Great way to start the trip! - This was a spring break capstone trip for a course I teach on food justice and food sovereignty. Green Olive Tree Consulting set up the tour package and included this on the itinerary. It was great learning about the history of the island and sample the good good. Mara is a great tour guide.

You will be full!! - Great tour! LD was delightful and full of local lore. We went to small, local establishments - places you might not go to unless you got a recommendation. The food was delicious! They recommend eating a light breakfast, if at all. Believe them! You will be full! Highly recommend.

Don’t MISS & book early in your trip so you can visit favorite spots! - HIGHLY recommend and take the tour at the beginning of the trip - so you’ll have time to come back to some of your favorite spots! Charlie our guide was terrific! He shared history of St. Croix - and the food spots were excellent. We wouldn’t have found out about them otherwise.

A MUST DO on St. Croix! - I have been to St. Croix many times and this was my first food tour, it is a MUST DO on the island. It gives you a flavor of all the beauty the island has to offer. Our guide was so sweet and knowledgable and you could tell how she genuinely loves her job. I would recommend booking the tour in the begining of your trip because you will get so many ideas of what else to do afterwards. ENJOY!

Good way to begin a vacation in Christiansted. - The food tour is an excellent introduction to a vacation in St. Croix. The guide provided historical information as she escorted us to local food venues. We would not have noticed some of the restaurants and bakeries if not for this tour. I would have given it an excellent rating except for bad directions to the starting point, which stressed us and caused us to almost miss the tour. We were given a street address only, not the name of the first restaurant. There was no address on the building so we walked right past it.
