Five Stars!!!

Nathan was absolutely amazing! He was knowledgeable, attentive, engaging, and full of joy throughout the experience. Simply an exceptional tour guide who made the entire experience memorable and enjoyable. Our driver was equally respectful, responsible, and professional. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Five stars all around! Highly recommend!

Okay tour of Old San Juan

Tour was okay. The guide talked about how he also did the rainforest tour and loved it more and was subbing for someone. Also some of the facts he gave with incorrect dates (which happens) but felt less than prepared. You could have probably looked up a suggested walking path and facts on the internet yourself. In all fairness it was a very hot day and he seemed ready to get to a protest that was supposed to start in the afternoon, so it might have contributed to the tour approach. All in all, saw a nice bit of Old San Juan, but might not be worth it with the hotel pick up price.

Could have been so much better

Guide appeared to be sick, coughing. Didn’t see much and learned very little about San Juan. Definitely needed a microphone as only those walking directly behind her, heard. Lost six of her group when she went into a coffee shop. Probably the most disappointing tour I’ve been on. Spent most of the trip in a building where other than the coffee shop, everything was closed, made me question. My decision to book another tour with Viator
