Great to learn about history, flora and fauna, as well as connections to pop culture (i.e. movie locations, etc.)! Our HS / college kids would have loved it if they were with us.

I’m so glad I took this... - I’m so glad I took this tour—it was definitely one of the highlights of my trip! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared a wealth of historical facts and trivia about the city. I learned so much about Old San Juan’s history, architecture, and people. The tour lasted nearly two hours, but because it was so engaging, the time flew by. I’d say no visit to San Juan is complete without a guided tour of Old San Juan.
