Viejo San Juan

Published on Oct, 2024

We started taking walking tours of cities about a year ago. I had lived in Puerto Rico 30 years ago, but wanted to see old San Juan with fresh eyes. Our guide, Francisco, was born and raised in Puerto Rico and has been guiding tourist for nine years. He was funny and engaging. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Old San Juan as well as all of Puerto Rico. He was willing to answer questions about recent experiences and current events in Puerto Rico. The tour itself is amazing. San Juan has been in existence for nearly 500 years with one of the best preserved fortresses that is well-maintained by the US national park services. The old city itself is a testament to the efforts to preserve history and is rich with history.

Great tour

our tour guides name was Francisco.. he was amazing! He has a great personality and was able to laugh and joke and inform us of everything around. We do want to thank him for putting up with us and taking so many pictures along the way!

Just do it! Incredible!

Wow! If you’re on the fence, just do it! My brother and I took our mom on the tour and had a great time. Our tour guide Francisco was friendly, super engaging, hilarious and knowledgeable. We laughed the whole time as we explored beautiful Old San Juan - and he bought the entire group cold waters which was so sweet. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, maybe a hat for the sun, and bring a water bottle. Totally family friendly.

A great walking tour

Our tour guide Frankie, was terrific. His obvious love of San Juan along with his historical knowledge was impressive. It was a humid day and he stopped and bought us water and offered us popsicles. We learned so much and enjoyed our tour immensely. Thank you, Frankie!
