The tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and energetic. Puerto Rico is very hot and humid during the summer and wish the tour could have started earlier to beat the heat. My only disappointment was not receiving dinner recommendations (via email) after leaving a 30%+ tip.
Our tour guide was AMAZING & Knowledgable . Our guide kept us informed .It was great learning about the city of Ponce
Great walking tour! Learned a lot about the history and architecture. The guide even pointed out a great place for ice cream!
We had fun on this informative tour. It was nice to explore the downtown area of Ponce and learn some of its history.
Great learning experience with Dani our tour guide. She was great explaining all the traditions and the importance of the area and its figures to the growth of the town. If you take this tour ask for Dani if possible she is fun and accommodating and will to research a question if she didn’t have answer for you. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn the history of the Ponce.
Dani is a great tour guide and can have a few laughs with. Many kudos to her and her company for a great time.
The walking tour was excellent and our tour guide Frances was absolutely a gem. She had just the right amount of information, enthusiasm and charm to make the two hours go so well. She was informative, answered many questions and kept us wanting more. The tour left me wanting to come back and spend more time in Ponce next visit. I was there for a few hours and now realize based on tour that I need a few days. Great opportunity!
Very educational and interesting! The guide knew her history, fun facts, and interacted with my 8 yr old to get his continued interest in what she was teaching. Truly it was a very nice day and I would highly recommend this tour guide ☺️
This was an awesome tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm and energy. She was very happy and proud to share her city and culture and we really enjoyed her tour. Highly recommend!
Wonderful experience walking with Nori who sang and regaled us with stories of ghosts, historical figures and Puerto Rican pride. She was so enthusiastic that the two hour walk flew by.
The tour was excellent.
Nory did a great job of explaining the history plus the culture of Ponce. She also gave great recommendations on
Local restaurants.
We would highly recommend.
Not a a difficult walk, mainly staying in the square. Our guide (Dani) was very knowledgeable on the history and architecture and told of the great history of Ponce to two first-time visitors.
Nory was a wonderful guide in her hometown! She has a lot of passion for Ponce, her culture, food, music and people, which is quite infectious. She even sang to us a few times during the tour to talk about how events or cultural elements appear in the music.
Nory was very awesome. She very knowledgeable with what she talking about. I would recommend friends to sign up for the tour guide Walk.
This tour was interesting and provided historical background on Ponce.
There were 17 people in our group, which in my opinion, was too many. As we walked through the streets of Ponce the group got stretched out and those at the end could not hear the guide speaking. I think the tour should be limited to 10-12 people, and if that means you must charge a little more to make the numbers work, it will provide more value to the group.
It was a great experience. Especially on Christmas Day, when everything was closed. Our guide gave us in depth history of Ponce via the history buildings around the square.
Loved our tour guide, they were knowledgeable of the local history and shared with us real history!!!!! ¡WEPA mi Gente!🇵🇷💃🏽🕺🏽
Our walking tour of Ponce was wonderful - enjoyed it very much . Our tour guide Dani was excellent . She really knew her history of Ponce. We learned so much and really enjoyed it ! I would highly recommend her- it felt like walking around with a friend.
Norymar was so nice and informative! She literally made it the highlight of my Puerto Rico trip and I could not thank her enough!
We were a little late as parking was difficult to find. However, Lauri, our guide was really helpful and patient. She was also very knowledgeable. This was a good tour. If you want to learn about Puerto Rico and Ponce, this is a great educational opportunity.
We had such an amazing tour! It was super informative and full of interesting cultural details that really brought the place to life. Nory (Norymar) is a wonderful guide—so charismatic and full of positive energy. We had a great time and she gave us tons of awesome recommendations for local restaurants, events, and activities. Highly recommend!
Nory gave us a wonderful tour of beautiful and historic downtown Ponce. Nory so knowledgeable about all things Ponce and Puerto Rico. We really enjoyed learning all the local traditions like the Amor Passé, Alley of Love, and the musical heritage , which Nory can sing! A great morning in Ponce!
Nori was an excellent guide for the Ponce historical tour. She was filled with knowledge and enthusiasm for her native city.

Our guide Nory was excellent on explaining all the historical background, as well as telling us the background information, extremely knowledgeable about the city of Ponce. We enjoyed very much, and I definitely recommend her tour when you visit this city.
Nory was a fantastic guide! She was full of information about Ponce, the people and the history. She is passionate about her hometown and you could feel her enthusiasm. The tour is only a small section of Ponce (only a few square blocks), but in the two hours we saw a lot and learned a lot. Would absolutely recommend this tour!
Lory was a great tour guide. She was very entertaining and spent time answering our questions along the way.
