About this experience
Get ready to go back in time on this walking tour of Old San Juan. Sometimes I will bring a van and we drive a bit. The City of Old San Juan was founded in the year 1521, making it the Oldest City in Puerto Rico and the second oldest city in The Americas. We will be walking and stopping at all the main sites, like castles, forts, cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, monuments, and plazas learning about their history. This tour does not go inside the forts. Every picture you take in Old San Juan is beautiful and unique, so make sure you’re ready. We will also learn everything there is to know about the city and the island. You will be with a certified tour guide, so you can ensure you're getting the correct information everywhere you stop. My main goal is for you to fall in love with the island and keep coming back. I'm excited to meet you - book your tour and I will see you soon!
