Great walking tour.

Published on Aug, 2021

Fantastic waking tour of Old San Juan. Our guide Christian was super knowledgeable, but most importantly easy to get along with and really relaxed. We ended up having lunch together at the end of the tour. This is a great option if you want to go a little deeper into the history of PR in general, and especially if you want to have candid discussions about the current state of affairs in PR, and broader discussions that are not available on a cookie cutter tour. My kids were pretty engaged the whole time, which speaks volumes. Definitely recommend a private tour.
