A great way to begin your vacation in Puerto Rico, Friday, 17 June 2011

This is by far the best way to learn about the food and culture of Puerto Rico. I took the Flavors tour last month and not only did I learn about the history of the city but ate some of the best local Puerto Rican food. The history bit is very entertaining and I'm sure you will learn things that you would have never expected. The tour guide, who was very knowledgeable and extremely sweet, took us on a pleasant walk through the city which was not at all strenuous. Each of the 4 restaurants we visited were unique and very charming. Even though I did not sign up for a private tour, I felt like a VIP since all the food comes out right away. There is no waiting. How amazing! And I was stuffed way before dessert after trying delicious tostones, a yummy root vegetable soup, and chicken mofongo among several other dishes. The tour guide also recommended other things to do in Puerto Rico which was very helpful. Don't miss this fantastic tour.

Flavors of San Juan's food and culture tour is a FUN and unique way to get an overview of Old San Juan, while sampling Puerto Rican cuisine and getting a sense of what the old city has to offer visitors and locals alike.

A walking tour of the city's old cobblestoned streets is one of the best ways to take in the colonial architecture and centuries-old culture and history, and the "Flavors" tour guides are knowledgeable and helpful. You can tell they have a passion for the city and for history. Despite the fact that "Flavors" owner and founder Leslie Padro isn't a native of PR, after living here for several years, she's as knowledgeable as the locals, and will steer you clear of tourist traps and experiences that aren't worth your time.

The various stops at local restaurants along the way make the 2-hour tour enjoyable and keep things at a comfortable pace.

The food on the tour is yummy, and it's a great opportunity to get to know both popular restaurants in OSJ, as well as a few that are known to locals and cater to a more casual crowd.

We recommend taking this unique tour at the start of your trip to Puerto Rico, since it helps you get a feel for OSJ, and will give you great ideas of other places you'd like to visit later on during your stay! Overall, a great experience and lots of fun for small and large groups.

Not so Good!!!!, Wednesday, 04 May 2011

We were in San Juan last March. After reading some good reviews, we decided to give this one a try. HUGE dissapointment. Not at all what they claim it is. I think maybe they started out good and went downhill. The convent someone refers to is great. We visited that after we went on this tour....this was the type of place we thought we were going to. But all we went to were little dives with awful food. We felt very deceived and ripped off. We went home and ordered room service. And just FYI, our tour was done by a young girl who had lived on the island 9 months. Don't waste your money!

Lots of food!, Sunday, 04 October 2009

For the price, this was a lot of food. The local Puerto Rican food was extremely tasty, and the dessert sampler platter at the last restaurant was huge. We visited 4 restaurants and I would definitely go back to them another time. Also got to taste a variety of drinks, like sangria (white or red wine, or champagne), and a mango smoothie, with rum. It's worth doing the tour.

We had a superb few hours; visited 4 restaurants and enjoyed a variety of local cuisine examples with an interesting historical/cultural walk through old San Juan. We learned much about the typical Puerto Rican cuisine and its influences, stuffed plantains, tapas, mojitos & piña coladas were highlights; though the desserts at the end was sinfully indulging. The operator was knowledgeable of local customs & cuisine as well as the rich history of old San Juan. We started on time and kept on schedule. If you have one or two evnings in old San Juan and not enough time to explore the restaurant scene there, this is tour is a must! Overall, this is a very well organized tour well worth your time. We had a super time. Many thanks!
