Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Terrible. It forced you to stay only on THEIR path. I prefer guided tours that number the sites and let you skip around from number to number. Their map had us backtracking several times. We found it inconvenient to follow their path, but we couldn’t step out of line without it telling us to turn around or go back. Ugh!! We bailed because we were so disappointed it would not let us skip to the sites WE wanted to hear about!!

Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback about our Old San Juan audio guide. We understand your desire for flexibility - while you can actually view the complete map and script on your screen to plan which sites interest you most, this tour is intentionally designed as an immersive journey that weaves together Old San Juan's rich colonial history and architectural stories in a carefully crafted sequence. Each turn is purposefully planned to help you discover hidden gems and unexpected treasures within the UNESCO World Heritage streets, with stories building upon each other to create a deeper understanding of the city's 500-year history.
Best, Helene

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!

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.

How many miles is this walking tour, and are there a lot of hills to climb?
