Guidekin's take

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, and the cobbles rule out walking aids. 4.9 from 5,196 reviews at €154 per person.

Best for: Classic OSJ Tour: coffee, chocolate, street food, mofongo, a rum cocktail at €154 per person for 3h; no vegan or gluten free. 4.9 from 5,196 reviews. Food & Cooking Tours comparison
