Top San Juan Food Tours

The tour started on time. David arrived right on schedule at the meeting point, introduced himself immediately, and offered us water. Throughout the walk it was clear that he knows the subject well and genuinely enjoys what he does. The route is demanding: you should be ready to walk for about 1 hour 30 to 1 hour 40 minutes. If you are going with someone who cannot handle a long walk, think it through first. A very good tour. I recommend it.

Our tour guide, Alex was very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing information about the entire Island including the rain forest. His pleasant, patient demeanor allowed for many questions and valuable discussion throughout the day. This tour is amazing! I was able to see quite a bit of the Island. Taste delicious fruit and authentic food. Highly recommend it. I left my group and toured solo on this tour. It was awesome!

The Savor the Sunset: Old San Juan Walking Food Tour was one of the most interesting and enjoyable food tours we have ever experienced. Our Guide, Gia was very knowledgeable, totally engaging, and ready with answers to questions and suggestions to enhance our enjoyment during our stay on Puerto Rico. The tour started with island history that woven through it was the origin of the Puerto Rican food culture of today. We started in the historic Hotel El Convento, with Cod fritters and mojitos - both definitely a delicious start to the tour. We had time to savor the offering and were treated to an extensive and interesting history of rum and it's relationship with Puerto Rican life and culture. Moving on we stopped at Dos Lobos for some of the best empanadas I have ever experienced. They were accompanied by a tasty rum and gauva drink that was a perfect compliment to the baked empanads. Next stop was eaverdura where we enjoyed a shredded seasoned beef steak with garlic and onion, accompanied by rice and beans. A simple but delicious paring which was accompanied by a light cocktail prepared by Gia. Next we walked for a while, taking in the sights and getting a ground level view base on personal experience of some of the best bars and restaurants of old San Juan. We we treated a the histoty of the 500th anniversary plaza. Gia gave us the historic significance of the plaza and it's link to the food culture of Puerto Rico as well as insights that a casual observation would not have noticed. We past by a view of Castillo San Felipe del Morro on our way to a wonderful resturant in the Cuartel de Ballaja in Old San Juan whose nane I sadly did not record. We were treated to a delicious yuca mofongo. This was a perfect topping for the main course of the tour. Our final stop, also in the Cuartel de Ballaja, was Divinissimo Gelato where we enjoyed a Gelato. The choices included regular gelato and alcohol infused including wine and spirits based choices. This was the perfect end to an evening of wonderful food, drink, and cultural enlightenment. We cannot recommend this strongly enough to anyone who might be considering a food tour in Puerto Rico.
