Free tours a San Juan

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

We took the tour yesterday. It was a delight! Uncle J is light-hearted but also very knowledgeable and thoughtful and he looked out for each of the people on the tour. I recommend this tour highly!

This is NOT A FREE TOUR nor a PAY WHAT YOU WANT tour. The tour guide collects his fee ($15US per person) plus entrance fee for forts before the tour starts. I therefore do not think this tour belongs on GuruWalk.

Great guide, intimate your, great sense of humor and information.

Uncle Jay was great! He had a lot to say, charismatic and fun. The tour length and the information given were more than I expected 👍🏽

I had an amazing experience on this tour getting to know the Old San Juan! Uncle J is incredible knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about the history of this beautiful city and island. I was so fortunate to start off my trip in his presence!

What I liked most about the tour with Carmen, was it felt like we were hanging out with a local. She shared historical stories that shaped the island, the best places to eat, and notes about the culture / tradition. She even threw in a little salsa lesson at the end.

Este tour es una buena oportunidad de conocer los dos castillos. En el primero hubo mucha información y un lindo paseo. En el segundo casi no hubo información pero sí paseo. Importante llevar efectivo porque hay que dar el dinero de entrada al inicio y Uncle J solicita 15 dólares por el tour.

Lovely place, fun guy.

A very fun castles tour with uncle J

Great detail and information! Our Old San Juan tour really gave us a better idea of the history of the city and the elements that make this art of the city unique.

Tour muy interesante, aprendimos mucho sobre los castillos/fuertes de San Juan y sobre la historia de Puerto Rico. Uncle J es muy simpático y su tour es muy ameno y entretenido. Lo recomendamos al 100%.

Last minute booking turned out to be a great time exploring the city with a local expert , highly recommended

Best tour !! Uncle J has the best attitude and historic data.

Experiencia única. Recorrimos gran parte de la ciudad acompañados siempre de informacion por parte del guia. Gran dominio del tema y mucha paciencia para contestar cualquier pregunta.
