Book asap!

I absolutely loved this experience! I would 100% come back. I came with my husband, mom, and 1 yr old. His personality was amazing and very welcoming. He also was very accommodating. He even gave us a ride close by to our stay. The food was delicious and it was so fun to make. Very clean and family friendly. He was very knowledgeable.

The tour guide,...

The tour guide, Alejandra, was wonderful!! There was also a bartender who did this impressive performance while making my mojito prior to the start of the tour. They both made this experience very unique. Definitely worth it!! The ferry from San Juan was a little tricky so just Uber there and back if you don’t feel like figuring that out.

The Maestro's Walk: A Rum Tasting Experience

Christie_H, Jun 2026

Highlight of our PR vacay

It was a fantastic way to spend the day! We were treated and upgraded to the Maestros Walk from our Mixology Class Tour. My hisband and I and three kids18, 19 and 20 all had a wonderful time relaxing and sipping on drinks in the pavilion, enjoyed our trolley ride of the grounds and warehouse and had a momentous time sampling the beautiful rums of Bacardí. We spent another hour or two after the tour hanging out in the Bat pavilion sipping on drinks and enjoying the beautiful day! Thank you for a fantastic time! An absolute highlight of our trip for sure!

Our favorite stop on a week long visit of Puerto Rico

Liela was a great host and her place is gorgeous. She took us through several Puerto Rican dishes; and shared the recipes with us. After lunch she took the time to share recommendations on spices, and told us about her favorite restaurants in Old San Juan (our next stop).

Taking a salsa class with Steve and Miguel in Puerto Rico was absolutely incredible! 🌴💃 The energy, the music, and their passion for dance made the experience unforgettable. They created such a fun and welcoming atmosphere — whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, they make everyone feel confident and comfortable on the dance floor. I left smiling, energized, and with new moves to show off! Definitely a must-do experience while in Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷✨
