Old San Juan, a cultural delight unlike any other. Experience life from centuries ago on an unforgettable walk through Old San Juan. With stops at the original gate to the city, its oldest fort - Castillo San Felipe del Morro, two 16th-century cathedrals, and La Fortaleza mansion, to name a few! We will navigate both the streets of Old San Juan and tales of conquest and perseverance woven into the fabric of this great city.

After visiting the many highlights and landmarks of Old San Juan, we will venture through the Calle Fortaleza shopping district. Calle Fortaleza is home to shops, restaurants, and souvenirs galore! Guests will have a chance to buy memorabilia to remind them of this amazing day for years to come.

At the conclusion of our historical walking tour, guests will have 2 hours at leisure to explore the city on their own! This is a great opportunity to try locally inspired dishes and drinks!
