San Juan Highlights

I really enjoyed the tour. One highlight was learning the story of the first Puerto Rican. Another standout was learning about the cimarrones and the extents they went to free themselves!

Eating authentic octopus fried in casava flour with and drinking coconut water from a coconut in Pinones

Seeing the countryside, small towns, beautiful ocean vistas and stopping at a local outdoor cantina for lunch.

The first hour and a half it seemed like we were just kind of driving around. The driver did tell us things about the island, but he spent a lot of time on the phone and even pulled over once to be on the phone, delaying our trip. He was also late to pick us up. We didn't make stops in areas to take pictures of things we saw, we just drove through everywhere. Then when we got to Old San Juan we all got out and were on our own for almost two hours without much idea of what to do or where to go. The tour was pretty pricey for just driving around a bit and then being on our own. No water bottles provided and the 1st area we stopped in was kind of dumpy. With all of the area we were driving I would have thought we would have stopped somewhere nicer. My family in the back of the van could barely hear what he was saying during the drive. Unfortunately, we felt it was very pricey for what we got.

Raoul is a knowledgeable tour guide. Took us to some out of the way places that only locals see. Very interesting stories about the history of Puerto Rico.

We loved it. Knowledgeable, friendly, and so kind to my disabled mom. Made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for giving us a great experience!

Our tour guide was Ramon whom we were informed was the tour company’s owner. Our tour of San Juan was uninformative and mundane. The information given us by Ramon was not pertinent to the tour. We were awarded a lesson in politics, nothing of real notThe Ford window van was an older model, the paint was faded, the plastic sliding door threshold was unsecured and loose. The vans interior was industrial and not very comfortable. Ramon, our guide driving was very jerky. The starts and stops less than desirable and and quite disquieting. We were driven to what I believe was a construction site. This stop did not give our group much information. The site was littered with broken beer bottles, paper and aluminum cans were everywhere. The information provided did not tell us the importance or name of this place, other than it was a limestone rock bead. We afforded a slightly different view of the “limestone” but different by about 5 miles. We were driven through a residential area interspersed with som light commercial buildings and again not much information given us. We were driven by a few forts, not much information provided. Or tour guide then drove us to old San Juan dropped off to amuse ourselves with the local sights, informed us we would be picked up in 2 hours sat a location different from our drop off point. We were provide no map, we received from our guide no directions to our rendezvous point. I might add our tour operator knew everyone in the group was over 65. It should that a major police Union protest was becoming quite loud and getting larger and unruly every minute. After finally rendezvousing with our Gide we’re finally dropped off further from our cruise ship than expected. Our group of travelers have traveled extensively and folks this excursion to San Juan has been elevated to our list as the worst we have ever been on. If I were looking for something to do in San Juan I would recommend you do anything other than this excursion, I would rather play with Fire Ants

The tour consisted of 5 stops and he did not do the five stops. The tour guide wasn't very informative. We did not stop in Candado Beach, Isa Verde and Pinones. We really wanted to see the Afro Cirribean culture. Don't recommend this tour. It was a waste of our money.

We didn’t get the full tour all the stops it said it stopped at it didn’t we literally went to two places. We didn’t get to go to the beach

Guide was half hour late tour for pick up … tour guide disappeared after arriving at final destination Terrible experience overall
