A Walking, Talking & Driving tour in & around Old San Juan - Lismar, from “Seeing Puerto Rico Tours & Transportation” treated us to 4 engrossing hours showing us & describing the history, culture & contemporary life of Old San Juan and its environments. Highlights were the unique blue cobblestones, huge bas relief across from the government building showing the beginnings with the indigenous people, to the Spaniards to today’s life, and the street art outside city center. The forts, food & walking through the district’s colorful architecture, some with cascading Orchids or Bougainvillea was also quite memorable. Highly recommended & worthwhile.

Awesome Walking Tour! - Lismar was exceptional! She knew everything about everything! The tour took us on a perfect walk around important landmarks of Old San Juan. Be prepared to walk up the inclines throughout the tour. Lismar was super nice and very energetic. She was a joy from the very beginning.

Great experience! - Very good way to begin your stay in Puerto Rico. Our guide was kind and interesting. His love and pride for his country was heart-warming. I had a wonderful time and learned a lot. Gave me ideas of what I may want to go back to do in Old San Juan later.

Hit all the high points! - The best way to see A new city... by foot and with someone who KNOWS it inside and out. Our guide Lismar was not only super knowledgeable, but energetic AND entertaining-even after hours of walking in the heat! My mother was having knee trouble that day, and Lismar went above and beyond to cater to her and ask if she was OK. There is something to be said about genuinely kind, compassionate people. This tour was just the right amount of walking and history and gorgeous views (she points out all the best insta photo spots and is more than happy to play photographer). Would highly recommend, ten out of ten!
