Carlos offers three options for his private tour of San Juan, including a customizable option that allows you to create your own itinerary.

Walk and Drive Option:
Visit the historic landmarks of San Cristobal Fort and El Morro, which were built by the Spanish centuries ago to protect the city. You'll then pay a visit to Puerto Rico's Capitol Building, home of the Legislative Assembly. Continue down the cobbled brick streets along Paseo La Princesa, passing the Convention Center and Financial District (Golden Mile) before heading across the Teodoro Moscoso Bridge, where the final scenes of the movie Fast and Furious Five were shot.

Make a stop in the neighborhood of Pinones to purchase and taste authentic Puerto Rican food and drinks. Then, cruise down Isla Verde Avenue, Mcleary Street in Ocean Park and Ashford Avenue in Condado, where you'll have time to walk around before heading back to the cruise ship.

Drive Only:
Same itinerary as the Drive and Walk option, but you'll see all the landmarks and points of interest from inside the limousine van.

Create Your Own Itinerary:
Viator’s Create Your Own Itinerary option allows you to design your own tour with maximum flexibility. Communicate directly with Carlos and build your dream tour for your time in port in San Juan. Depending on your custom itinerary, some entrance fees may not be included and are payable direct on the day of your tour. Upon confirmation, you will receive contact details to work directly with Carlos to build your custom tour. This custom tour is approximately four hours long.

Worry-free Shore Excursion:
We will ensure your timely return to San Juan for this activity. If you are not returned to the ship in time to board, we will arrange for transportation to the next port-of-call. See our terms and conditions for full details.
