Desi was an amazing tour guide. Loved the history she shared along with local recommendations and tips for our trip. We did the 9:30 tour and it was enough for breakfast and lunch and we walked away full. Enjoyed everything we got to try. Food and drinks were amazing. Would highly recommend while here in Puerto Rico.

This tour was excellent for learning about the history and culture of Puerto Rico, and the food and drinks were delicious! Our guide, Desi was very friendly and knowledgeable, and a delight to spend time with. Having taught about the history and culture of the Americas for over twenty years, I found the information shared to be accurate and enlightening!
