My family had an amazing time on this food tour. I try to do a food tour every chance I get when traveling and this was by far the best one. This was entirely because of our guide Pablo. His passion for Puerto Rican cuisine and knowledge of its history and cultural was astounding. And, of course, the places he took us were exceptional. I’ll be back to PR with some friends and will do it again.

Guides Diego and other team members were really friendly and made our entire trip really pleasant and memorable. It was worth it

Note was friendly, knowledgeable about the island and was an all-around excellent tour guide. Highly recommend his company!

Antonio was fantastic!! Super knowledgeable and patient.
