Guidekin's take

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 262 reviews at €153 per person.

In our comparison: #6 of 11 in Food & Cooking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
