Full description

Meet your guide at Plaza Colón in San Juan and set off into the sunset on this 2-hour walking tour. The plazas are the perfect location to learn about the colonial history of Puerto Rico from your guide. From Plaza Colón, you will walk and see the Plaza de la Barandilla and Plaza de Armas. In Old San Juan, visit one of its most spectacular historic buildings: Antiguo Palacio de la Intendencia, originally built to house the treasury of the island and now the Department of State of Puerto Rico.

Witness the 18th-century chapel at Capilla del Santo Cristo de la Salud and learn all about its urban legend. Visit also La Fortaleza-Palacio de Santa Catalina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tour also takes you past San Juan Cathedral, the Ballaja Barracks, Catedral Basilica Menor, Cuartel de Ballaja, and San Juan's most valuable historic site, Castillo San Felipe del Morro, before ending at Plaza de San José.

This tour was FAB. Jorge was an absolutely fantastic guide - incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about San Juan. I also really liked his style where he'd ask us questions to get us thinking too. I'd already wandered around old San Juan myself prior to the tour, but I'm SO glad I did this tour - I learnt so much about both San Juan, but also Puerto Rican culture that you just wouldn't know/notice/see if you just walk around yourself. Going at sunset also meant the temperature was more manageable! Would HIGHLY recommend this tour - Jorge you were awesome 😊

Jorge and Melane were excellent guides, they guided us in English and Spanish, which was very good because my mother does not speak English. I think tour companies sometimes forget to accommodate older people. Thank you for your attention and kindness. I recommend this trip.

Antonio, our tour guide, is exceptional! Extremely knowledgeable and informative in ways that captured and kept our attention. A veritable fountain on knowledge of Puerto Rican history. Hoping he is willing and able to produce a documentary about Puerto Rico for PBS or the History channel! I want to know more!!!
