Lismar, our guide was phenomenal. It was evident she loves her City and her Island. She and her husband both do tours in and around Old San Juan. She showed us all the "must see" places, and also some off the beaten path areas to see some amazing street art. Her storytelling is entertaining and very informative. Her previous life as a school teacher shines! I look forward to my next visit to San Juan when I can book another excursion with her!
