Enjoyable Day! - Kevin was amazing with explaining the history of the island and making the very hot day enjoyable. Just know that you will be walking for a good 2 hours before being able to roam around.

It was great - The experience was really fun! Out of all the activities I did I put this one at #1 simply because of how informational and engaging it was. We saw a good portion of Old San Juan and was giving plenty of photo opportunities, Giovanny was also friendly. Would definitely do the tour again If i ever come back. Also great for solo travelers to feel safe amongst other people

SHORT TOUR, not really 4/5 hour tour. - The tour guide was very nice. However, the actual tour was only one hour and a half. The rest was pretty much free time.
