DO THIS! - This was a wonderful tour. Every stop was a locally owned small place. Jenny was a fantastic tour guide. We learned so very much about many aspects of the island, its politics, education policies and its history. At each place we stopped, the food was flavorful , unique, and interesting. Another nice aspect of this tour, was that it would be very good for people with limited walking abilities. All of the stops are within a few blocks of each other.
We highly recommend this tour without exceptions!

Limited locations open - Jenny was great! But only 2 food places were open and 1 was for beverages only. For the price, and the # of locations not open, it was a bit disappointing! Again, love Jenny!
