Old San Juan Tour

My Pureto Rico trip is coming to an end soon and I will be leaving on Sunday. This trip has been an amazing learning experience! Since I also have a background in tourism from school its been very interesting to learn about the different factors that tourism has on Puerto Rico. Today, I was a trip director to a group of 12 on a excersion. The excersion included a stop at the Bacardi Rum Factory, a stop at Fort San Cristobal and then the group had a chance to have lunch and walk around Old San Juan.
The Bacardi Tour was about an hour long and the group was able to see how rum is made also the history behind the Bacardi family. It was very intersting and we also were able to taste the different rums!
Fort San Cristobal was very intersting. The fort was bulit in the 1500's by the Spanish. We were able to walk through the tunnels that the soliders would use to attack. The fort was HUGE! After the fort I walked around Old San Jaun making sure that all attendees were having a good time. All the women seemed to flock to the Coach Outlet, It was pretty funny!
All in all the excursion was a sucess and I was glad that I left with 12 attendees and came back with 12 also. I made me feel really good that I could manage a group in a destination that I had never been in. Hope all is well and I'm looking forward to coming back to Arizona!
