What a great way to see Puerto Rico, especially to parts I’ve never seen. Or guide, Laura was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable with the city’s history and gave us back stories of many places I had seen before but was not awareness of the details. From downtown, to the art district and then Luisa, our trip was so much fun and full of food/drink samples along the way. It was the perfect way to see so much from a cruise port with limited time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I truly enjoyed the tour of Old San Juan and Loíza with Sofrito Tours. Laura made the experience feel like my own personal tour. Not only did we visit the mainstays, we also got to sample fruit & foods from islander-known hidden gems. We participated in Bomba class. It was everything I wanted from my first visit to this beautiful island - to be among its people.

Laura the owner was amazing! She didn’t rush the trip just to make it fit into a half day which is what was paid for. She was patient. She was very knowledgeable on the history that she shared with us. She made our day very worthwhile. I would definitely tour with her again the next time I visit.

Our tour guide Miguel was absolutely amazing. He is so smart and full of knowledge. He was an excellent driver as well. All the places we visited were beautiful and had so much history behind them. It really made us fall in love with San Juan and we can’t wait to visit again.
