OLD AND NEW SAN JUAN TOUR
$220 Chartered For 4 People
There
is a magical quality to San Juan. The Old San Juan is the nucleus, an old
walled city that peninsulas out with the Atlantic and San Juan bay on
either side. It has a great deal of charm and character. The Institute of
Culture has been restoring and renovating buildings, museums and places of
particular beauty. It is divided by narrow streets, many still paved with
cobblestones. It will be this charm that you will find enticing as you see
the Governor's Palace, the Cathedral, the tiny Cristo Chapel, Fort San
Cristobal and many more highlights bordering small plazas throughout the
city.
On the other hand, your visit will also include some of the coastline of
the metropolitan areas, particularly in the Condado area. This is where
the luxury hotels, casinos, nightclubs and restaurants line the beach area
and the nearby neighborhoods.
But the best part of this tour is meeting Victor. He will add a dimension
to your stay that is hard to find elsewhere. He is a sweet, gentle man and
he is so excited to be able to show the best side of a city that Barry and
I have come to love. I would choose this tour if I wanted to connect with
this sometimes mysterious, often magnificent part of our country.
