The food was delicious, and Lorna was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about everything she told us.
Great Experience with the Tour guide. Explained a lot of the history and culture of Puerto Rico, and the food was amazing.
Overall a nice time. Started raining in the end while eating a popcicle. A few food options. If you’re not a pork fan this isn’t for you.
Lorna was a friendly, fun, and extremely knowledgeable tour guide!!
Gia was an amazing tour guide. Her passion and love for her country made the food tour even more enjoyable. Some of the things we had were a watermelon margarita, pulled pork with rice and cilantro sauce, and a delicious coffee flan. It was a great time. Again, Gia was awesome. My boyfriend and I booked five different tours on this trip (ex: charco azul, el yunque) and this was by far our favorite and the best tour guide.
Incredible Tour!! Gia was our guide and she was delightful ! She had an incredible amount of knowledge being a native of PR. We had so many great food and drink options and we were SO FULL by the end! She was even kind enough to find me accommodations for being pescatarian at each location we visited. I loved walking through the streets of Old San Juan and learning about the culture and history, struggles and triumphs of the PuertoRicaños. Their rich and flavorful cuisine matches their rich and brave personalities !
Lorna was a great knowledgeable and engaged guide. Wonderful information on the history of San Juan and the Americas and of the history of food here. And all the food was delightful.
Lorna was an amazing tour guide. We had 4 delicious tastings and 3 tasty cocktails. We learned so much about Puerto Rico and Lornas love and passion shined through. PS When they say "come hungry" they mean it!
Gia, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable, entertaining and very engaging. The restaurants we visited were all local owned and more importantly, these were all places were you saw the locals sitting at the tables. The food was delicious and the drinks were even better - they were not shy about adding the alcohol. This was a great way to get acquainted with the city while enjoying local food and drinks.
Had a lovely time with our guide Ellliot, who was superb at smoothly handling our mixed group around the city to many great bites of food while also sprinkling in lots of knowledge about Puerto Rico along the way. He was able to easily accommodate our request for non alcoholic drinks at each stop that made us feel like we didn’t miss out on any of the experience. Also his passion for the local coffee was contagious! We’re now full converts to how great it is and will be bringing some home thanks to his suggestions on the best places to enjoy and purchase it. Thanks Elliot!
