really a nice place, the views were breathtaking, very clean, lots of history, and they had a demonstration while we were there. and the trolly around town was free on sunday and went right in front of us.

it was closed the day we tried to enter, and the front door people didn't even talk to us when we asked their times and if they offered tours. one snorted under his breath when we turned around, which my husband found very rude.

Tours seem to happen in English and Spanish at 9:00A and 10:00A. The loveliest staff EVER! Wonderful guides show you the grounds of the property while a security guard "shadows" the group. Gorgeous vista's of San Juan Bay, beautiful Formal Sunken Gardens with Moorish Tiled fountain and their guides can answer almost any question imaginable. I've taken the tour twice...

Was really looking forward to a tour of La Fortaleza but we were informed that the tour was only of the gardens and did not actually go inside. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all our questions. Beautiful building and history.

We were amazed by the size of the fort and the large number of people that were gathered there without making you feel crowded or hurried. A great place to take children too.
