The Bacardi Tour was interesting and the drinks were great. Our guide for the Old San Juan tour was fabulous! He knew so much about the city and forts. I'd do this again!

Our guide was great, he gave us alot of history about where we were going and the places we happen to be driving past. The Bacardi tour took most of the time. It was fun and the free drinks were great. But don't expect to see the inside of the plant. You get on a shuttle and it takes you to the visitor center where you see a 10 minute film and a guide tells you the history of the place. You get back on the shuttle which shows you the grounds and brings you back to the souvenir building and you can have your second free drink while you wait for everyone from you group to get on the tour bus.
Next was the fort when we were supposed to have an hour there, but the people at the fort told us we only had 30 minutes. That was disappointing since it was huge and we would like to have stayed a little longer, but we did get to the top which was breathtaking. Took some pics in the turret and on the cannon balls. Walked through the tunnels. It was great. To be walking through a place that old with all that history. It's phenomenal.
Next, to Old San Juan. We had an hour here. Some people took this opportunity to have dinner, we wanted to walk the streets and shop. We had a great time on this tour, it was fun and informative. We highly recommend it.
The presentation was outstanding. The guide was extremely knowledgeable. We would recommend it to all our friends going to San Juan.

We had a great time and the rum factory tour was a blast. People are so friendly there and the rum keeps on coming. Very interesting tour and well worth the trip to see.

Tour gave a good overview of San Juan. The Bacardi tour was a lot of fun, and the marketing dept does a great job. Tour bus lacks an audio system, so much of the historical commentary was lost to those of us sitting more than two rows back.
