Free walking tours in San Juan

Loved the costume! Thought we would hear more about Old San Juan but it was mostly about the forts.

Frank is very bright, knowledgeable about history and entertaining. We were happy to have met him and learned so much!

Uncle J is a gem! He is informative, passionate about history, and has a great sense of humor. If you are looking to do a walking tour, you should book with him. Don’t forget to give him a big tip

Great enthusiasm And knowledge of the history of San Juan. Challenges us with questions on what we learned. Kept the tour short and in the important and interesting most relevant historical area of the city.

Very informative and comprehensive and a good assortment of sites.

Professional and fun tour

I recently did a tour with Uncle J in Old San Juan, and it was truly exceptional. I was traveling with my 12-year-old son and my wife and Uncle J immediately connected with us making the whole experience fun, interactive, and full of great stories. He has an amazing way of bringing history to life so that kids and adults are engaged the entire time. We learned so much about the forts, the culture, and the city’s past, but it never felt like a lecture, it was exciting, entertaining, and paced perfectly. Uncle J is knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does, and it shows in every moment of the tour. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Old San Juan, especially families. It was one of the highlights of our trip! Thanks Uncle J for the amazing tour.

We really enjoyed the tour and learned many things about San Juan!

Uno de los mejores free tours que he hecho en mi vida. Además de una persona tremendamente interesante, cuando la historia de la isla con una pasión extraordinaria. No puedo recomendarlo más.

Carmen was our first Guru. We loved her tour. She took plenty of time with our group. She was knowledgeable and passionate about sharing her city. Enjoyed her recommendations for ice cream and lunch. Thank you, Carmen!

Great tour

Carmen es muy buen guía, te lleva a conocer lo general de todo Viejo San Juan, para que luego decidas a qué quieres darle énfasis.

Carmen was extremity friendly and very knowledgeable. Excellent introduction to our trip in San Juan

We enjoyed our tour of Old San Juan with Carmen. She is a wonderful source of information about the city and the island of Puerto Rico. She has a fun and engaging personality, happily answers all questions, and even tailors the tour according to the group's interests. We would certainly recommend Carmen and this tour. Gracias Carmen!

Cuando lo vi me sorprendió verlo vestido asi. Pero fue muy entretenido la verdad.

He asks for prepayment when the tour starts. This was surprising to us, but the tour was great. Good experience overall!

We had a fantastic time on Uncle J’s tour of Puerto Rico’s historic fortresses. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant, sharing fascinating stories that made history come alive. We were only in Puerto Rico for the day, and we would never have learned so much or accomplished as much on our own. There was quite a bit of walking, including some ups and downs and uneven pavement, which could be a challenge for travelers with mobility issues. We’re fit, so we enjoyed the activity- it was a great way to get some exercise while learning! Uncle J is soft-spoken, so you may want to stay close to him to catch all the interesting information he has to share. His unique outfit also made for some great photos! Overall, we’d highly recommend this tour, it’s absolutely worth it.

Carmen was an absolutely phenomenal tour guide! She gave us an incredible experience exploring Old San Juan, sharing fascinating stories about its history, culture, and landmarks. Her knowledge and passion for the city truly brought every stop to life. Carmen was engaging, dynamic, and handled the group with ease, always making sure everyone was comfortable, included, and having a great time. What made the tour even more impressive was how effortlessly she switched between English and Spanish so that everyone could understand and enjoy the experience. She went above and beyond to accommodate everyone’s needs, answer questions, and make the tour both educational and fun. I highly recommend Carmen to anyone visiting Puerto Rico, she made our day unforgettable!

Unkle J took my finance and I on a spectacular tour by explaining the history of Puerto Rico and each fort as well as La Factoria!! He’s very famous among the locals and tourists so don’t be afraid to photo bomb photos of him!!! He will also take wonderful “honeymoon” photos during the tour

Wealth of knowledge. Been here 5 times but this was the best tour ever.

So, Uncle J do give a fun and different tour, including using a costume that fits with the tour Concept. He is obviously knowledgeable about the Island history, and from a knowledge point of view, you will get as much as you are willing to put in the tour: Word of warning for people used to “GuruWalk” methods, while he does mention it in his summary, he is quite upfront about requesting his tip upfront along with the cost of entering the castles. So if you know that and gets over it, you’ll save everyone awkward moments and You’ll have a great, fun and different tour 👍🏻

He was very informative and a great guide
