The 3 Self-Guided Tours in Puerto Rico That Earn Their Price

1.San Juan Self-Guided Walking Audio Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 44 reviews · from $16Our pick

Walk Old San Juan from the La Corazon Steps to Paseo de la Princesa with ROBI’s GPS-triggered audio narration. Hear about Columbus, pirate attacks, Spanish fortifications, Casa Blanca, the cathedral, and San Juan’s old walls. Download the Action app before you go, then follow the route offline, pausing for food, photos, or fort visits.

“The audio tour was amazing and the fact that it was set to gps was awesome. We could stop and talk or look longer and not be held to some arbitrary timeline from a tour group. We were in our own, free to speed up and slow down, or skip as we liked was great. The voiceover was very good and packed with so much information. We loved it. And the price was less than 1/4 of the traditional tours. Just be sure to pre-download everything in case you have service issues.”
