The food tour was phenomenal. We found a couple of spots that we ultimately went back out of the sheer quality of the food. Our guide Alberto was beyond delightful, truly felt like a friend was taking you all over the city. (Btw, I hate Raúl)
Pablo was a wealth of information. Don’t let the walking part of the tour scare you, it’s really not that much walking. Enjoyed the 5 stops with tastes of PR.
The Old San Juan Eating Tour was excellent. The tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The food was good. The setting in Old San Juan was brilliant.
The food was delicious and filling. The tour guide, Alberto, was very knowledgeable on both the food and San Juan history. The pace was slow and I feel we hit the highlights of Old San Juan. We would never had found these restaurants or food choices on our own. I definitely recommend this tour.
Nahiomy is a fabulous and knowledgeable tour guide. We learned so much about San Juan and Puerto Rico. We enjoyed a sunset view, amazing cocktails and visiting bars that we wouldn’t have found on our own. We highly recommend touring with Nahiomy! 1000 stars 🤩!
Diego was an amazing, knowledgeable guide. He took us to local spots that had amazing food and vibes. He made the tour a personal experience and got to know all of us well. He shared historical facts which were balanced with some good jokes! Overall, I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a good time and authentic Puerto Rican experience.
We had less time at San Juan than the other ports from our cruise, but this one by far was the best one, a lot of it having to do with this particular tour. Our guides, Danny and Diego (D&D), were absolutely amazing! The landscapes are beautiful, and each food stop is top tier. You may not even find these gems without knowing the area or going on this tour. My only warning is for those with mobility or other medical issues. It's all walking with hills and uneven walkways, which can be a bit strenuous for those with difficulty walking, asthma, etc. The first stop was a little café where we tried a Puerto Rican take on a ham and cheese croissant with a delicious jam in the center. Followed by a beautiful shot of espresso and cream. This was a great place to start off the tour because it definitely piqued my taste buds. The second stop was actually the historical aspect where we sat in a little park that overlooked a nice view of the water and some land across the way. There, we were taken on a little trip into the past that led up to where Puerto Rico currently is now. Our guides were very knowledgeable and knew how to keep everyone's attention. Plus, being accommodating and making sure to attend to every person on the group. Their personal connections helped immensely in understanding a lot of the architecture, history, social and economic climates, and more. Something you may not get with another generic tour. The next food stop was at a very cozy restaurant where we made our very own mofongo. It was fun to do and tasted amazing! I was disappointed we couldn't take the leftovers back on the ship, but that wasn't on the tour group's fault. They even wished we could taste the mofongo on the 2nd day because the flavors melt into each other. To pair with the mofongo, we had a refreshing frozen piña colada. Apparently, there are two types, which I didn't know before going on the tour. Lastly, we headed back to the little park with the benches and wrapped up with a cooling passion fruit popsicle. It was a great way to end the tour and finish up a hot day in Puerto Rico. If you ever find yourself in Puerto Rico, these guides know where you can go for good food, refreshing drinks, and tasty desserts!
This tour is a MUST! When you are in Puerto Rico. We had Gwen as our guide and she was amazing. Loved her vibe and the love of her country in culture. When I go back to PR I’ll be booking this tour along with the other tours they have to offer! The food was TOP TIER. The coffee main cuisine and desserts. Chefs kiss.
This was easily our favorite food tour. It was extremely well organized. Our tour guide, Alberto was phenomenal from his amazing personality to his extensive knowledge of San Juan and Puerto Rico. The walking tour was just the right length, strolling through the beautiful streets of San Juan. The food was the best part - every stop was more delicious than the last. Highly recommend this tour, you will absolutely love it.
We booked a two hour walking tour of Old San Juan and it was one of the best experiences we’ve had! Pablo, our guide, was amazing and you can feel his passion for the rich history of the area. He was engaging, enthusiastic and it was a great time for us.
