Great learning experience about the Puerto Rican culture - We had the best time. Learned a lot about our culture from our instructor. My Daughter's sweet 16 was the most memorable because of this class. Would definitely recommend. The only thing I would complain about is the floor, it was rocky and tree stumps on the ground that made it hard to dance around but the location was beautiful on the beach and the view was gorgeous.

Bomba on the Beach was Unbelievable!! - OMG!!!!! What an amazing experience my friends and I had with salsatoursPR! We did the Bomba Class. The colorful skirts were provided and Castelan played the Bomba right on the beach while the sun was setting….. it was an emotional cultural experience for me. Absolutely amazing. Looking forward to coming back over and over again until I’ve mastered it!

Operator no-showed, and Viator made the refund a hassle. 0 / 10, do not recommend. - Tour operator stood us up and never came to the scheduled event. No notice. No communication. Just never appeared at the email confirmee time and place. I met two other guests who were put out by being abandoned by the operator without notice. Then the first Viator customer service representative was intentionally difficult during chat. Had me restate information as if they didn't read or look at my previous messages. Took 20 minutes to respond to one of my messages..."Q: Exactly what time did you show up? A: 5 minutes early, as previously stated and documented by an attached pictuer)" (during which time I started driving home from the no-showed event)... The exacted "Exactly where did you show up?" When I didn't answer within 5 minutes (driving), the chat representative closed the chat due to my non-responsiveness. Yeah, Viator, I'm not respondibg immediately when you make we wait 20 minutes for a follow up message. 0 / 10 would not recommend.
