Great but tiring. Very long walk

Very informative. You learn a lot about Puerto Rico but the two hour walk is a bit extreme. I think 1 hour- 1 hour and 15 mins would be better.

We toured Old San Juan and enjoyed discovering more about the history of the island all through the indigenous people to the current people of Puerto Rico. Walking and seeing the sights and putting meaning and context to what we saw was eye-opening. Our tour guide, David, was knowledgeable and engaging. Would highly recommend this tour and is a great way to experience Old San Juan.
