Why Private Tours of Old San Juan
Our approach is very simple. We find the easiest way to make you happy (& we usually succeed).
We offer personalized VIP private tours of Puerto Rico.
That means you:
We are a small local tour operator who focuses on providing our friends (customers) the best experiences in their lives. How do we do that?
1) We keep it simple. No complicated operations. Few overhead expenses. No payrolls (just one employee... Javier).
2) No rush... We don't try to squeeze too many bookings on one day. Normally we only do one tour per day. We don't work every day either. Is important to be rested and in a good mood, so we can be fully present with you.
3) We love what we do. It is not a hassle for us to spend the day with you. Is actually the opposite... we really enjoy meeting new people from all over the world.
4) Sometimes we guide you, sometimes we accompany you.
5) Always with a smile.

About Javier
Javier Ruiz is a "young", passionate Puerto Rican, who loves to host people and show them around. As a resident of Old San Juan, he is familiar with the culture, food, history, architecture, archeology and many unknown secrets.
As a World Champion Unicyclist, Javier has traveled all over the world, so he know what travelers can expect from him. He has a lot of stories to tell.
For almost 8 years He worked for the Puerto Rican government (Department of Natural Resources). He gave up his job as a civil engineer to do what he likes to do… share his passion about his country
He gained a lot of experience on the government and has a lot of stories to share.
Javier is also a graduate of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. One of the principles of energy healing is learning how to "listen" what are the client's real needs (from a deep perspective), and figuring out the best way to support them. Those skills are very handy while guiding private tours… we can really please our clients.
His family owned a reputable business, so he is very aware of the importance of customer satisfaction. He is happy to give the extra mile for his clients. Take a look at his client's reviews.
He is a certified tour guide by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company.
