5.00Nari was an amazing tour guide and very thoughtful! This food tour is a must try when visiting San Juan! I don’t like coffee but Don Ruiz mixed with some sugar really tasted good! The Pina Colada was very good & strong @ Barrachina! All the different spots were cool and our tour guide was very knowledgeable!

5.00Absolutely loved the tour. The history was fun and the food and drinks were fantastic. I was expecting small portions like I’m used to on food tours, but that was not the case with this tour. Narai, my tour guide, was wonderful and so kind. Very knowledgeable and even stayed afterwards just to talk to us about random questions we had. Would highly recommend if you want a nice little history lesson along with some good food!
Just Right!

5.00Ann Elizabeth was excellent. The tour was well paced, small group, had delicious food (enough for breakfast and lunch), and included seeing part of Old San Juan. It met the needs of historical information, culture via food, and familiarization with the Old City. Ann answered questions well beyond a “ food tour” scope. Would highly recommend.
A beautiful time.
