Great tour and some tasty food & drink options - This was a great walking food tour. Our tour guide Jennie was super knowledgeable about the area and provided a bunch of great info as we walked. We did have her speed up the tour a bit for us since our Ship reduced our hours, but she just talked and walked instead of stopping to tell us about the history. Which honestly I prefer anyway. There was 4 (5 sorta) stops on our Tour; a tea house, a bakery, a restaurant, a brewery, and a food stall. All the food and drinks we had were great, we ended up picking up extra stuff at most of the stops. I would definitely recommend this to others, it was really fun.

Amazing experience! Just really hot in St.Thomas. - Great experience! Learned a lot about the island….the only complaint was that it was so hot outside! This doesn’t have anything to do with the tour though. The food was amazing. Saw a lot of great little hole in the wall food places. The tea was amazing too! Great tour guide.

Highly recommend - We took our tour with Jayne on Saturday, May 18, 2024 and it was amazing for our family of six! We enjoyed the bits of history that were sprinkled in with the delicious food! Our favorite spot was the stop at Glady’s Cafe, so if you take this tour, definitely ask if you can go there.

Tasty food and interesting history - Really enjoyed learning about the history of the island. The guide was personable and knowledgeable. The woman from the tea shop was really enjoyable to listen to. We could have listened to her longer! And the hibiscus tea was delicious! I strongly recommend scheduling the tour on a day that doesn't have multiple cruise ships docked as it makes the city very, very busy.

Decent experience - The tour was cute but I think it’s over priced for what is actually received. It wasn’t a bad tour but the island is already expensive, the money can be better spent on other activities. Our tour guide was very nice and entertaining.

Terrific waste of time and money! - It was a bust!
We called the operator the day before the excursion because we found out that our cruise ship wasn’t going to make it into port in time to make it to this excursion. The only option was leaving a message. So we left a message. We didn’t hear back from them. The next morning, we got a taxi and rushed to the meeting place. There wasn’t anyone at the meeting place and our calls, texts and voicemails went unanswered! We then left another message asking for details of where the group would be going. We wanted to meet them at the next stop. There was only the option to leave a message and so we left another message. We couldn’t find the operator or the tour. We didn’t ever hear from the operator.
Don’t waste your money with this operator!! Stay with the excursions sponsored by the cruise line!
