Great laid back tour - We had a great time! Laura and Carlos were kind and accommodating. This was a small group tour so it was a laid back atmosphere. Laura provided interesting information while we were sightseeing and there was ample opportunity to enjoy the places we stopped to see.

Perfect tour to explore southwest - I can’t thank Laura and Carlos enough for this amazing day! Couldn’t have asked for anything better. They are super accommodating and take care of smallest of things. This is a perfect day trip for anyone. I travelled solo, but this felt like traveling with a bunch of friends. They made me feel super comfortable, very professional yet so personally involved. Don’t think twice, these guys will make sure you have a great time. 100% recommend.

Off the beaten path - This full day trip was amazing. Laura took us from San Juan to: Ponce with its Iguanas, fountains, street food, shopping, and history. Yauco with its street art, beautiful views, and Instagram ready city square. A secluded beach (Jaboncillo) that we had nearly all to ourselves. Salinas Cabo Roho salt flats. Boquerón for local color and Pride. Buyé beach where we watched the sun set and finally dinner on the water before finally bringing us back to San Juan. It was a whirlwind trip and worth every penny. She got us fresh local fruit from the farmers market that we snacked on all day and offered an insider’s view for an off the beaten path unique tour. Worth. It.

Very disappointed - I like to post reviews when a tour has far exceeded my expectations, however, for this tour I feel compelled to express my abject disappointment. I was defrauded about what to expect on the trip. My family and I went on the trip but only one activity was as advertised. All others were shortened considerably or did not occur at all. If anyone at Sofrito tours sees this review I would appreciate someone contacting me. After several calls, emails, and text messages no one has responded.
