If I could give more than 5 stars, I would (100 stars)! Carlos our guide was SO knowledgeable. We learned so much from him. He was also very accommodating. In our group we had 23, 29, 31, 35, 39, 63, 67, and 86 year old people. EVERYONE enjoyed this tour. The 86 year old uses a walker and Carlos was so accommodating and helpful to her. Everyone in the group said this was the best tour experience they have ever experienced. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

It was our honor & pleassure of having your family, and can also say you are among the very best customers we ever had. Its always great when there is a special connection and the feel is we are hosting not customers but close and long time friends.
We truly apreciate the kind words and accept them as a validation for all the time we dedicate to keep our scripts updated, relevant and with every new discovery we make in our ongoing weekly research sesions though The Archives of the Indies, National Archives and relevant documents from the times.
Thanks and hopefully I will see you in the future!

Highly recommend this tour. We were first time visitors traveling with our college age daughter and her boyfriend and wanted to learn about the history of Puerto Rico our Guide is a certified historian and could answer all our questions.

Carlos was an excellent tour guide! He was very knowledgeable about the history of San Juan. We learned so much from him. We highly recommend Carlos to anyone who is looking to learn more about San Juan in a fun and comprehensive manner, without it taking up most of your day. It was also helpful that we were able to enjoy looking at the historic sites while riding in a comfortable air-conditioned SUV.

The trip to the waterfall included exquisite views and lush rain forest with stunning vegetation. The waterfall was breathtaking and a relatively short hike from the road. Our family enjoyed getting into the pool at its feet and under it. We recommend considering wearing a bathing suit or equivalent in order to maximize your visit. Then we came back and explored Old San Juan just enough to capture its flavor and peak our interest in a return visit for an even deeper experience.
