Our guide was Kalab. He was extremely knowledgeable about his island of Puerto Rico's history. Asked exactly what we wanted him to focus on. This is a small group tour which was great!! The tour around Old San Juan was fabulous. Hit all of the highlights of the forts, streets, eateries, cathedral, parks and buildings giving us a history lesson and stories behind where we were walkimg. After the tour we went to the San Juan National Historic park run by the US National Park Service that Kalab recommended. After the tour Kalab sent us information about food, beaches etc for a return.visit.

Great 1.5 hour small-group tour with Kaleb was perfect intro to Old San Juan. He tailored the tour to our tastes, and was so full of good cheer and knowledge. Good communication about meeting place and time, and highly professional. Good tour whether this is your first time, or if you've been to San Juan many times.
