5.00Had an AMAZING time on the Old San Juan morning tour! Lorna was the best guide EVER! We learned so much about the history of Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and we had delicious food and tastings at 5 different local family owned locations! Everything was so delicious and we got a good sampling of Puerto Rican cuisine. BOOK this tour or any tour with Spoon. You will have the time of your life! Arrive with empty stomachs because you will be full at the end 💕 I would definitely do a tour with them again. Thank you!!!

5.00This 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.
Top of your list for what to do in Puerto Rico.

5.00Great 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!
