Fantastic drinks with Charming and Knowledgeable Tour Guide! - This tour was incredible! All of the locations picked for us were interesting with something special to offer - either the best mojito on the island, a historical property that was the previous home of a "nationalista", or a killer spot that doubled as a store selling only items made by Puerto Ricans on the island. Our tour guide Pablo was incredibly affable and - as a student studying Carribbean nations and cultures - passionate and knowledgable. He was able to add a broad depth of color to the facts and stories he shared, and answered any and all questions with ease. This tour was our first activity upon arriving in Old San Juan, and we could not recommend it more!

Rum & PR history - The drinks were amazing and the history that Alberto told us was an added bonus. Loved the interaction with the bartenders & to hear their passion for the city. Alberto was more than gracious giving us suggestions of places to visit and eat with the best form of transportation (taking the ferry - never would have thought of that!).

Amazing experience with a great guide - Our guide Naomi(spelling incorrect), was amazing. Fantastic knowledge and amazing selection of venues. We live in PR and we like to do tour stuff every now and then and she exposed us to amazing places we never knew about. This isn’t your standard blah pina colada tour. The entire experience was amazing.

Great Intro to Puerto Rican Culture, Cocktails & Life - We did the Cocktail Tour in Old San Juan and had a great time with Marjori (I think that is the right name)! She did a great job herding the group of 10 and keeping a crowd of diverse ages and interests engaged. The tour was at a good pace, gave us lots of historical info and (of course) delicious and surprising cocktails (you are not going to the get usuals!). We especially enjoyed watching Fausto make a mojito at Carli's restaurant and trying drinks I never heard of.
