This was an excellent overview of Puerto Rico. As travelers with mobility challenges, this was PERFECT. The Driver was an excellent tour guide who provided cultural context to the sights and towns. Felix was our driver and he was awesome.

We had one of the most memorable tours! Our tour guide was a 10 out of 10 and really customize the trip based on our wants and needs.
Amazing experience. We saw places in San Juan off the beaten path - totally discovering beauty we did not know existed! Frankie, our driver, was very knowledgeable and his love of country was always on display. He took us to many sites and always asked if we wanted to stay longer for photos. He made our time in San Juan most enjoyable. I will definitely recommend this tour company and especially Frankie to friends I know who will be stopping in San Juan. Frankie is the BEST!!!!!
Tour driver was the best! Very informative and made the trip a lot of fun. The van was comfortable and very clean. Highly recommended!
It was an awesome tour. Our driver and guide Frankie was very knowledgeable, considerate and helpful.
Our guide Felix gave us a great tour of all the important areas of San Juan. We didn’t stop to take the usual tourist selfies as we were more interested in hearing the history and cultural details. We made choices about or limited time there based on his conversations. He didn’t steer us wrong! Definitely enjoyed the food/ restaurants he pointed out to us and picked our activities based on the many options we discussed during our driving tour. We highly recommend this tour and our guide Felix! “Si, Si, Si!”
Felix was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. He was on time and very gracious to our needs at all times. Highly recommended for those looking for their own private tour of the area!
This tour was phenomenal! Our tour guide is very engaging and welcoming. Had very good aura and energy knows his culture and his home land ! Very dedicated and very helpful.
We had a great tour with Frankie. He was knowledgeable and helpful with lots of great stories and recommendations.
The tour was wonderful. Our driver was Frankie, and he was awesome. He told us from the start that if there was something in particular we wanted to see to let him know. He stopped for sno cones when we asked him to cause it was so hot. He took pictures of our family. And when we asked him if he could drop us off closer to our car when the tour was over, he gladly obliged. He was very friendly and personable. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Booked tour at 9:30 am while the ship was at the dock. Tour was scheduled to commence at 12:30, so instead of starting to walk around and sight see, we killed time on the ship until 12 and then headed to the meeting point. At 12:05 I got a call saying since we booked last minute, they couldn’t do the tour that day but could the next day. Why accept a reservation for a tour you can’t accommodate? Other tour providers didn’t. And why wait til 25 min before it starts to let us know. We wasted almost 3 hrs of sightseeing potential. Lastly, you can get a local private tour guide off the ship for $175. Don’t waste your time or money with this tour company.
Felix our driver made the experience of Old San Juan incredible and memorable. A class act with an impactful personality. Felix genuinely cared about our trip, our background and goals for the day. Amazing man and you all should be beyond proud to have him on your tour team. Thank you.
Not 2 hours—more like 80 minutes. No flexibility at the end with time left to go grab a sandwich for lunch!
This was a great experience from booking to finish! Felix was our driver, and my family is already talking about traveling back to San Juan just to do another tour with him. He was jovial, funny and knew so much about San Juan and Puerto Rico. He picked us up from our cruise port, toured us around San Juan and then dropped us off at the airport. Felix was truly fantastic! He even found a local food stand/restaurant where we were able to buy some amazing and fresh local foods. Such a great experience!
Well worth the money. Our guide was great!! Very knowledgeable and personable. Stopped anywhere we wanted to take pictures or look around. Stopped at a roadside cafe. Amazing food. Not somewhere I would have stopped on my own. I recommend this tour
Rushed and he arrived 20 min late...... Would not recommend.....for the amount of money would of expected better and no water offered..
Felix was fantastic! Showed us places we wouldn't have seen on our own. He was very funny and informative. Glad we took the tour
Travel by car through old San Juan and some of the surrounding suburbs. Although the tour is short it allowed us to see more of Puerto Rico than we would have been able to see by walking.
Excellent driver Good history lesson Fun stop for a snack I am not new to San Juan and still saw some new sights.
Jaime was excellent driver, stopping where we wanted, telling us all about San Juan. We were 4, two adults and two kids 10/12yo. We highly recommend!
Excellent tour, our driver was very knowledgeable and the city of SanJuan is beautiful. Recommend this tour to everyone
Felix was personable, knowledgeable and adept as he drove us thru the various areas of San Juan - filling us in regarding the “personalities” of each area.
Very informative and entertaining. Gave a great overview of San Juan and surrounding areas. Felix was a great guide. He made the tour very enjoyable.
Frankie was amazing!! He arrived on time at our designated meeting spot. He provided interesting information about the different sections of San Juan. We stopped a few times to get out and walk around. He called us ‘family’ when he wanted to tell us something. He was very professional even when we were stuck behind a garbage truck!! I would recommend this tour by Frankie!!
Jaime provided an exceptional experience for my husband and I. We appreciated his knowledge and professionalism.
