Rafael was highly knowledgeable and a true expert! He was even teaching other tour guides on the trail. Very professional and a true bespoke experience. I would not have done this on my own, or even with a group with more than 6 people. We had some beginners in our group and having Rafael in the group gave them confidence in traversing some of the more difficult terrain.

Great walking tour and lots of historical info by our guide. Tour meets at El Convento hotel. Walked to the fort and all through it - lots of stairs! And then through the town of the city. Since I came to tour directly from the airport, I was able to leave my bags there while on the tour. Paid a nice tip. Guide even gave us water and drove us wherever we needed to be after!!! He got a nice tip too. Ended up walking 20,000 steps this day so be prepared. Very nice and worth the $.

Clue Murder Mystery is far from your average history tour. Have you ever played the game clue? What about an escape room? Well, imagine each of these combined into a self-guided investigation that leads you around Old San Juan! During your investigation, you will be walking to 8-10 spots that are tourist favorites, local hotspots, history, scenery, or just somewhere we think boasts the uniqueness of Old San Juan. Guess what else?! You have the freedom to grab a drink, stop and shop, or do whatever your heart desires along the way. We want you to explore the downtown area near the cruise port as you please! Clue Murder Mystery is also a great team-building activity because of the way it requires multiple mindsets to solve the clues. You must work together if you want to be the fastest team to solve the murder mystery.

This is my second review for spoon tours and it did not disappoint. I did the off the beaten path drive around tour with a well appointed bus that picked us up and brought us to each destination. The best part about spoon food tours are their passionate guides-Gabriel knows his stuff! We explored the Loiza/Pinones/Santurce areas. Chock full of history and food culture. The tour ended with a sweet treat from Doube Cakes. Can’t beat that!

Hike with me on a real forest trail, cut and made by yours truly. This is tour is NOT in the rainforest. This trail, in the center of Puerto Rico that takes you to a breathtaking 130 foot waterfall. This perhaps may be the ONLY tour that you get it all. This 8 hour, small group hiking Adventure will take you to see the mountains, the country side of the island, the culture, eat the local food, be with and among the locals, swimming in waterfalls, hiking in the forest etc... During our hike to this breathtaking waterfall, there are natural swimming pools to jump in to and refresh. We will end our day of Fun and Adventure at a local restaurant to enjoy the local cuisine (at your own expense).

My boyfriend has NEVER swam in any large body of water, and through the encouragement and support of Jerry he JUMPED off a 10ft cliff. !! Great hike... so much to explore... went to a local restaurant after. Jerry is passionate about Puerto Rico and he definitely shares the love by taking people on his tour to local restaurants to patron. Very knowledgeable about Puerto Rican history, landmarks, and anything else you maybe curious to know!! He was funnyyyy, friendly, organized, & informative. This was an amazing way to spend the day!!! Jerry porvida!!!!

Find out why Puerto Rico is the Rum Capital of the world. Join us for a night of fun history on our 2 hour rum and craft cocktail experience strolling through the streets of Old San Juan. We’ll lead you through a crash course of the drinking history and culture of Puerto Rico as we sip on 2 creative rum-infused cocktails + hefty tastes of small-batch artisan Caribbean rum. The tour includes visiting two Old San Juan bars and an owner-led factory tour at Scryer's Rum where you'll sample small-batch rum that has been barrel-finished in Port and Sherry wine casks for further aging. The amount of rum consumed is 1.5 ounces, the same as would be found in a cocktail. The group is kept small for intimacy and Covid 19 safety. By the end of the evening you’ll know all the best bars in town, and will finish with plenty of time and insider information to continue the fun with a night on the town. Salud!
