standard Old San Juan tour - A genuinely insightful tour from a local with an outsider's perspective.
Very easy to communicate with when our logistics got complicated.

I totally recommend this activity. It is a very fun experience. - From the beginning Kate (the guide) was very kind and friendly with the entire group, and she also speaks English and Spanish. 😃
At the beginning of the tour he gave us bottles of water (I still recommend bringing your own), a small map with the route we would take and asked us about things that interested us (art, music, dance, food...) to make the tour more personalized towards our tastes. At each place she stopped to explain to us and answer if we had any questions, always being very friendly and fun.
You must be prepared to walk and take into account the hot weather, so be prepared with sunscreen, water, and comfortable walking shoes.

recommendable - Kate is an excellent tour guide. I appreciated that before starting the van he gave us water and asked us about our interests so he could personalize the tour. Being an adult, he was patient with us and walked at our pace, he did not rush us, which is very kind of him. Thank you Kate for the unforgettable experience.

Excellent experience - Kate is amazing, a very astute and intelligent young woman. I really liked the one who spoke in Spanish because I was able to have a nice and pleasant conversation. My dream was to visit San Juan Puerto Rico and Kate made my dream come true on the hike. The city is very beautiful with a magnificent history and Kate knows how to please those who visit this beautiful island of charm. Thank you very much Kate.

Great experience. It made us respect and admire their beautiful culture. - Kate is a great tour guide. Before the tour began, she asked what was our preference and what were we interested in learning. She was very patient and knowledgeable. We learned so much about the changes the island has gone through and gave us a view of the local life. It was so great to learn about this great culture. We very much appreciated that she gave the entire trip in Spanish, love bilingual tour guides. She's just awesome 👌

Very nice - I enjoyed the tour, the person leading it is very good at what she does and took us to some pretty awesome places like a market where I had a really good mango, recommend taking some water and sun screen cause it's pretty long walk around San Juan but it was nice

A great time visiting places in San Juan! - My husband and I had this tour with Kate, and we had so much fun; we learned about local life. I loved it; I learned a lot about Puerto Rico, Kate can speak English and Spanish, and she was very kind, honest, and dynamic. I highly recommend this tour, you can also do the Old San Juan tour but don't miss this one, you won't regret it!

Good Introduction! - Kate was a good guide. She introduced me to the Santurce neighborhood and helped me see some places that I went back to later. As our walk progressed she tailored her comments to things I was interested in. I enjoyed meeting her and hearing about her experiences in San Juan.

Terrible Communication - Bad communication, we showed up to a canceled tour with any communication. We confirmed the trip a day before and was told we were good to go then all of a sudden there was no tour. I wouldn’t book.
