A convenient and straightforward way to learn about and explore Old San Juan is with a local, knowledgeable guide who will lead you on an easy 2-hour history stroll through the oldest section of the city. Following the tour, you will understand the history behind the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, its unique ties to the US, as well as its rich Spanish, Taino Indian, and West African heritage.
Perfect for all ages, the tour will explore landmarks such as La Casa Estrecha and La Catedral de San Juan Bautista – Old San Juan’s venerated cathedral, which is Puerto Rico’s grandest religious building. Additionally, you will discover parts of the city’s impressive defensive system, including its walls, only remaining entrance door, and Fortaleza, the fort known as the “mistake” the Spanish made! Our tours also visit La Rogativa, La Capilla de Cristo, and many other "must-see" sites.

Claudia was super informative and funny. She should be a comedian and deserves a big raise. We loved the tour and her stories.

My wife and I signed up for this tour knowing almost nothing about Puerto Rico and San Juan. This 2 hour tour was a great way to help change that. Pablo was engaging and told us about the history and culture in a way that was both interesting and educational. He did a great job helping navigate the streets that were very crowded because we happened to tour on the gubernatorial Inauguration Day. Highly recommended !
