Juan was absolutely amazing! His knowledge of PR and rich history really made our experience a 10/10! If we could give Juan more than 5 stars we would! He took pictures for us so we could keep our phones away and truly learn all things San Juan! Highly recommend!!

Juan was excellent, very clear with meeting place, provided historical information while keeping you engaged! Would definitely recommend this tour and Juan!
My tour of Old San Juan was an amazing experience. It was on my birthday with my boyfriend. Our guide, Juan, was extremely knowledgeable about the area and kept us entertained and informed throughout the trip. The tour was scheduled for an hour, but because we had extra time to spare, he took us even further around San Juan for an almost two hour tour. I can tell that he truly enjoys what he does. He was very friendly and took great photos. I would tell friends and family to book with him specifically!
1 hour tour was great. Learned a lot about the history of the island and hit the highlights. Juan was a great guide, knowledgeable and great sense of humor. Would recommend.
We really enjoyed our tour with Juan. He was friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. The information he shared about Old San Juan, Puerto Rico as well as his own life experience was all quite interesting and valuable.
It was very informative and we learned some interesting facts. Our guide was really knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
This was a private walking tour of Old San Juan with Juan Rodriguez with just my family (me, husband, kids age 16 and 12). He brought an iPad to show pictures and share the history of the city and connected it with the sites. While he is not overly animated, he is a good storyteller, and it was just at the right level for all of us. Because it was a private tour, it lasted a little over an hour. He took lots of pictures of our family at the various sites which we are excited to see!
This tour was amazing. An interactive and super informative tour of old San Juan. Juan is an AMAZING guide. Took our photos and shared stories and laughs along the way!
We had a great tour with Juan who was very friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend setting aside extra time to go inside El Morro (which we did) as this tour just walked by to see from afar. Our two kids (13 & 9) were with us and the quick one hr tour was the perfect amount of time to keep them interested and see some major points of note through the city. The Church of St John the Baptist was closed unfortunately when we passed by (we did a 5 pm tour on a Tuesday) so while the breeze and weather was perfect and cooler just be mindful of visiting hours for some of the spots. Juan also took great photos for us at each spot and emailed them to me the next day and recommended some bars and restaurants for us. We would definitely recommend this tour for a morning or afternoon in old San Juan !
Very nice knowledgeable Guide. Learned a lot about San Juan. I would. Highly recommend his service to anyone
I had a lovely tour with Juan. Even though the city was experiencing a blackout, and even though I was the lone participant, Juan was present to give me a great tour. I loved the efficiency of the hour and the thorough overview I received. Juan also took photos that he shared with me by email after the tour. Great value. Highly recommended!
We walked all of old San Juan and got detailed history over the area. I was amazing to see everything and Juan was an excellent guide with lots of knowledge and love of the area.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic 1-hour tour through Old San Juan on March 6, 2026 with Juan. He was incredibly informative, engaging, and very personable throughout the entire experience. Juan shared so much interesting history and local insight that really brought Old San Juan to life for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn more about the area while having a great time!
Wonderful experience; lots of history, pictures and beauty! Juan was experienced; patient and very knowledgable! Great day!

The tour guide, Juan, is very informative and prepared. He goes above and beyond even taking photos of you in front of to sights then emails them to you after the tour!
We did this tour today with Juan and had a wonderful experience! In just one hour, we learned so much about the history, culture, and hidden details of Old San Juan that we never would have known on our own. Juan was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and easy to listen to. What really made it special for us as a family was that he took photos of us at all the key spots along the way — such a thoughtful touch and something we truly appreciated. Now we have great memories and great pictures to remember the experience. The pace was perfect, the stories were fascinating, and it was a great introduction to Old San Juan. Highly recommend this tour and especially Juan as a guide!
Juan was an excellent guide during our tour of old San Juan. He shared history of sites in an engaging way while also being kind and patient with our six-yearold who was usually more interested in the pigeons than the sites! Thank you for the fun and interesting tour, Juan!
Excellent, knowledgeable tour guide. Covered quite a bit of area and able to give us quite a bit of history and background information and answer any questions we had.
Juan gave us a very informative and interesting tour. We learned so much about Puerto Rico and also the sights that we saw. He was able to include so much in just over an hour! He took our photos and sent them to us and they were great. His recommendations for gelato and lunch were spot on. We have two teenagers and they were also engaged the whole time. I highly recommend this tour!
Juan was an excellent guide and took extra time to answer questions and take beautiful photos. I highly recommend this tour if you prefer a small group experience which is exactly what we were looking for.
Juan was an amazing tour guide. We learned so much about Old San Juan that we never would have known if we just strolled the area by ourselves!
My family and I really enjoyed our walking tour. Juan was very knowledgeable and personable and photographed our entire tour. Highly recommend!
Me, my husband and kiddo only had 24 hours in San Juan and decided to take this tour. Only I forgot to book it! Juan was helpful from the very beginning getting us booked and even provided parking recommendations. San Juan is gorgeous! Juan led us through the twists and turns of the narrow streets that opened up to stunning vistas. His stories helped us understand the history of what we were looking at and grow our appreciation for this beautiful city. Juan was patient and kind with our 7 year old and even tried to engage him with quizzes. He even took a few family photos of us which was very much appreciated. I highly recommend this tour! It is epecially nice if you have a short amount of time to see San Juan. A+ to Juan and DUHO!
Great tour, really helped put together the story of San Juan and Puerto Rico. Our guide was organized, knowledgeable, and made it fun.
Juan was fantastic! Great tour. Walking around the old city with a guide really brings everything to life. Highly recommend!
The walking is challenging. The guide was fabulous and very knowledgeable. We really loved the private tour and he was very patient.
Juan was very informative and patient with our small group. We got to learn about the history of the beautiful island, about the great architecture and much more.
It was very informative and personal. I would definitely recommend this tour. My Mom couldn’t walk very fast. He was very patient and accommodating. Juan was a great tour guide.
This is a must do thing. I got to see old San Juan in a different light. The shots were coming and the host was so sweet to pics for us to remember.
Juan is very knowledgeable about the island and it's history. He was also very accommodating when one of our party was unable to find parking that day and invited her back the next day for a separate tour. 10/10!
Tour guide was fantastic and informative! The architecture was breathtaking! Saw some amazing views!
We had a great time! Our guide was very knowledgeable about Old San Juan. He guided us around the city and taught us a lot and was very friendly.
Juan was kind, knowledgeable, and easy-going. There were no other tourists on the tour, which was really nice, and he answered all of my questions and provided insights that I normally wouldn't have gotten in a group setting. He also gives you thoughtful gifts/souvenirs along the way. It was such a great experience!
Juan was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and kind. It started raining and he was so patient and informative with the history of the city. It was great just my husband and I with our tour guide. Not a large group. Highly recommend this private tour.
Juan was very knowledgeable about the history and city of Old San Juan. He made the tour very fun and interactive and gave us recommendations for other activities during the rest of our stay. Definitely recommend this tour!!
We had an excellent trip with Juan. He was knowledgeable and took the time to explain to us the history of San Juan. He was friendly and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend this tour.
Juan makes the visit very enjoyable and well structured. He takes some very good photos of you at iconic sites that he sends you later, I think one hour is enough to then go to the castle on your own.
We had an excellent experience with Juan Rodriguez, very didactic and patient. Knowing a bit of the history of the country, the curiosities and the beauties of the historic center made our stay in Old San Juan even more pleasant. We recommend the walk. Thank you Juan!
