sharecruises Posted February 9, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2011 San Juan...picked up a city tour for 20 bucks....wonderful driver/gude Javier, spoke perfect English and he shared so much information and insights ...we drove around to the condato area and looked at hotels, stoped at a trinket shop, he had 3 guys stand behind a "fountain" that looked like they were....LOL>> going to bathroom....haha....great photo op we went to the Capitol building all marble and so many statues, very interesting, a gal guide showed us around there...we drove past the dangerous :La Perla: housing area and drove by the 2 forts , stopped at overlooks, saw the kite flyers and then we were dropped in town and walked back, lovely old buildings, neat shops...I had a Pina Colada yum at Barrachinos that claims to have invented them...beautiful courtyard with parrots ...you can take a drink with you in a to -go cup (like Key West) San Juan was lovely and I would love to go back there again for a longer stay, maybe do a southern cruise from there (and frankly most everyone spoke good English, which is more than I can say for Miami LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpreece Posted February 15, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I found mine by going to the end of the pier and speaking with several tour guides until I found one that I liked. I took the rainforest tour and included the city tour after stopping also at the capitol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2cool2cruise Posted February 15, 2011 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2011 any more info about finding these guides in the pier? what did they charge you for the city tour and rainforest tour? i'm planning to do the same in the morning before checking in on the cruise...so perhaps a 4 or 5 hr tour would be ideal.

carraizo99 Posted February 16, 2011 #6 Share Posted February 16, 2011 You can get tours in any of pier at San Juan through the independent guides there. They offer all the tours at great prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
