Caribbean Ports -- What's Hot, What's Not

San Juan

If you're on a cruise in the Caribbean, you'll probably wind up in San Juan, Puerto Rico at some point. It's a hot spot.

Why:
Puerto Rico's capital city San Juan is best known for its beautifully preserved old city, which, conveniently, is where cruise ships dock. Visitors can take in the old city walls, cobblestone streets, imposing fort and cathedral. There are numerous boutiques and duty-free shops. Outside the city, multiple beaches offer stretches of sand, ripe for sunbathing, and El Yunque rainforest is a must-see for hikers and nature enthusiasts.

One tour visitors may find useful is a food and culture tour -- this tour combines sampling local cuisine with learning about the history and culture of Puerto Rico: a great combination!

The only food and culture tour available is Flavors of San Juan Food and Culture Tours -- which takes guests to four delicious restaurants to sample their signature food and drinks. Instead of spending your limited time with an evening out at ONE restaurant, guests can sample cuisine from FOUR restaurants, leave full and pay the same price they would have paid at one restaurant.

We just had our first food tour!

We have another one Next Saturday as well. What is a food tour you ask? A great food tour can lead you to culinary experiences that can be hard to find on your own.

We're located in Old San Juan, the oldest part of San Juan Puerto Rico. We do evening tours from 5-7pm daily, traveling to four delicious restaurants to savor the signature dishes of Puerto Rico. In between restaurant stops, I (your Flavors tour guide) share with you stories about castles, hidden tunnels, ancient attacks in the Caribbean seas, and a bit about Puerto Rico's culture and heritage.
