About Old San Juan

Old San Juan is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It has been part of the National Register of Historic Places since 1966; and it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in 1983.

There is a lot to see and enjoy... having a private tour will help you understand the history and the importance of this beautiful place.

A note to our customers (About Hurricane Maria):
Am glad you are coming to Puerto Rico. There is a lot to see here. Most of the tourist attractions are operating. Some of the local rural communities are still recovering.

For the next few months am going to be working in the reconstruction of Puerto Rico. Will not be leading tours. Not sure when I'll be back, but is probably going to be in mid 2019. Will keep you posted. There are other great guides. I can help you find them if you email me.

Please sponsor our small local hotels, stores and restaurants. The struggled after the hurricane.

We love when people visit us. Please, come, enjoy and bring your friends. Post your great memories on social media.

Have a great vacation,

Javier

Why a Private Tour?

The private tour guide can bring to life the Old San Juan experience because they are able to communicate (& connect) directly with each customer. The guide can be flexible and keep track of the special needs, interests and whims of each party. We can walk at the preferred pace, understand the importance of picture taking and be flexible on the amount of time spent on each landmark.

On large groups, a lot of time and energy is lost on logistics, making it hard to adapt to special events, participant's stamina, change on weather patters, etc.

Not a college lecture...

Personal tours are not like college lectures. They are more like spending quality time with a knowledgeable local person.

On smaller groups it is easier to ask questions, and to have a more intimate contact with the guide. It is also possible to customize the tour according to the client's wants and needs. They are more fun, and better learning experiences.

What about pricing?

Private tours has a competitive fixed fee for the whole group (1 to 6 participants)... we don't charge by the individual. We don't respond to complicated logistics and bureaucracy that increase those total costs. Therefore, it is often more economical to book a private tour.

They also tend to be more people's persons, motivated more by the passion about what they do.

Support local businesses

Personal tour guides are local people interested in sharing what they know about their beautiful countries, not foreign corporations. We want you to feel like home.
