Our tour with Viator was cancelled at the last minute. I tried to find several options. I was very grateful to find Jess and Lux at San Juan Taxi and Tours. Luz gave us a great tour. She was well informed, spoke great English, was friendly and answered questions very well. We had a wonderful 2 1/2 hour taxi tour of Old San Juan and surrounding areas.

I want to share with you our recent experience with Luz and her taxi service. Luz was absolutely amazing! She displayed excellent command of English and was always punctual. We had a group of twenty priests to take on a tour of Old San Juan, and Luz made sure everything ran smoothly. During the tour, she organized a photographer, and the photos were promptly sent to my phone. I am beyond impressed and will definitely recommend this service to anyone visiting. Thank you for a job well done!

This was my first time in Puerto Rico and on our last day which was also my birthday. My fiancé booked the tour for us to burn time waiting for our flight. Honestly, I thought we we’re just gonna be riding around listening to the driver. I was wrong, Luz was absolutely amazing. Her passion made it perfect as she drew us into the tour. She understood the importance of capturing great memories by offering to take our pictures. Hundreds of photos around the island, walks on the beach, riverside views, great food, we learnt history and about the culture, all customized experiences to fit our needs, laughter and so much more. It was a great experience. She did a great job and I doubt it could’ve been better without her.
