From the guide

Step into Old San Juan’s cobblestone streets and taste the island’s soul in every bite. On this guided Puerto Rico food tour, you’ll enjoy 8 tastings from family-run spots, enough for breakfast and lunch. Sip coffee brewed from locally grown beans with a traditional pastry, bite into a golden empanadilla, and skip the line at the birthplace of the piña colada. Try a classic Puerto Rican dish for lunch, enjoy a refreshing artisan popsicle or sorbet, and end with a bean-to-bar chocolate at a woman-owned shop. Along the way, you’ll hear the stories behind each dish, meet the people keeping these traditions alive, and see Old San Juan through the eyes of a local. This tour is the perfect shore excursion for cruise ship guests and conveniently meets just a 15-minute walk from the Old San Juan Cruise Port.
