Step into Old San Juan’s cobblestone streets and taste the island’s soul in every bite. On this guided Puerto Rico food tour, you’ll enjoy 8 tastings from family-run spots, enough for breakfast and lunch. Sip coffee brewed from locally grown beans with a traditional pastry, bite into a golden empanadilla, and skip the line at the birthplace of the piña colada. Try a classic Puerto Rican dish for lunch, enjoy a refreshing artisan popsicle or sorbet, and end with a bean-to-bar chocolate at a woman-owned shop. Along the way, you’ll hear the stories behind each dish, meet the people keeping these traditions alive, and see Old San Juan through the eyes of a local. This tour is the perfect shore excursion for cruise ship guests and conveniently meets just a 15-minute walk from the Old San Juan Cruise Port.

Cancelled last minute

2.00Unfortunately this was cancelled at the last minute due to an emergency on the guides part. Thankfully, they put the spots in the description so I was able to do the tour just walking around old San Juan. I wish there would have been more notice for the cancelation. I am supposed to get a full refund. I can’t say if I’d recommend as I didn’t get to go on the tour.
Ann was awesome rock star

5.00I ended up being the only guest on the tour this morning. It gave quite a bit of time for some side quest and deeper look into the old san juan area, inside a few buildings and the cathedral. Chocolatier was awesome! Guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and easy going, I definitely suggest booking!
Eat beforehand

3.00The food was delicious! The sites were beautiful. The guide was nice. Out of the 4 hour food tour though, all the food was in the last hour and not spread out throughout the tour. My spouse, kids and I were definitely hungry by the time the "food" part of the tour started after all the walking and not eating much beforehand. The guide was also very difficult to hear to no fault of her own though. It was just busy and crowded.
