Free walking tours in San Juan

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.

The best! Very fun and informative tour - perfect mix of history and fun facts (and lots of jokes). Loved it.

The tour was so much better than expected! First off, Uncle J was kind enough to still give the tour even though it was only two of us. He knows SO MUCH and provided us with so much information! We went to a couple of castles and walked through the Main Street of Old SJ, all while he gave us history insights and recommendations of where to eat and visit. The tour was about 3.5 hrs and very thorough! If you’re in town, highly recommend!!

It was raining at the start of the tour but Uncle J did the tour anyway. He is knowledgeable and communicates in a relatable way. The route he takes is stunning. My favorite was spending time in the castle (40 minutes). If for no other reason- take the tour just to meet this wonderful tour guide!

Uncle J is certainly a unique guy! Excellent tour, super nice guy. We learned a lot. Be prepared for a lot of walking, but that is the point! No hesitation in booking.

Frank told us upfront he doesn't follow a script as he casters each tour to the individual participants' interests.

El guia nos esperó para empezar el tour porque llegamos atrasadas por 10 minutos pero nos comunicamos con el y fuè muy gentil al esperarnos. Luego empezamos con la historia desde el Punto de encuentro y por casi tres horas nos transmitió su conocimiento. Muy profesional. Mi calificación para este tour es 10/10

Jonny is an absolute character, he was a wealth of knowledge and it was presented in an interesting and informative style. I can't recommend this tour with Jonny as the guide highly enough, you'll have a blast.
