Our family and I had a beautiful experience with our tour guide Pebbles. She made the walk super enjoyable and we learned so much about the beautiful Puerto Rico.
Excellent experience! Our tour guide - Pebbles was super knowledgeable and was so much fun to be around. My family and I learned so much about the beautiful country of Puerto Rico! I would 100% recommend booking with this company.
The tour of the Viejo San Juan was incredible. It gave us historical context to truly embrace and understand the beauty and importance of the capital city. The tour guide was knowledgeable, sweet and caring. I truly recommend this tour to get the local perspective of history as well as the nooks and crannies of the city. I highly recommend!!!
We walked, we talked, we laughed, we giggled, but most importantly we learned. Our guide was born and raised in Puerto Rico, she is so knowledgeable of the history of her island. she’s also a college counselor so very well educated, well-rounded young lady.
Great tour with great energy and plenty of historical facts.
We absolutely loved the Old San Juan Sunset Photo Walk & History Tour with Mariana from Bori Local Tours! Mariana was enthusiastic, intelligent, and incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of Old San Juan. She made every stop interesting and engaging, and the tour was perfectly paced—the length was just right. The complimentary beer came at the perfect time during the walk and each tour stop was well-thought-out. Mariana also went above and beyond by taking countless photos of my boyfriend, me, and our group, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience while still capturing amazing memories. At the end of the tour, she sent over a list of personal recommendations that was incredibly thoughtful, detailed, and helpful for the rest of our stay. If we had been in Puerto Rico longer, we absolutely would have booked another one of her tours. We highly recommend Mariana and Bori Local Tours to anyone looking for a fun, informative, and memorable experience in Old San Juan!
Mariana gave us the most insightful, well prepared and personal experiance of Old San Juan. She is passionate about her heritage and the history of the Island. She majored in Political Science and therefor gave us info that we would not have known otherwise. She also showed us the hidden gems that you won't get on another tour. She was so professional yet made the tour personal. We will never forget the meaning of the different flags that is seen throughout the city. We recommend this tour to everybody.The price of the tour was affordable and included a beer and some sweets. If you ever want to know more about this beautiful island and their story, I will highly recommend this tour. Thanks again for an unforgetable experience.
Finished our awesome Friday with the Sunset Photo Walk in Old San Juan with Mariana. I’ve visited Puerto Rico several times, but this tour of Old San Juan is truly a must if you want to understand the magic of this city. Thank you for helping me and my daughter fall even more in love with la isla del encanto.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We took the Sunset Historical Tour and it was absolutely worth it. Mariana was knowledgeable, engaging, and had a way of bringing the history of Puerto Rico to life that kept everyone interested from start to finish. She balanced historical facts, local culture, and fun stories perfectly, making the experience feel personal rather than just another tour. What stood out most was her passion for the island and her genuine care for making sure everyone had a great experience. The sunset views were beautiful, but Mariana’s storytelling made the evening unforgettable. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, this tour gives you a deeper appreciation for the history, people, and beauty of Puerto Rico. Thank you, Mariana, for an amazing experience.
