Old San Juan Walking Tour

Service Description

If you would like to join a group to tour the old city, this is where you can book! There is a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 15 people so that even when full, our group remains cozy! You will be learning about our history while gazing at the masterpieces that are still standing. Let me take you through the place that has magic like no other. You will see the ocean, the colors, the balconies and the faces, as you hear the music through windows while we walk. This is a place that has over 500 years of history and somehow, has managed to stay this beautiful, popular and busy. What our 2-hour itinerary looks like: Our starting point will be Plaza Darsenas, where we will go over our route, introductions, etc. Our second stop will be an old Citadel turned Museum. Making our way through Paseo la Princesa we will have a few stops to talk about botany, our first Lady Mayor and the sound we miss the most when we leave Puerto Rico. After a while, we will reach La Puerta de San Juan so you can begin exploring the city within the wall and experience how it must have been coming into the city centuries ago. We will head up the street with one of my favorite views in the whole world… to get to the Cathedral (up a hill!). In La Catedral, we will spend some time so we can talk about a few things about or culture, our heritage and our history! When outside, we have an opportunity to visit El Convento, use the restrooms if we need to and see some details about its architecture. Then, we’ll make quick stops at La Capilla del Cristo and Calle Fortaleza or how it was newly renamed, Calle Resistencia. After this, we’ll make our way to Plaza de Armas where you can see the City Hall, Department of State and the first-ever department store on the island! Sit for a bit with one of my favorite composers if you’d like. If you have any questions about availability, please email me.
