“Danny was an amazing tour guide. We had a group of 18 from all demographics. He set a great pace for all and we finished the tour in the time allotted. He makes several stops along the way to explain things. Danny has such a passion for what he does and Puerto Rico and therefore does a great job. He also points out cafes, bars and eateries along the way. The walk was not physically difficult but I would not recommend if you’re physically restricted. You’re walking on narrow sidewalks, cobble streets and such (no issue with us, just putting that out there). I would highly recommend this tour.”

Also, despite booking a ghost tour, it turned out to be an expensive historical tour. When we questioned the guide about the discrepancy, he resorted to making offensive comments about our skin color, accents, and nationality. He even made us feel uncomfortable by asking personal questions about where we were staying and our parking location. The guide's behavior was unprofessional and disrespectful. Despite reporting the incident to Viator where we booked the tour from, since the tour’s owner, Mike, refused to provide us with a refund, Viator also did…”
