Great tour! - It lasted a couple hours and was a great way to learn more about PR and see things we wouldn’t have seen if we were on our own. Tour guide was really good! We intended to tip our guide but he headed a different direction at the end with a group of people on our tour that needed to get a ride elshewhere.

Highly Recommend! - David was very knowledgeable, was early to the meetup point and communicated quickly via text. He kept the tour simple, explained the locations well and answered any questions asked of him. An excellent guide! As far as the tour, sneakers would be recommended due to the cobblestone streets and the many hills in Puerto Rico.
