Here you can find a lot of information about Ponce, Puerto Rico. A couple of us cruisers asked about Ponce, and a couple local Ponce folks replied.

I just found this nice blog about things to do in Ponce. The owners are conducting guided tours of downtown Ponce, so feel free if they have any set for your day at Ponce!

Another good suggestion and quite reasonable $. Thanks. You have done better than me at finding possible things to do in Ponce.

I Googled "list of tourist attractions in Ponce PR" and get some good hits with information on places to visit, maybe it can help you find places of interest. Downtown Ponce has plenty to offer, and the coffee plantation sounds like a good trip idea (Hacienda Buena Vista maybe?)

 

I believe that the cruise that visited a few weeks ago were transported in city hall trolleys, apart from taxis that gave service. There's also lots Uber service in Ponce. GPS works well if you decide to rent a car for the day.

Thank you! City hall trolleys would be great! We are considering Hacienda Buena Vista or Hacienda Pomarrosa which is about an hour's drive from Ponce. I think downtown Ponce has some interesting buildings, museums, etc., but we might be doing the car rental adventure too.

There isn't too much information about Ponce, and I am wondering how we would get into town when the cruise ship arrives (Royal Caribbean in March). Taxi or shuttle? We are considering renting a car and going to a coffee plantation then....or walking around town once we get into town.

(I'm not sure if I am posting this correctly - i.e. in the right place. Sorry if it is in the wrong place.)

We are cruising to St. Kitts for the first time so we want a good, informative, enjoyable tour of the highlights! It seems all of these "companies" have good reputations. We like local history, culture, nature, and scenic views. I think they all cover these areas, but we can't go with them all! Any advice?

We've decided a tour with JNJ or Mandoo is in our future - March, 2018. Both companies have choices of tours. We would appreciate any advice about which company and/or which tour to go on. It is our first trip to Grenada so we want to see the main attractions. Beach time is not very high on our list of important things, but spices, waterfalls, nature, etc. are. We like chocolate too. Thanks.
