The guide was naturally personable and very knowledgeable. He was careful to keep us comfortable and in the shade on a hot and humid day. Great talking with him!

Fantastic tour! Our group was small which gave us plenty of time to ask questions. Dr. Morales was an excellent teacher and has a clear love for the culture and history of San Juan. Lots of great details about the music and foods that make Puerto Rico such a special place. Would highly recommend!
Informative stroll.

We arrived 45 minutes early early there were no instructions to arrive 3 hours early on the site page. We couldn’t find parking in any spot it took us over an hour to find parking snd by that time they had already left . I have no clue where I’m at or where I could have met them. Who would want to book a tour and show up 3 hours early for a guided tour I would have not booked at all if I knew to get there 3 hours early
A serious personalized history of San Juan

Juan was a very engaging and knowledgeable guide. He pointed out several plants of interest in addition to more history than you can possibly remember. The group size is limited to allow for a more personal experience than other tours. This tour is best for those who are serious about the history of San Juan (and Puerto Rico in general).
Informative and Fun

The guide was very well educated on the history of Puerto Rico. It was so informative and we learned a lot. I thought his pace was perfect. He went slow enough to get to experience the site's. I never felt rushed. He also recommended a great place for lunch that is also getting 5 stars. Great experience! Highly recommend this tour
