Bummed - no food tour available while we are in port.

So I really had my heart set on the flavors of San Juan food tour for our upcoming cruise in September but unfortunately they are not doing the am tour the day we are there. We are only in port from 7-2. I was wondering if it would be possible to do our own walking/food tour... Any suggestions??

We are there from 3-11 and will miss them too. We are looking for something fun to do as well & really want to have some yummy local food! Looking forward to what everyone suggests!

I thought their website listed 4-5 places where they stop. You can locate those on google and go in the approximate order they are listed. There are a number of walking tour maps and information out on line as well, so you can see what's coming up along the route you choose to connect the tasting stops. Granted this isn't a guided tour and you'll miss some of the interesting details a local guide can impart and perhaps miss an interaction with a proprietor of a stop or two. You might want to T.A. or Zagets or google search for some other nearby local places too in case there's something else you'd like to try, like Inaru's. But many of these places don't open unitl closer to noon or in the late afternoon. So you'll need to check times and watch your clock.

We did the Spoons Food Tour last November and really enjoyed it. Maybe they are available?

Do you remember what the tour included?? How many historical and food stops??

This is the tour we took - http://www.spoonfoodtours.com/tour/old-san-juan-walk-and-taste-tour/d

We met in a courtyard area by a statue or tower. From there we walked to a coffee shop that was inside a much larger building and learned about that area. We then walked and the guide talked/explained about what we were seeing the whole time. I remember entering a church and also visiting El Convento. At some point we had a delicious fresh pastry.

We finished in a restaurant where we sampled a number of different local dishes. I'm sorry I don't remember more details. I enjoyed listening to everything at the time, but it doesn't stick with me.

You might try tripadvisor for more/better reviews.

Check your date on Viator.com. The Flavors of San Juan runs the food tour through Viator and usually have 2 departure times. The morning departure is at 10am and gets you finished at 1:00, leaving you an hour to get to the boat. Where the tour ends, is less than a 5 minute walk. We just did this in March and it was FABULOUS!!!

I checked there and directly with your company and for whatever reason they don't offer the morning tour the day we are in port. I emailed directly - they said to keep checking back, they sometimes add tours. Fingers crossed!!
