Absolutely loved the tour. The history was fun and the food and drinks were fantastic. I was expecting small portions like I’m used to on food tours, but that was not the case with this tour. Narai, my tour guide, was wonderful and so kind. Very knowledgeable and even stayed afterwards just to talk to us about random questions we had. Would highly recommend if you want a nice little history lesson along with some good food!

Ann Elizabeth was excellent. The tour was well paced, small group, had delicious food (enough for breakfast and lunch), and included seeing part of Old San Juan. It met the needs of historical information, culture via food, and familiarization with the Old City. Ann answered questions well beyond a “ food tour” scope. Would highly recommend.

Know Before You Book
Is this Puerto Rico food tour recommended for cruise ship guests?
Absolutely! Our Puerto Rico food tour was designed with cruise ship guests in mind. It's ideal for cruises arriving at 8am or earlier, allowing you time to enjoy a leisurely morning before meeting your local guide at a convenient plaza just a 15-minute walk from the Old San Juan Cruise Port. Our Puerto Rico food tour combines convenience and cultural immersion for a memorable shore excursion.
Is this the best food tour in San Juan?
We think so! On this San Juan food tour, you’ll experience the local flavors and traditions that define San Juan’s food scene.
Can I join if I’m vegetarian?
Yes! We’ve got vegetarian options at every stop, from the empanadilla to the mofongo. Just let us know in the “dietary restrictions notes” when making your booking, and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of on this food tour in Puerto Rico.
How big is the group?
We cap our Paris pastry tour at around 10 guests, so it stays intimate, interactive, and easy to navigate—even in the coziest shops.
How much walking is involved?
The tour includes walking at a moderate pace up hills and uneven streets. We recommend guests wear comfortable shoes. Between stops, you'll explore the charming streets of Old San Juan, however you will be on your feet most of the time as there are not benches on the sidewalks to sit.
Do I need to book in advance?
We recommend booking in advance, especially during peak travel seasons. Our small group sizes fill up quickly, so securing your spot ahead of time guarantees you won't miss out on this unforgettable San Juan food tour.
How much food is included? Will I be full at the end?

Can I join as a solo traveler?
Of course! Many of our guests come solo, and they often leave having made new friends. Our small group food tours in Puerto Rico foster a relaxed and friendly environment.
Is this tour suitable for kids and families?
Yes, this tour (and Puerto Rico in general) is family-friendly! You’ll see multi-generational families enjoying time together and there are always young kids playing. With delicious food and plenty of fun moments, our food tour is a great way for families to explore the flavors of Old San Juan together.
What currency is used in Puerto Rico?
Puerto Rico uses the U.S. Dollar (USD), just like the mainland United States. You won’t need to worry about exchanging money when you visit.
Do I need a passport to get to Puerto Rico from the US?
No, if you're traveling from the U.S., you do not need a passport to visit Puerto Rico. As a U.S. territory, Puerto Rico is a domestic destination, so you can travel there just like any other U.S. state.
Is English widely spoken in Puerto Rico?
Yes, especially in the metropolitan area around San Juan. However it's not uncommon to come across people of any age, who are uncomfortable or not confident in English. It's good practice to great people first in Spanish (Hola, Buenos Días/Tardes).
