Don't miss this tour!! #sofritotours

Published on Sep, 2024

I typically do a city tour when i visit a place I've never been before, and this tour has been one of my all time favorites. First of all, Laura, our guide is not just a local, she's also an Historian. She was able to give us all the real history and stories about the places we visited. Laura took us to Loiza, an important part of San Juan's history, which is missed by most of the tours. While we were there, we stopped and had lunch at an authentic roadside beach restaurant! The food was delicious and I loved eating with the local residents. We also went to a local indoor market where we got fresh veggies and souvenirs, a coffee shop for a cool drink as we rode around the city, and one of Loiza's beautiful beaches. Laura was very patient as we wanted to stop often for pictures of their BEAUTIFUL country. Oh, and the beautiful (have I mentioned San Juan is beautiful? Lol) historic church. I highly recommend this tour and can't thank Laura enough! I will definitely be back to San Juan and take the tour again. I know there are many more gems she will share with us! #sofritotours

Food, fun & history!

Published on Apr, 2024

What a great way to see Puerto Rico, especially to parts I’ve never seen. Or guide, Laura was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable with the city’s history and gave us back stories of many places I had seen before but was not awareness of the details. From downtown, to the art district and then Luisa, our trip was so much fun and full of food/drink samples along the way. It was the perfect way to see so much from a cruise port with limited time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

High Recommendation for this Tour. You won't regret it.

I truly enjoyed the tour of Old San Juan and LoĆ­za with Sofrito Tours. Laura made the experience feel like my own personal tour. Not only did we visit the mainstays, we also got to sample fruit & foods from islander-known hidden gems. We participated in Bomba class. It was everything I wanted from my first visit to this beautiful island - to be among its people.

Knowledge of culture and...

Knowledge of culture and history. Friendly. price was reasonable. Pickup at hotel and drop-off at ship were appreciated.

Awesome Service

Published on Feb, 2024

Laura the owner was amazing! She didn’t rush the trip just to make it fit into a half day which is what was paid for. She was patient. She was very knowledgeable on the history that she shared with us. She made our day very worthwhile. I would definitely tour with her again the next time I visit.
