Overview

Walk with me through my Old San Juan on the only tour you will find offered only in Spanish. For English you must send us a message before booking to check availability. Usually English starts at 9:30am. The 12:30pm tour is in Spanish. Make sure you bought the right one. Old San Juan is the oldest city on the island of Puerto Rico. You will learn about its history, legends, secrets and more. It is also the second oldest city in the Americas. It has been more than 500 years since its founding. The city was built and protected by walls and defended by pirates and privateers who sought to occupy it.
We started our walking tour from Plaza Colon. We will walk through the cobblestone streets and colorful buildings. We will learn about the churches, monuments, castles, architecture, culture etc...our mission is to fall in love with our island and have a beautiful time.
