Pablo is awesome! He was personable, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond with everything that he did. The food was amazing, but the history and the way he told it is what made the tour! We loved everything about it!

First I want to say that our tour guide was wonderful. She did a great job of giving us some history of Puerto Rico and of taking us to some great places to eat. They gave us a good amount of food and it was all delicious. We also got some drinks. The best drink of them all was the chocotini at chocobar Cortez. The price for this tour was worth it and I would definitely do this tour again when I come back.
