Itineraries vary, but samples may include tostones, mofongo, tapas at a Spanish restaurant (where the owner serenaded us a cappella), rum or beer samples, and possibly a mojito and French fries at tour guide Leslie Padró's favorite French bistro. Padró is a former CNN staffer from Atlanta, and she kept this tour informative and relaxed, as if sharing her local finds with friends. Very pregnant during our tour, she nonetheless got behind the bistro bar to help make the mojitos.
