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.

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.

5.00Ann was a fantastic host and the food tour along with her pointing out historical locations and providing insight as to other places to visit was really helpful. If going on the food tour, be prepared for a bit of walking and lots of great Puerto Rican culinary treats and experiences.

5.00Absolutely loved the tour. The history was fun and the food and drinks were fantastic. I was expecting small portions like I’m used to on food tours, but that was not the case with this tour. Narai, my tour guide, was wonderful and so kind. Very knowledgeable and even stayed afterwards just to talk to us about random questions we had. Would highly recommend if you want a nice little history lesson along with some good food!
Just Right!

5.00Ann Elizabeth was excellent. The tour was well paced, small group, had delicious food (enough for breakfast and lunch), and included seeing part of Old San Juan. It met the needs of historical information, culture via food, and familiarization with the Old City. Ann answered questions well beyond a “ food tour” scope. Would highly recommend.
A beautiful time.

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
