- **Private Authentic Puerto Rican Cooking Class with a Local Couple** — A private hands on class with a local couple at their countryside home about an hour from San Juan or Ponce, cooking family recipes and eating them with local wine or beer.

- **Morning Old San Juan Food Tour** — A morning walk through Old San Juan built around several tasting stops and two alcoholic drinks, with the history and architecture told between bites by a local guide.

- **Authentic Flavors of San Juan Food Tour** — A walk through Old San Juan built around a full meal: local coffee, chocolate, street food, mofongo and one rum cocktail, with the history of the streets in between.

- **Authentic San Juan Guided Walking Food Tour with Pina Colada** — Eight tastings through Old San Juan's family run spots that add up to breakfast and lunch: local coffee with a pastry, an empanadilla, a classic lunch plate and a bean to bar finish, plus a skip the line stop at the bar that claims the piña colada.
