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.

5.00We fell in love with food tours a few years ago in Little Havana. This tour was informative and enjoyable. Don't expect appetizer size servers. The restaurants are very generous!
Great Tour

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.
