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.
Stacie_P, Jan 2026
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.
Luis_B, Jan 2026
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.

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!

Ponce is a great town with so much history! Nory was our guide. Her passion for Puerto Rico history and her own family history showed in her knowlege. She was a pleasure and accomodated what we wanted to see and learn about. We stayed mainly around the center square, the heart of the city. After the tour, Nory was sweet to text us places to eat and other things to do in the area.

Shannon_M, Feb 2024
Nory was an amazing tour guide. Her love of her city, her island, and multicultural heritage was so apparent. She took time to explain the history in details, point out natural beauty and birds, found shady places for us to pause, and even did a mini bit of salsa with us in the cultural center! We came right at the beginning of the festival period, so there were some featured art exhibits she also took us to. And after gave us some great food and other recommendations. Highly recommend!
Brian_P, Feb 2024
I really liked to understand the history of Ponce and its importance to Puerto Rico. I loved the Architecture and the people. Wished I could have been able to get some of the local art home.
