This was a wonderful time on the Authentic Flavors of San Juan Food Tour! It was the perfect way to explore Old San Juan while enjoying delicious Puerto Rican food. My group nad I sampled local favorites like mofongo, rice and beans, Caribbean chocolate, Puerto Rican coffee, and a refreshing cocktail. The food was plentiful, so come hungry! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing interesting stories about Puerto Rico's history, culture, and the Spanish, African, and Indigenous influences on its cuisine. Walking through the colorful cobblestone streets and historic landmarks made the experience even more enjoyable. This tour was one of the best highlights of the trip.

Claudia was a wonderful host. She was friendly, informative, and funny - A real delight to spend the day with. We had a nice small group and we all got along well as we went from stop to stop. The foods we tried were delicious, the locations we visited welcoming, and we got to make our own mofongo which just added a bit extra to the experience. We were absolutely stuffed by the end, but still went back to the first stop to pick up some provisions for the next day. Would definitely recommend this tour.
What a joy to read your review! We're delighted that Claudia made the experience so much fun and that you enjoyed getting to know both your fellow guests and the local flavors along the way. From making your own mofongo to going back for more at your favorite stop, it sounds like the tour was filled with memorable moments. Thank you so much for your recommendation!

This tour was great! We toured with Danny, who told us about history, culture, politics, food, and drinks in Puerto Rico. We also asked him questions about hospitality and tourism on the island, and what rum people in San Juan prefer. He answered tons of questions from our group and made sure to set us up with additional recommendstions for dinner, activities and entertainment once our tour was done. He was able to accommodate and engage the kids in our group, and he made sure we stayed hydrated at each of our food stops. We had a blast making our own mofongo and walking around old San Juan.
It sounds like Danny gave you the full Puerto Rico experience! We're so glad you enjoyed learning about the island's history, culture, and food while also getting insider recommendations to make the most of the rest of your trip. It's wonderful to hear everyone, from the adults to the kids, felt included and had such a memorable time. Thanks for sharing your experience!

This foodie tour was the best! We had Pablo as our tour guide who is absolutely wonderful! He was so fun and had everyone hooked. All the places we ate were great and the people were even better. There was some walking involved but nothing too bad. Also, we really enjoyed the history lessons while we went along walking and eating. Puerto Rico is a place rich in culture! If you are coming to PR, this tour is a definite must!
What an incredible review! We're so happy to hear Pablo made the tour such a fun and engaging experience. It's wonderful to know you enjoyed the delicious local flavors, the fascinating history, and the rich culture that makes Puerto Rico so special.
