Start your trip with this food tour! - This food tour was such a great experience! Our guide Zu was extremely knowledgeable about the history of San Juan and PR. The way the history tied into the food was "chef's kiss" perftect. Our group was about 8 or 9 people and made up of a mix of couples and families. So it was easy to move from one place to the next. The piraqua during the middle and the mofongo at the end were standouts for me.

Great Overview of Old San Juan to start your visit - Great tour with lots of history and plentiful portions of local cuisine to taste. Get Zu as your guide as she was excellent and kept the pace while being attentive to the whole group.

Great walking and tasting tour in Old San Juan! - Great walking tour of Old San Juan with stops at several restaurants for tasting and cocktails. Our young tour guide, Gia, was very energetic and knowledgeable and I swear she probably knows every shop and restaurant owner in San Juan! The food and cocktails were excellent and the history that Gia shared gave context to what we were seeing and tasting. Highly recommended this tour!

Amazing Walking Food Tour - Run, don’t walk to sign up for this morning walking tour. Call first and make sure to ask for Elliot. He proudly shares the Puerto Rican culture and history along with personal stories - you won’t want your time to end. Each place along the tour was ready for us and made us feel like VIPs instead of just tourists. Elliot was respectful of each place and the staff, it was obvious they enjoy working with him. There was the perfect portion of food at each stop with a beverage and enough walking between each stop that you never feel stuffed, but you are satisfied. I have a coconut allergy and one person did not drink alcohol, and each place accommodated those needs effortlessly. I highly recommend this tour. Wear comfortable shoes and ensure your phone is charged, there a lots of local scenery you’ll want to take pictures of. Water and restaurants are available at every stop.
