Should have listened to the reviews. The tour operator never showed. So definitely not worth the money

Gloryma was an incredible tour guide! The customized experience was amazing - she was flexible and responsive to changing needs (our tour group included a 5 year old and an 80 year old, so flexibility was key!) The cooking class was so much fun and the pork trail was a not to be missed experience. This was absolutely the highlight of our trip to PR and we look forward to booking another tour with Real PR Travel on our next trip!
Tasty and immersive experience

Sarah was a charming and knowledgeable guide. Enjoyed every step of this tour — from legendary roast pork to making our own fritters and mofongo on the beach.
Great tasting and culturally immersive day

Sarah was a charming, gracious and knowledgable guide. The tour included discoveries (the lechoneras and tropical fruit market) and experiences (cooking delicious fritters and pounding mofongo) we wouldn’t have easily found on our own. A fun and informative outing.
Unprofessional- cancellation without advanced notice

We booked our tour for 12/31/23, which showed to meet at 1030am Caribe Hotel. It was our first time in Puerto Rico so we were excited to maximize our time and thought that this would be a fun experience. Unfortunately, we wasted our morning waiting for an activity that never happened. There was no communication from this company regarding reason for cancellation, no answer from the phone calls or voicemail we left, and Viator was also unable to reach this company, Real PR Travel. The lack of advance notification and explanation was very unprofessional as we could’ve done something more while we were on vacation. It’s not courteous or respectful to receive an email stating a refund for this event just an hour prior to the activity.
Great local flavors

Sarah was a wonderful guide: very knowledgeable, accommodating and easy-going. Very friendly! The tour itself was a good exploration of local foods. The pork dish was excellent-worth the long drive. The market stop was a bit of a bust. The market itself was underwhelming and would recommend skipping this for just a piece of passion fruit. The last stop was a side-of-the road kind of place and the food was great. The rum tasting was a nice touch but they literally just brought them out of the car. Thought that part would be a little more formal. Overall, if you want to see some local spots and eat great food, this is a fun tour. Not much walking so good for older folks.
Horrible lost 2 days of my vacation will not recommend this site worst sight ever liars! Irresponsible!

The tour never happened the driver never showed up , we waited for 2 hours! No pick ,No call nothing I called the company all they said was we will refund your money 3-7 business day, as well be careful if the tour company is Real PR stays they don't answer the phone or show up to pick you or call to cancel, my advice you're better off taking an Uber to the destination of choice so much cheaper which is what we ended up having to so .Worst experience ever..!!!
Not worth the expense

Leroy was a fantastic guide and quite knowledgeable but the overall logistics were not great. A good but of time was spent just driving. The food was great. This was our most expensive excursion with our group and the least favorite- if it didn’t cost so much, maybe it wouldn’t have felt like a disappointment.
