  • This one of great places to visit. Local historic castle. All tourist guide is lovely and friendly. what i like most inside the castle was the first time i able to see made in gold dining ware from 1930’s. Also, the interior design and furniture was stunning. Must see it in person, since photos are not allowed during the tour inside the castle. For me its all worth it. The price for tour was cheap too. Also, They have souvenirs shop and bar that have a lot of choices.
  • Really cool part of Ponce's history. Worth checking out for the view alone. Its location and altitude overlooks most of the city. During the days it's nice, offering tours of inside and the medium sized (.5 acre?) Garden areas. It has a Cafe and gift shops, and Don Q tasting areas. At sunset and at night, it's pretty gorgeous. Absolutely worth the trip if your staying in Ponce.
  • Nice tour of home built in 1930's. Short film to start explaining history etc... Then a guide escorts through the home highlighting era specific items relating to life of very rich people and how they coped. Must have been tough indeed. Photos forbidden inside. Our ticket also included Japanese garden and Cruceta across the road. Spectacular views. Breezy would be an understatement. One can purchase Don Q Related products.
  • Wonderful tour, informative and well narrated by experienced ambassadors. The views and grounds are spectacular and the coquito tasting at the end was the icing on the cake. This is my 2nd time doing this tour in the last 10 years, it's worth seeing a piece of history
  • This was an amazing experience. Highly recommend!! A must do in PONCE, PR. You can see the whole city from this point. The views are spectacular. The Don Q tour is 110% worth it. I love this Rum, and to see its origins was really cool. Highly recommend 11/10.
