Spectacular!

Published on Feb, 2025

We absolutely loved Carlos and all of his knowledge! Even went to lunch with him at the end of the tour so we could talk more. Highly recommend it!

You must experience this tour.

Published on Jan, 2025

Christmas afternoon 2024 was a great day for a tour of San Juan with the adult family. Carlos met us at the cruise dock (let him know in advance) and took us on a multi-stop tour of the capital building, Castillo San Felipe del Morro (interior closed for the holiday), and old San Juan. Some walking and a few steps but Carlos will accommodate your pace. So much to see and lots to learn. Worthwhile and worth the cost. Carlos deserves the highest recommendation. Plan to learn about old, new and future Puerto Rico and be sure to ask questions about everything.

Fantastic historic tour with Carlos.

Published on Dec, 2024

Great tour with Carlos. He was very communicative before our tour date/time and arrived early for our pick up. During the tour, he took extra care to accommodate an older member of our group. And his knowledge of San Juan is extensive. Much more informative and interesting than we had expected. Highly recommended.

Very highly recommended experience!

Published on Nov, 2024

Great tour guide and great tour; perfect length of time for the tour (about 2 hours) and it was a comfortable walking amount. Driving portion was very comfortable as well. Would use same company in the future! Highly recommend!
