This behind-the-scenes guided walk takes you through San Cristobal Fort's secret tunnels and mysterious dungeons. It's your chance to get a feel for the intrigue and mischief that drove daily life at the fort, occupied by soldiers, sailors, noblemen, servants and slaves.
Next, in complete contrast, you'll stop at the Capitol building of Puerto Rico -- home to the island's Senate and House of Representatives. Take some fantastic pictures; then, walk down Constitution Avenue to learn the stories of some impressive landmarks -- the Casa de España, the Casino of Puerto Rico and the Plaza de los Presidentes.
Travel through time at South Fortaleza Street and learn the history behind the Tapia Theater, the Arturo Somuhano Plaza and the famous Christopher Columbus Plaza.
Enjoy some free time in the San Francisco Street shopping district or return directly to the ship.
