In what language can we have the audio guide?
Sorry to ask the question here, but I tried other ways to get the answer and I didn't get it.

When you walked off track it was difficult to pick up where you left off. I would suggest providing an actual itinerary of the tour so people can ask for directions if lost.

I wanted to like this tour because I thought it a wonderful idea to involve kids in making it. However, I was very disappointed. It was difficult to hear much of the narrative because some of the kids' voices were not very clear. Many of the stops were simply there to encourage you to keep going (unnecessary with a map and a GPS locator). When the information about the buildings was provided, it did not go beyond the basic facts (year(s) built, remodeled, etc.) with very little historical or cultural context provided. In particular, Ponce de Leon was the first governor of PR but that hardly makes him a heroic figure.

Old San Juan was very informative. We did have problems with the gps however. Our location was not accurate it seems.

I really enjoyed the audio tour of Old San Juan! The only hiccup was that there was construction on a road that threw the tour off a bit. But I was able to put in the location where I was and started the tour back from there. I could stop and go as I pleased! Highly recommended.

The precise location. As you moved the “guide” will move and start talking about the building once you got there. Incredible. Short and sweet stories. We love it!

This self-guided tour is highly recommended for independent travelers who want their own pace. It is a very informative tour where each point of interest is a history lesson. The recording needs to be downloaded beforehand. It is clear and understandable. Try it out! Thank you, Talking Buildings of Old San Juan!

So fun!! I had a wonderful time walking around with all this well-researched history in my ear, and the kids saying it made it so much cuter!! So much better than a tour because I got to stop and shop or wander off whenever I wanted. Also felt very safe walking around as a solo young woman.
