What people are saying about San Juan, Puerto Rico

This was such a beautiful experience! I was worried about going when the moon was brighter but they covered us with a large tarp so we could still see all the bioluminescence in the water. Fair warning if you’re extremely claustrophobic, you may want to only go on the darkest nights sans tarp. Also, be aware it’s quite a long kayak journey to the bay so come with lots of energy and coordination. All worth it though!

My family had an amazing time on this food tour. I try to do a food tour every chance I get when traveling and this was by far the best one. This was entirely because of our guide Pablo. His passion for Puerto Rican cuisine and knowledge of its history and cultural was astounding. And, of course, the places he took us were exceptional. I’ll be back to PR with some friends and will do it again.

Emely was a great foodie and tour guide in Old San Juan. She took the time to explain everything that we were eating as well as blending in the history of San Juan and Puerto Rico. I would highly recommend this tour.
