Overview

Ponce, "the pearl of the south" and the "city of quenepas," is the second most populated city in Puerto Rico. It is located on the southern coast and is named after Juan Ponce de Leon y Loayza, the great-grandson of Juan Ponce de Leon, who was one of the main Spanish influences on the island. Although Ponce is very reminiscent of Old San Juan with vibrant, European-style buildings, locals will proudly announce "ponce is ponce and the rest is just parking."

Itinerary

  • Plaza Las Delicias

    The walking tour begins in Plaza Las Delicias, named after its breezy winds and refreshing waterfall mists. The plaza and its surrounding areas hold a rich history of the city and the island. Parque de Bombas is located within the plaza, which was previously a festival center and firehouse. You will get a view of Castillo Serralles and Cruceta del Vigia from the Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe. We will show you locations of historical events that occurred in Ponce, such as the Ponce massacre and the execution of criminals at Casa Alcalde, previously a jail. We will take you to the original building where the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico held their meetings. Experience the past and present of Ponce in an informative walking tour.

Excellent tour, excellent guides

Published on Apr, 2025

This experience was one of the best we had in our trip. The guides are professional, knowledgeable, funny and on time. It was a pleasure traveling to Ponce with them and getting to know the history and culture of Puerto Rico's second largest city. Thank you for a great trip, it was the highlight of our stay in the island.

Ronaldo loves Ponce and environs, and we now do, too!

Published on Mar, 2025

Our guide and driver, Ronaldo, grew up near Ponce, and he still lives in the Ponce area. His love of Ponce -- and his feelings about the special character of Ponce -- is clear, and he conveyed this love to us. On the trip to Ponce, Ronaldo told us much about the geography and geology of the island, and he was very conscientious in telling us about the various towns and regions that we passed through on the journey. Ronaldo's personality -- and his personal relationship with Ponce and environs -- made this a special tour.

Excellent trip to Ponce

Published on Mar, 2025

Rolando is knowledgeable , helpful and friendly. Excellent visit to Ponce. The van is new with good AC. I think the tour should be 2 hours longer to be able to visit places and have more time to look around.. I highly recommend trips with Rolando. Next time I’m in Puerto Rico and need a guide he will be who I call.

Ponce Private Tour - We Take You

Published on Feb, 2025

Rolondo was fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable and did not rush us. A late model SUV provided a pleasant ride to and from Ponce. The tour of the downtown are including Fuentes de los Leones; the Catherdal; Fire Museum and Museo Castillo Serralles (Don Q) were outstanding. The food at the Nispero Asador was amazing. If going to Ponce this is the only way to go and We Take You is the way

unique historic town.
