I would highly recommend this ghost tour to anyone who is searching for a rich look into the darker history of Old San Juan. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, and took us on a considerable circuit around the entire city. He gave us many interesting facts and historical insights that would not typically be discussed in your average history book. The walk was long, but manageable with the “cool” night air. The tour was about 3 hours total. 100% worth the price. If you are thinking about it, just book it, you won’t regret it!
