March tour - Dr Jose was extremely knowledgeable about the Island’s history and was very flexible in accommodating an older crowd that had some physical limitations. Would highly recommended this tour.

You won't want to miss this tour! - What a wonderful walking tour of Old San Juan! We thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Morales' tour which included history and interesting facts, and beautiful sites. We were lucky that there weren't any cruise ships in port so we ended up with a private tour. We highly recommend booking this tour!

Great Historical Tour and TOUR GUIDE! - Dr. Morales was fantastic! He has such a deep knowledge of the history and culture of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. We enjoyed the tour immensely and the included local icy treats - they cooled us down on a blazing hot day. Dr. Morales seems to know everyone in town and his connections enabled us to enter through an area close to the governor's mansion and inside a historical hospital run by nuns and still in use by the order of the Service of Mary. I can not recommend the tour enough for history buffs!

Informative and fun - This was a very informative, fun, walking tour. Doctor Morales’ enthusiasm for the history of Puerto Rico is infectious. He brought us places that most people don’t have access to, one with a stunning view of the harbor. He was very patient, answering all of our questions. And we could tell that he enjoys sharing his knowledge with others. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you want to gain a deeper understanding of Puerto Rico and its people.
