this was my partners second time on the tour and they treated it like the first because it was just that fun I feel like I saw the whole island from 9 am to 2:30 I would highly recommend and Stephanie is the best tour guide anyone can ask for so knowledgable and down to earth this tour is very unique in its authenticity and it was a great way to start our vacation!

Fantastic tour! Stephanie was very knowledgeable about the history, art and culture of San Juan. She answered every question and made our trip unforgettable.

Even if you have been to Puerto Rico before this is a great tour for the history of San Juan, exploring two places ,Loiza and Santurce, that you would probably never go on your own. Stephanie, our guide is knowledgeable and definitely has a great love for " the enchanted island" She also gave us terrific recommendations fir restaurants! Highly recommend!!!

Great experience. Three different areas was the perfect amount of travel for one day. Our guide, Stephanie, was pleasant and knowledgeable.
Craig_J, Apr 2026
Stephanie was a pleasure to be with. She’s knowledgeable and fun to be around. A great tour to see parts of the San Juan area that most tourist would never see. Highly recommend!

I feel like the tour was overpriced to basically drive by things and grab lunch. There was not much that we saw in Loíza. We did catch lunch at a location that happened to have a beach behind it so that was the highlight of the tour but people were torn between getting food and going to the beach. I honestly don’t recommend this tour. It fell a little flat for me. That food wasn’t amazing. The tour did include water and accupurria for each person. And the tour guide did accommodate by taking us to a bakery at our request.

This was one of the best tours that I had , we stoped to take pictures, ate food at authentic local spots and our tour lady name Stephanie was awesome and she was very knowledgeable and it was very educational at the same time. I would definitely recommend this to my own family when they come to Puerto Rico.

It was lovely to see things and not have to worry about fighting traffic or parking. You get a few moments at each spot to take photos. You will stop for lunch while in Loisa. It's a great tour for either your first or second day in town as it will give you a good lay of the land and great suggestions.
Amie_C, Mar 2026
This is one of the best tours I have taken anywhere— done by locals and a great representation of the history and culture of the island.
Ashley_R, Mar 2026
Such a great tour! I really enjoyed getting to see and experience the beautiful rich culture of Puerto Rico and learn the history of this amazing island and its people. It gave me such a better appreciation, truly being immersed in the seen and unseen parts of the island.
Our tour guide, Stephanie, was a joy. She represents her country well and made the experience enjoyable for all on the tour.
Debra_H, Mar 2026
Enjoyed this tour focusing on art and culture. We were return visitors to Puerto Rico and especially enjoyed traveling out of old San Juan into neighbourhoods we wouldn’t have seen ourselves. Stefanie was a friendly, considerate, informative guide! We learned a lot!

This was a wonderful experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable. The tour gave a great tour of San Juan.
Kira_L, Feb 2026
A great way to see a lot of San Juan in a short span of time and decide where you want to go back for more. Also great to get out of touristy Old SJ and see more diverse and local neighborhoods.
Adele_R, Feb 2026
This was the second time I did this tour with Stephanie, this time with my mother. Stephanie is very personable snd that's you like family. She is very knowledgeable about local history and art. I would go again!
margaret_A, Feb 2026
One of our party had mobility issues. The tour guide was very accommodating for us. It was a rainy midweek day so some of the places we visited were not as active. But we saw many parts of San Juan. She was very knowledgeable of San Juan.. definitely recommend this tour.
San Juan.

This was a really great tour of the arts in PR, and great stop for lunch. We enjoyed it and learned a lot!
Kiersten_F, Feb 2026
Stephanie was an excellent tour guide; very knowledgeable, entertaining, and patient. I wanted to do a tour that went beyond Old San Juan and this delivered! I feel like I came away with a more well-rounded view of Puerto Rico, its people, and its history.
Justin_L, Feb 2026
Wonderful stop for lunch and the art district of Puerto Rico . Discussion of the ethnic hoof Puerto Rico was very informative.
Jessyca_J, Jan 2026
This excursion was exactly what my mom, who is in her 60s, and I were looking for. The walking is minimal (you’re mostly in a van) and not too difficult. Our driver/guide Stephanie was really nice and even made accommodations to help another member of the group with a disability. We got to see a lot but it didn’t feel overwhelming or too much. We had a small group of only 7 people, so our tour felt almost private. There were no hiccups or issues with anything; bus was on time for pickup and the tour followed the itinerary. 10/10!
Erica_W, Jan 2026
Stephanie was Great! She was very knowledgeable and very good. We stop at many sites and had ample time to explore and learn about the island.
Cynthia_P, Jan 2026
Best of all our port excursions! What a wonderful authentic way to experience the most of San Juan on a limited day visit. Stephanie shared her vast knowledge of Puerto Rican history, customs, culture and details of every place we went. Friendly, personable, and engaging tour guide. Very comfortable transportation. Highly recommend this tour!

A wonderful tour with Stephanie. Our small group of 7 had a great time learning about the history and culture of Puerto Rico. Stephanie was knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed it very much.
Scott_P, Nov 2025
Amazing experience! The tour took us through Old San Juan and other tourist locations but the best was leaving the city and visiting the local towns, like Loisa. Our tour guide Stephanie was excellent and knew everything there is to know about Puerto Rico. I’d recommend anyone visiting to go on this tour to get a full taste of true Puerto Rican culture!
Gisandra_D, Nov 2025
Our guide, Stephanie, was very knowledgeable and friendly. She encouraged us to ask questions and even shared a bit about herself and her life on the island giving the tour a personal touch. The art we saw was beautiful and the alcapurrias we had were so tasty!
Michael_H, Nov 2025
Alicia was very informative and made the tour interesting. This is a authentic experience of popular places. She is a hidden gem of Puerto Rico that provided a unique backstory for things we thought we knew.
Light walking was involved, lunch (at our expense) was very yummy, and visiting the cavran/cave is a must. Be careful, it was a little slippery because of loose dirt.
Shaneka_B, Nov 2025
Stephanie was an awesome tour guide. She thoroughly explained the history of Puerto Rico. She even bought us (me and my daughter) a Puerto Rican dish( I cannot remember the name). Even though it rained for most of the tour I most certainly would book with her again.
Sheila_A, Oct 2025
Stephanie, our guide, really showed her passion for her country and culture! She was truly an ambassador who provided an in depth knowledge of PR-past and present.

Danny is one of the best tour guides we’ve ever met. He’s deeply knowledgeable, genuinely kind, and remarkably dependable. We took the San Juan / Loíza / Santurce bus tour - an easy 10/10 experience - and loved it so much that we immediately booked a second one: the Old San Juan Walking Tour.
Thank you, Danny, for sharing the beauty and culture of your island with us. Puerto Rico left us with full hearts and a strong desire to return.
P.S. While we stopped for lunch at a beach in Loíza, Danny spent his time picking up trash along the shore instead of taking a break. That thoughtful act really stood out to us.
Thank you, Danny - from your friends Nissa and Will from Belize 🇧🇿
Elden_H, Oct 2025
Stephanie was an excellent tour guide and driver. She was knowledgeable and considerate. The van was comfortable and the A/C worked well. Her tour covered a variety of the San Juan area including Old San Juan, Loiza, Santurce, and more.
Misti_W, Oct 2025
We had an absolutely amazing time with Stephanie! She was extremely knowledgeable about the area, the art, and the culture and showed us local favorites and stories we wouldn’t be able to find on our own. Stephanie allowed us plenty of time to stop and take pictures and experience the local culture and food. Usually local tours are one and done but I’d definitely book this one again!
