Narai was a fantastic guide, weaving food and San Juan’s history together during our time together. She was very energetic , accommodating, approachable and knowledgeable . The day started at the Don Ruiz coffee shop where we had Mallorca break, buttered and dusted with power sugar. We then stopped at Barrrachina for their famous pina colada! We then stopped at Juanes for the competitors pina colada, empanadas (phenomenal), and chicken mofongo. Senor Paleta’s did not disappoint with the popsicles which were smooth in texture and quite delicious. The Nutella gelato was fantastic. The tour culminated with a visit at Cortes Chocobar where we have delicious bon bons and hot chocolate. This was one of our favorite tours in the week we spent at San Juan and wish we had done it sooner so we would have time to revisit all the wonderful places Narai introduced to us. Highly recommended!
