 My wife and I took the legends tour. We enjoyed it so much that we then scheduled the San Juan city tour. Debbie knows her stuff. She is pleasant, well informed, and provides wonderful tours. Perhaps her greatest talent is providing her customers with the skills needed to successfully navigate the city on their own, after her tour.

 This was a truly exceptional tour--we recommend Debbie very highly. Debbie knows the old city very well: the people and the places. We walked the beautiful back streets, entered remarkable buildings, and saw lovely courtyards and dramatic scenes. Debbie is engaging and informed about her city, and helped us appreciate this truly special city. In talking with others back on the ship, it was clear that we had a much better experience.Setting up the tour with Debbie was easy to do by email. She also was very responsive to us when our ship changed the time in port-on short notice, she met us two hours early and was very easy to find at the tourist information center. We come away from the tour with lots of great photos and a necklace made locally. I passed on the cigar that I watched being rolled at a street stand, but Debbie knew everyone and we felt she was sharing her love of her city with us.

 Hi
Debbie, We
made it back last night and the temp was 11 degrees, I hope you got to
your cigars and Don Q over the weekend. I just wanted to send a
note to say thank you for the tour on Friday evening in San Juan.
We all had a great time and found it very informative. San Juan
is a beautiful city and your represent her very well. You should
be proud and I wish you all the success in the future. I hope
New Years with the family is fun. I gave your name to a
gentleman I met on Sunday at the hotel. Have a wonderful
Christmas and Happy Healthy New Year!

the best, Jim

 Debbie was highly entertaining and informative. She made the history of San Juan "come alive". It has given us a desire to return to San Juan to learn more and to enjoy the city. I have forwarded the information of this tour to my Doctor who is visiting San Juan in Feb. and is wanting a good guide to the city.

Dear
Debbie, Lynn and I want to thank you for the wonderful Night Tales
tour. It was a little strange at first being the only people on the tour,
but as we progressed along the route it all became more interesting and
informative. Your knowledge of the region and stories were fascinating
and I felt I had taken with me something that a snorkel excursion or
island taxi tour could ever give. It was the understanding of how rich
the history of Puerto Rico is that I felt a deeper respect for the
people and culture of San Juan. Your tour also reflected your own
pride in your people, legends and history. I was quick to recall some of
your stories with a family at our dinner table, a family who had left
Puerto Rico 12 years earlier and their eyes lit up with some of
the stories I told. It was truly a highlight of our Cruise and San Juan
and we both thank you again. Lynn and Rick Schilling, USA -

20th, 2004, 11:46 AM We
just got back from Golden Princess. Did the morning tour with Debbie.
She is a delightful person, well-educated and adds a lot of information
that you would never get on your own. We even had lunch with her and
would never have found the restaurant we did without her council. Her
evening tour sounds very interesting just like her morning tour was.

 Thanks
Debbie for the great Night Tales tour......We thought that a tour would
be nice but weren't sure how interested we would be in the
details....You earned your keep that night! We
were hanging on your stories with enjoyment! You had a
way of making everybody think they were the only people ever to take the
tour; that you could make it that interesting to a group of 5 people!
Thanks Again! Don and Elsie Watson, USA - Night

travel agents needs (I heard lunch was great!).
Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Thank
you very much for the group picture and the opportunity to complete the
survey. We had a wonderful time with Debbie. Her tour was
well organized, informative, and lots of fun. This was an outstanding introduction to Old San Juan, and it was enjoyed by wide range of ages (5 - 70).
Debbie was extremely delightful and so very well informed! It also
seemed that the rest stops and chances to sit down came at just the
right times, and we also enjoyed the Limbers (sp?) or
"Lindbergs." Anne and Glenn Horner, USA - Legends

In
addition to learning about the history of Old San Juan, we really
enjoyed stopping for the limbers. (We returned to get them again the
next day.) It was a great tour! Catherine Pankow, USA - Legends of San Juan tour,

Debbie,
I tried to add this to my comments in the survey but it was too long. I
just wanted to pass along my appreciation for the fact that you went out
of your way to take us to an excellent restaurant on the way back at the
end of the tour. You went in and introduced us to the owner and the
Maitre D'. I felt this was the personal touch that makes a good
tour better!! I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody I
know that visits San Juan in the future. Keep up the good work. Thanks,

The
tour was very nice. You did the most that can be done in three hours. I
was happy with your choice of things to see - e.g. I liked that you've
shown us Fort San Cristobal (earlier that same day I visited El Morro on
my own). I liked that you brought us to houses and buildings that
are otherwise inaccessible to tourists. I liked the crypt in the
basement of the church. You are a very knowledgeable and
personable tour guide. I enjoyed your tour and would recommend everyone
to go on a tour with you. Your business should do well - I can't imagine
while anyone would not go with you instead of one of those stupid bus
tours. Vlado Voluvic, USA - Legends of San Juan tour,

"Debbie
was very knowledgeable and had obviously spent a lot of time and effort
to provide an interesting and highly entertaining presentation on Old
San Juan. Her enthusiasm is contagious, greatly adding to the
value and enjoyment of the tour. She is inquisitive of her clients
interests and directs her presentation to accommodate that interest as
she did with us in an impromptu visit to a local market to discuss
Puerto Rico's coffee industry. I would certainly recommend this
tour and would hope to take her other tours upon returning to San Juan.
Debbie provides a wonderful introduction to San Juan and to Puerto Rico,
making one want to return for a longer visit." Darral and

Dear
Debbie, Thank
you for sending the picture. We enjoyed our tour; it was
especially nice to visit some of the "off limits to
tourists" locations, such as the reception room at the old City
Hall. We were glad to learn about the shop that sells limbers
near El Convento -- we returned several times! Best
wishes, Larry Franks and Ellen Berelson, USA - Legends

Hi
Debbie, Thank
you for a most enjoyable evening tour on February 18. We really
enjoyed all the tours of the state buildings that we would never have
been able to enter without you. And we also gained a lot of info
about the history of Old San Juan and Puerto Rico. Thanks again for a
great tour and it was a pleasure meeting you. We wish you the
best in your endeavors and hope to see you in Old San Juan again!
