Does anyone know of any good bus/cab tours of San Juan. Will be traveling with my Mother who wears a leg brace and is not able to walk well.

LIMITED MOBILITY TOUR OF SAN JUAN San Juan is a wonderful city and the nucleus, Old San Juan, is a walled city full of charm and character. Some of its streets are paved with small grey-blue cobblestones which were brought over as ships' ballast, and are lined with colonial churches, houses, and government buildings.

This wonderful operator has made it his business to show his city off to everyone, particularly those who have mobility problems. He is personable, flexible, and will deliver San Juan to your door.

You will be picked up at your cruise pier or your hotel in a state-of-the-art vehicle with wheelchair lifts. We have designed an itinerary that will allow you to see the city in detail. Where the streets are narrow in the Old San Juan, you will travel past many wonderful architectural sites, such as the Cathedral, Fort San Cristobal, Parque de las Palomas, the Pablo Casals Museum, and some of the lovely plazas where men and boys play games on concrete tables day and night.

You will be able to tour El Morro, which was built in 1591 to defend the entrance to the harbour. Here you will be directed to ramps to allow touring, also available at Fort San Cristobal.

You will have some freetime in San Juan and, if you like, our guide has a wonderful restaurant with local dishes that will welcome you. Cost of food is not included in the tour.

Victor, you are one of only a handful of tour guides anywhere in the world who provides tours for the mobility impaired!

Being able to travel and enjoy touring is becoming easier for those folks now.

Thanks Char, it was one of those things that just happenned. You see, one travel agent was looking to see if we can provide this service through the slightly challenging old San Juan streets. We found a route and did it , the persons were delighted and now we expect to continue doing.
As you might know, old San Juan is not an easy walking town at all but as the expert travel agent, Connie, said, "this is doable".
