About this experience
Get ready to be a local. If you enjoy Island vibes, visiting local spots or just like taking pictures in random places, then this tour is for you.
Learn about our history. We usually start with a city tour of Old San Juan, where you'll see castles and forts built by Spain in the 1500s to fight pirates or enemies that wanted to invade. We stop by all the main sites.
Next we'll cruise down the beautiful coastlines and stop at some beaches, all beautiful in their own way. We will not stop at any of the beaches long enough to go swimming.
Next, feel our energy. Art is very important on this island. This is why we take you through a town covered with art, where local artists showcase their talent with beautiful murals.
Lastly, taste the traditional fritters in Loiza like Alcapurrias, Bacalaitos, Empanadillas, and more. You may even taste our local beer like medalla, magna, or ocean lab. Loiza is a town with a bit more of African Culture. I'm excited to meet you - see you soon!

Itinerary and highlights
We will be taking a City Tour of Old San Juan, passing by the Capital Building, castles, forts, city walls, cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, monuments, the Governors Palace, Fortaleza street, and more.
Loiza is a very authentic part of the island. The food, music and culture is what Loiza is known for. This town is on the coast. Some beaches here are hidden so it is better to go with a local guide like myself to show you around. Loiza is where us Puerto Ricans go on the weekends just to chill and relax. Here you will find more of our African Culture.
Santurce is a very unique neighborhood in the City of San Juan, covered with street art like graffiti and murals. Here we will be walking 3-4 blocks. You will get the story behind some of the paintings. This place has great nightlife on the weekends.
