All SPOON Experiences

"What an incredible run program. The Spoon Experience helped us put together a food and walking tour fora bout 60 conference attendees. Everything was absolutely seamless - from first discussions to final results. We had such a fantastic time - all 4 of our tour guides were knowledgeable, welcoming and selected awesome places for us to try. This was not only a great bonding moment for our teams, but also a fantastic opportunity to see the highlights of Old San Juan after being in a hotel conference room for 8 hours. I would highly recommend any group - or really any person - to book one of their experiences. It was top notch.

"We used Spoon for an evening food tour of Old San Juan during our company retreat. They were a pleasure to work with, highly responsive, and very flexible for our various time and food restrictions. All of our employees had a wonderful time. Lorna was the absolute best guide we could ask for, keeping our group of 15 focused and providing an excellent mix of historical context and food descriptions. She is a joy! And best of all, the food is absolutely fantastic. A truly memorable and unique experience that was the highlight of our trip. Thank you Spoon and Lorna!"

"My company sponsored a 24 person group tour with Paulina and Gustavo this past weekend. The experience was excellent from the initial contact to the drop off at the hotel. Both are very knowledgeable about San Juan history and the history of food in the city. We sampled dishes at 3 different locations and all of them were unique and delicious. I would definitely recommend Spoon Food Tours."

"We brought our group of 22 to Puerto Rico and Spoon helped us to make this trip truly special. We blended history with cuisine and learned about the culture and heart of Puerto Rico while supporting small businesses. Nothing but rave reviews for our guides Gia and Lorna. I highly recommend this tour."

“I called 3 companies while planning a trip [to San Juan] a few months ago. Spoon Food Tours was the most professional on the phone (returned phone calls, emails promptly) and so I decided to go with them. I'm so happy that we did! Paulina did a beautiful job helping me decide which tour to choose…She also arranged transportation to and from our hotel in Condado beach. The booking process was seamless and fairly priced as well. Pablo, our tour guide, was one of the best guides I have ever encountered in my many travels world wide. He was SO passionate about his work. Thank you Spoon Food Tours for being the most professional company we dealt with during our retreat. I will bring another group to you next year!"

"I had the opportunity today to take a Spoon Food Tour led by Caroline. She was simply amazing with her knowledge of the local history and food… These tours shine a light on local restaurants that are trying to use ALL local ingredients. So not only was the food amazing, I felt like I was supporting the locally sourced food scene. I can't begin to say how much I learned about the local culinary delights.I am hoping to bring a large conference to Puerto Rico and plan to make this a recommendation for our attendees. It was truly amazing!"

"I was nervous about going solo, but the group was so friendly and welcoming. I made new friends within minutes."

"I was a little skeptical about the price at first, but it was worth every penny. The amount of food and quality were outstanding."

"I wasn’t sure if the walking would be too much in the heat, but it was easy and comfortable. The guide kept us shaded and hydrated, and the food made it all worth it."

"This was the perfect activity for our family — even our picky eater loved it. The guide kept things fun for both adults and kids, and we learned a lot too."

"I was worried about whether they could accommodate my gluten allergy, but they handled it flawlessly. I enjoyed every stop without any stress."

"I thought I'd already eaten at the best spots in San Juan, but this tour blew me away. Every stop was better than the last."

"I wasn't sure a food tour would be worth it, but this ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. I would absolutely do it again."

"This tour gave us access to places we never would have found on our own. Every stop felt intentional — the food, the stories, the pacing — everything just flowed."

"We took this tour with our teenage kids and everyone was engaged the whole time. It’s hard to please a group with different tastes, but this totally worked."

"I thought it would be mostly touristy spots, but it was actually hidden gems that locals love. The food was authentic, and the stories made it unforgettable."

"As someone who lived in Puerto Rico for years, I didn’t expect to learn much — but I learned so many new things and loved the food. Highly recommend even for locals!"

The very best food tour in Old San Juan!

This tour was amazing from beginning to end! Our guide, Rocío, was knowledgeable, fun and passionate about sharing her experience as a local "sanjuanera", making our walk meaningful in multiple ways. Each of the stops comes with either something delicious to nibble on or some interesting fact about the city, making it a rich experience without pretending to be a history lesson; more like a light and fun way of learning highlights of Puerto Rican food and culture while taking in the views and tasting fabulous food. Thank you, Rocío!

History of Food and Old San Juan

"This trip was booked on a whim and quickly became a jewel of the island. Our guide Pablo was very excellent and knowledgeable about the history of Old San Juan and the history of the food. I can not express enough how much I enjoyed this experience and the pleasant company he provided. On this trip you will learn everything from how the fort was defended to the many uses of plantains at different stages of ripeness. It was extremely fun and makes me savor the food for what will be many years to come. Highly recommend this trip."

"My family and I just finished a tour with Pablo and IT WAS AMAZING!!!! You get to see the town of Old San Juan, get the history, as well as get to taste your way through the city!! Pablo is very knowledgeable and you can tell he loves what he does. I also love that this company only works with local places. When I visit a place I always want to support the local community and this tour does that!!! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that wants to see beautiful Old San Juan!!! Thanks Pablo for an amazing tour!! We had amazing time and very good food!!!"

A MUST do if in San Juan

If you’re not a “tour” person this will change your mind! We took the sunset food and drink tour. Our guide was Pablo. He was one of the most engaging and entertaining history teachers I’ve ever had. His knowledge base is incredible. BUT as important... the food was exceptional!!! I highly recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your trip. It will give you a great base of information and ideas for other outings. I really can’t say enough good things about the food or the guide!

Don't miss Spoon's Cocktail Tour!

"At each stop, we had a delicious hand crafted cocktail, each unique to the bar/restaurant, and our night ended at a local craft beer pub, where we were offered several samples. Pablo, our guide, was amazing! He told us the story behind each location we visited, and some history of Old San Juan, as we walked the streets between stops. We did several tours with Spoon during our stay in San Juan, and I cannot say enough about the company. I'd definitely recommend this tour go on your must do list, while in San Juan!"
