We loved the vibe of San Juan. So cool to experience the city with the local.
I was skeptical at first since I hadn’t heard about Opatrip before. But after talking with their manager I felt very comfortable. They customized the program because I was with two children. The guide was so good with kids, he event made the quiz at the end of a tour which made us enjoy our time with him even more.Â
