Small Group tour - Danny and his wife took us on a very interesting and informative tour of San Juan and its environs. First was the historic Old Town, then to an ethnic suburb where we tried a delicious crab snack. The last part of the tour was viewing artistic murals painted on walls which are the basis for an annual festival. They were amazing! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting San Juan!

Amazing introduction to San Juan culture and are of Puerto Rico - Daniel, our driver/guide did an amazing job of giving us a great overview of three very distinctive segments of Puerto Rican culture in San Juan. He catered to each person on the tour and gave us a great tour of old San Juan, the unique African culture and history of Loiza with a great lunch and the amazing street art in Santerce to finish off a 5 hour tour full of enthusiasm, insight and genuine hospitality. We got more than great vale for this tour and a new appreciation for San Juan and Puerto Rican culture

Wow Expedience - As it turned out, we were only two people on a tour that generally has between 10 and 14 people. So it was like a private tour. Stephanie, our guy, was extremely knowledgeable about everything that we saw. We learned a lot about the history of Puerto Rico, saw some awesome artwork on the side of buildings and tasted some local snacks.

Stephanie was very polite, prompt, professional and very knowledgeable. - Many things but if pressed I’ll say the art work in Santurce. I come to PR often but stay only in Condado so it was educational to see more of the “ real PR” This tour was very informative. I have recommended it to family and friends already.

Late minute cancellation left us scrambling to find us something to do in long wait for flight. will not recommend. - The tour company cancelled in the aftenoon of day before we left for PR. not enough time to find an alternative. We were left with few opportunities for other experiences because many were sold out.