Great overview of key parts of San Juan tailored to us. Great conversation about PR as well! Highly recommend!
First time to Puerto Rico San Juan, this is a great overview! Our guide is Francisco, he is very knowledgable!
The driver was on time and communicated in detail where to find him. He was very knowledgeable about San Juan and gave us a good overview of the city. He also stopped several places so we could take pictures. Since one of our group walks with a cane he dropped off right at the ship.
We booked the tour. On the day of the tour there was a mixup with the timing between us and the operator so we had to cancel the tour. The lady from the tour operator was very helpful. So we got a full refund of the tour. Great Service.
James was a very knowledgeable and pleasant driver. We had some time between disembarking our cruise and flight home it was very relaxing and fun
Francisco was a great guide, very knowledgeable and eager to show off beautiful San Juan and other areas. Our family enjoyed the trip.
Seeing several parts of the area and getting a feel for the history, life style, viewing historic sites, politics and sampling local food.
Our driver Felix was extremely knowledgable and very friendly. He took special care of us with some beverages and snacks. We had a wonderful time.
Felix was the best. He took us around the island and showed us things and places we never would have found on our own. The best part was we got to taste true Porto Rico food and it was amazing.
We had a great time with Felix on our post-cruise tour of San Juan. He was very knowledgeable about his island and super hospitable! We learned a lot and enjoyed getting to try local drinks and food from his favorite "off the beaten path" places. We saw places that most tourists don't get to visit (ocean views behind the airport) and learned about places we should visit on a return trip to the island. This was the perfect way to end our cruise, before heading to the airport for our flight home. Highly recommend!
Frankie was our driver in Puerto Rico on a private tour. This tour was fantastic! The van was nice and cool and Frankie seemed to know everything about everything! So many facts and stories. He even stopped at a little restaurant so we could try his favorite foods! I would not hesitate to take another tour like this with Viator!
Great trip and excellent sites visited. Went to isolated less traveled areas and had some local foods. I will definitely go on this tour again.
Our original tour cancelled late night or early morning hours - as they say things happen. I was grateful to find this tour for the same day. We toured Isla Verde, Loíza, Santurce (Art District) Old San Juan, Piñones and Condado. The tour was great and James, our guide was very knowledgeable. He also had plenty of recommendations when asked about food/restaurants, where to go. I wanted to try local cuisine and fruits- had both.(fresh chicken kabobs, cod dish(fried) and soursop drink).
Loved this tour. It gave us a great opportunity to see San Juan and learn a little history of the island. Francisco was an excellent guide.
The best part of our tour was the tour guide himself. Felix made our tour more enjoyable and fun by being just so upbeat! I was with my daughters and all I heard was all praise for Felix. He was so patient and kind to take all our photos. He was very attentive of our time to get back to the cruise ship. He made us try the best mojito in town. Awesome tour!
What a wonderful tour - the bus was spacious and roomy and was easily accessible. The tour lasted just under 3 hours, and covered a lot of historically significant areas in San Juan. Our tour guide Hector was knowledgeable, and gave us not only a historical perspective of what we saw, but a locals perspective as well. He was very interesting to listen to, and gave great facts and interesting stories. If you want a very interesting and interactive tour. this is a must!!
We had limited time and chose a short private tour as an introduction to the city. Our driver was fantastic - great sense of humor and full of nuggets of information about San Juan. Highly recommend.
Francisco was fantastic! Learned so much about the island! Highly recommend. Loved being away from the crowds with a private tour. Worth the money!
Wonderful trip. Our tour quise was excellent and so knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone. Great way to see SanJuan
Francisco picked us up on time and did a beautiful job sharing his island with us. He was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of history along with some fun facts such as how El Yunque rainforest got its name. Francisco was very personable and fun to chat with. We were able to see some coastline and learn about several towns, pause at the Castillo de San Fillipe de Morro for pictured, ride through some of the narrow streets of Old San Juan, and also see some of the newer modern side of San Juan around the Convention Center area. This was a great way to see a bit of San Juan and a bit more in a short amount of time. Thank you again Francisco!
Frankie was AWESOME! We would definitely book again! Frankie was very knowledgeable, we learned a lot about the culture.
We differently got your best driver. Felix was absolutely amazing. We got more than we expected. Highly recommend this tour
We took this tour just a couple of hours after arriving in San Juan, so it was interesting to get an overview of the area (in air-conditioned comfort). We ended up being very glad that we were staying in old San Juan and not in the land of high rise hotels on the beach.
Was a terrific way to use the extra time before our flight home. Our driver, Freddie, took us to both old and new San Juan. He was very attentive and informative. We especially enjoyed the drive along the local beach on Sunday. It was filled with local flavor. Made us want to return and stay longer.
We love our guide, he was very knowledgeable and friendly. The car that picked us up was in a very good condition as per showing in the photo. We had a great time. Highly recommended.
