History and Culture in Old San Juan - David was so knowledgeable and prepared. We had an older group of people and he stopped often in the shade for all to rest while he explained historical and cultural facts about old San Juan. We covered a lot of ground and saw many sites. David answered all questions with a smile and had water for us. Our favorite part was when we went to the El Morro Fort and just looked out over the bay while he entertained us with stories.A great tour. Don’t miss it.

Well done walking tour - David is an entertaining and effective guide. He provided a thorough and engaging background about San Juan in general as well as particular sites, with a healthy dose of humor. His use of a microphone ensured that all of the members of the group were able to hear him. Highly recommend for an overview of Old San Juan.

Good Stuff - The tour was very well done. The pace was great. The information was plentiful. David - our guide - was able to keep the group together through some crowded winding streets.
He was very generous with the water - which I have never seen before on a tour. This was one of the best tours on this trip.
