Best Way to Experience Viejo San Juan - We booked a history tour of Old San Juan with Fabiola the day before and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip. She met us right on time, came prepared with waters, and quickly adjusted to our group’s needs. Even in the very, very hot weather, she kept the energy high and set a great cadence so we could enjoy the walk without feeling rushed. My wife and I are history buffs, and she impressed us with her deep knowledge of Viejo San Juan while answering all of our questions and sparking great conversation. A big bonus was that she speaks both English and Spanish, which made it easy for our mixed group to follow along. She also knew where to find shade and rest, which was a lifesaver, and guided us through corners of the city we never would have discovered on our own. After the tour, she sent over a fantastic list of recommendations for things to do across Puerto Rico and even suggested a restaurant we tried that same afternoon—it was amazing. Couldn’t be happier with the way we learned about this beautiful island. If you want more than just a walk through Old San Juan and prefer to truly understand the history, culture, and stories behind the streets, this is the tour to book. Highly recommended! Muchas Gracias Fabiola!!
