## Why each made the list

- **Private Puerto Rican Cooking Class in San Juan for Groups** — A private class in a home kitchen in a residential part of San Juan where a local host teaches four or five traditional dishes and then eats with you, drinks included, lunch or dinner. Groups can be large on request, vegetarian menus on notice, and cancellation needs a week's warning for a refund. 5 from 54 reviews at €129 per person.
- **Puerto Rican Cultural Experience: Street Food & Rum Tasting** — An hour built around artisan rums infused with tropical fruit: five tastings with the story of the island's rum and the infusion tradition, a plate of local fried street snacks with house sauce and water. It is family friendly, wheelchair accessible and you make your own way there. 4.98 from 59 reviews at €77 per person.
- **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. There is no pickup and no ride share out there, so you need a car. 5 from 36 reviews at €146 per person.
- **Modern Puerto Rican Cooking Class in a Historic San Germán Home** — A hands on class in the historic San Germán home of a chef trained in New York who came back to cook his island's food, ending with the meal and a carafe of sangria or beer, lunch or dinner. San Germán is on the far west of the island and there is no hotel pickup. 5 from 32 reviews at €111 per person.
- **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. Meet in the old town on your own, since pickup is not offered, and tell them about diets when booking. 4.91 from 260 reviews at €150 per person.
- **Caribbean Food Experience** — A small group cook and taste session in the coastal town of Piñones with a local chef: plantains, sofrito and adobo explained, traditional techniques shown, then a main dish, dessert and a piña colada for you. You can cook or just watch and eat; getting to Piñones is on you. 4.92 from 53 reviews at €79 per person.
- **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. Vegan, gluten free and some allergies cannot be catered for, and the cobbles rule out walking aids. 4.9 from 5183 reviews at €151 per person.
- **Savor the Sunset: Old San Juan Walking Food Tour** — A sunset food walk through Old San Juan with four to five stops and up to ten tastings, mofongo and ceviche among them, with alcoholic drinks included.

- **Old San Juan Tour by Golf Cart with Local Flavors** — Old San Juan by private golf cart for people who would rather not walk the hills, with a stop for a piña colada and an alcapurria, soft drinks and water on board. Infant seats can be arranged, and it suits cruise passengers and anyone with mobility concerns. 4.85 from 128 reviews at €119 per person.
- **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. Vegans, gluten free and dairy free diets are not catered for. 4.7 from 57 reviews at €97 per person.
- **Old San Juan Food Tour with 7 Tastings of Authentic Local Flavors** — Seven set tastings that read like a history of the island: a cortado with a sugared mallorca, pork pasteles in banana leaf, an empanadilla, chocolate and a mofongo with chicken, on a walk through the old town. The menu shifts with what is open, pickup is not included, and a private upgrade exists. 4.73 from 181 reviews at €124 per person.
