A must do in Puerto Rico - What a great experience. Our guide Niko was engaged, knowledgeable, and entertaining. We enjoyed great food and beverages. The local food tour encapsulated within the history of old San Juan was a true experience. I highly recommend this for anyone visiting Puerto Rico.

Amazing Walking Food Tour - Run, don’t walk to sign up for this morning walking tour. Call first and make sure to ask for Elliot. He proudly shares the Puerto Rican culture and history along with personal stories - you won’t want your time to end. Each place along the tour was ready for us and made us feel like VIPs instead of just tourists. Elliot was respectful of each place and the staff, it was obvious they enjoy working with him. There was the perfect portion of food at each stop with a beverage and enough walking between each stop that you never feel stuffed, but you are satisfied. I have a coconut allergy and one person did not drink alcohol, and each place accommodated those needs effortlessly. I highly recommend this tour. Wear comfortable shoes and ensure your phone is charged, there a lots of local scenery you’ll want to take pictures of. Water and restaurants are available at every stop.
