Amazing experience - Had a blast on this tour. Big thank you to Laura for showing me around the island. I learned so much from her plus she’s a very fun person to be around which made this tour feel like a friends’ roadtrip. We stopped at so many beautiful spots and she took the best pictures of me! I highly recommend you book this tour.

Due to a rescheduling we... - Due to a rescheduling we had to do the tour on January 1., so unfortunately the Taino ceremonial center was closed, but our tour guide Laura planned a more customised experience four us. It was in general a nice and long day 12hours) a little bit too much driving and little time at certain locations but we see at least a lot from the southwest part of the island.

The Heart and Soul of Puerto Rico! - Our tour with Laura from Sofrito Tours LLC was the highlight of our vacation. The Southwestern Puerto Rican tour is a must-do. The Southwestern Puerto Rican Tour was hands down the best experience of our entire trip. If you are looking for an authentic taste of Puerto Rico, look no further than Sofrito Tours LLC. We saw a side of the island many travelers miss—from the beauty of the ocean to the rich history of the cities. Laura is knowledgeable, kind, and clearly passionate about her culture. We felt the true warmth of the Puerto Rican people thanks to her. 10/10! Our guide, Laura, was absolutely incredible. She didn't just show us the sites; she curated an experience that touched on everything: the breathtaking beauty of nature, the vibrant local culture, and the stunning ocean views. We explored charming cities and felt the genuine hospitality of the local people at every stop. We had an amazing time with Sofrito Tours LLC on their Southwestern tour. Laura is the best tour guide we’ve ever had! She showed us the perfect mix of nature, culture, and city life. The hospitality of the locals was heartwarming, and the scenery was postcard-perfect. Laura really looked after us and made the day special. Highly recommend.

The most authentic tour - If you want to get to know the island outside of the tourist spots, without having to rent a car and maneuver the different driving style in PR, all the while learning about PR directly from a local - this is the tour for you!!! This is one of the best excursions I have done hands down, with beautiful sights and meeting great people. I left PR feeling like I actually got to see and know the island. Highly recommend!

Best Way to Explore Puerto Rico! - The experience with Sofrito Tours was exactly what I was looking for during my stay in beautiful Puerto Rico! Exploring beyond San Juan, we discovered amazing natural and historical gems, with breathtaking drives through the mountains from one stunning landscape to another. Laura was the perfect guide: knowledgeable, attentive, and always making sure we got the most out of the day, even when the sun wasn’t shining. Highly recommended!

10/10 for Sofrito Tours - Jan Carlo was outstanding . He really nailed the road trip vibe that we were hoping for and it felt like we were traveling around with a close friend that we had known for years. He tailored our trip to meet our own interests and we feel like we made a friend for life! We would definitely go on a sofrito tour again!

Laura was great. It ended... - Laura was great. It ended up being just me and my two teens on the tour, and she catered our tour to what we were interested in seeing. She was very knowledgeable and I am confident she could/would cater to the desires of any other group and their interests. We definitely saw things we would not have found on our own and she also gave us tons of great information for our remaining time in Puerto Rico.

Great tour with a great guide - Jan Carlo was an amazing guide and the trip was perfect. I learned a lot about the island and never felt like I was in a bunch of “touristy” places. Jan Carlo went the extra mile to ensure we had a great time. He was knowledgeable and talked just the right amount! I would definitely book another tour with this company.
