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.

Perfect day trip! - I originally booked the Pa la Isla Southwest tour but due to some schedule changes, ended up taking the Full Day Ponce, Yauco, Caracoles Cay & La Parguera Bio Bay Tour instead (an upgrade, score!) Laura is incredibly knowledgeable about Puerto Rican history and culture, and made sure to point out different towns and facts during the hour-long drive to Ponce. Once in Ponce, we had some time on our own to explore the main square and grab some coffee/ice cream before heading to the Cay. We made a few pit stops along the way for pictures in beautiful towns like Yauco and then picked up dinner for the boat. Caracoles Cay had beautiful crystal clear water and was a great way to see the sunset before heading into the bioluminescent bay. The conditions were great, so the water really lit up and we got some great photos! Highly recommend Sofrito Tours, the experience was phenomenal!!

Very disappointed - I like to post reviews when a tour has far exceeded my expectations, however, for this tour I feel compelled to express my abject disappointment. I was defrauded about what to expect on the trip. My family and I went on the trip but only one activity was as advertised. All others were shortened considerably or did not occur at all. If anyone at Sofrito tours sees this review I would appreciate someone contacting me. After several calls, emails, and text messages no one has responded.
