The perfect walking tour
April 26, 2019
While the local fare is a nice part of this excursion, the best part was all the sights our tour guide took us to and the history and culture he shared with us. The group was good size but not so large it took away from the experience. There was only one part that was a little strenuous. All in all, I would recommend this tour to anyone interest in the local culture.

So much food
April 18, 2019
We really enjoyed our food tour. Our guide was able to share some of her personal favorites all while educating us on the city and the culture. It was a great experience for us and our kids. The food is amazing and our tour guide made sure to accommodate everyone in the groups dietary preferences. I would recommend that you go on this tour hungry because it is filling! This tour is also a great way to see the city by foot.

Our guide Carmen was energetic and very proud of her city. She provided interesting information while we ate wonderful foods. Our group was less than a dozen people. It was well worth the fee.

This excursion is totally worth the price. Carmen, our tour guide, was excellent. She accommodated and had everything ready for the group before we started the day. I would definitely do another food tour just because I had such a wonderful time on this one.

What a lovely way to see Old San Juan! Our guide Shannon was outgoing and full of enthusiasm. The food was amazing at every stop! We were cruising, and would never have gone to those places on our own. One of the best tours we have taken in some time. Everyone should try this tour!!

We had never done a Food Tour before and this was an incredible tour. Carmen was fantastic! She told us so much about the history of San Juan and gave us some pointers on where to have the Best Pina Colada! The food was absolutely delicious! This was so much fun and left us wanting to come back to San Juan in the future. What a beautiful place with such friendly people. Highly recommend!!!

This was a perfect addition to our time in San Juan. Being on a cruise, we had limited time to see/explore Old San Juan and this tour was a great way to try local food, as well as learn a lot about the history of the area.

Our guide was fantastic. She gave us facts about different areas as we walked from one restaurant to another. Loved trying the local foods. I must say the coffee was the best I have ever had. My husband was really impressed -- very smooth flavor with no bitter aftertaste. He bought several bags to bring home. You won't regret going on this tour.

Shannon was THE BEST!
July 10, 2017
We selected this food tour as an excursion for our college students' study abroad that they were on. Half of the students were culinary and half were hospitality and I can say that Shannon was a great example of a professional who prided herself on her culinary and hospitality knowledge. What a great, educational experience for our students. This was indeed the highlight of our entire trip! Thank you Shannon!

Pam, the tour guide was fantastic!! She arrived early to greet us, made everyone feel comfortable. Pam gave us history and highlights of several locations along on walking tour to food sites. Also received history of places we ate and met owners/managers. I was worried about too much food but it was perfect and so amazing. As a bonus, businesses that sold additional items gave our group a discount, loved that too!! Highly recommend, especially if Pam is the guide!!!!!

This was awesome. We met a local historian/food aficionado and walked around old town for three hours while we ate at wonderful places and heard the history of the island. We ate at four or five different places, including getting make our own mofongo as our main course. My boys 14 and 13 loved this as well. We will look to do this again everytime we travel now..

This was our first food tour and I think we will book a food tour anywhere we visit from now on. Our tour guide was educated on the history of the area and provided tidbits of it as we walked. We never walked too far before we got to our next food stop. The food and snacks were all wonderfully selected, loved it all, and were full by end of the tour. Would say this tour is a must. I have to add that our flight out that night got cancelled so we went back to one of the restaurants in the tour to enjoy a full meal and weren't disappointed.

I wasn't sure how this tour would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised. Our tour guide, Juan, did a great job balancing walking/history and breaks for food, especially since it was incredibly hot outside. He was very knowledgeable. What's more, he didn't make anyone feel pressured to give a tip, as some tour guides do.

Our guide was excellent. The tour was well executed and very entertaining. I enjoyed the history of the island that she shared during our walk. My only disappointment was that each food specialty wasn't accompanied with a recipe to take home or at least a paper mentioning the name of each item served so I could research it and perhaps try to duplicate it at home. Our guide said she'd email me the recipe for the main course we had but to date, I've received nothing. Thankyou for a well organized tour of your beautiful island, I loved being there.

April 23, 2016
We were in San Juan for only 2 days before our cruise. I wish we had taken the tour the first day as I would have loved to have gone back to several of the places we visited. It gives you a great layout of old San Juan along with the history of the city and the food. The guide was a local who knew exactly how to balance enjoying the moment and moving along to the next location. Our group ranged from an 8 year old to seniors. Local history and food are two of my favorite things and this tour hit them both. My husband hates guided tours but even he was impressed. No ""traveling with the herd"" feeling on this tour. It felt more like having a friend in town that was showing you the sights and feeding you lunch. We started hungry as we had heard it was filling and were glad we did. Do this tour. You won't regret it.
