Wonderful Tour & Wonderful Guide! - This tour was wonderful! It was a combination of history and local food sampling. The food was delicious (5 different stops, I think). Our guide, Mara, was delightful. She was very knowledgeable and had a wonderful personality. She's grew up in Christiansted and shared personal stories that really highlighted the culture of St. Croix. We were arriving by cruise ship and they pre-arranged transportation to and from the ship, so that we didn't have to find our own cab or worry about getting back to the ship late. (One caveat - it was hot and there was a lot of walking, some of it hilly. We are both 70 and relatively fit, but we were pretty tired at the end.)

Great food tour in STX. - So glad we did this! We got a nice overview of Christiansted, learned lots of history of the city and St Croix, and tasted several interesting and delicious dishes. LD took great care of us, was knowledgeable and fun!

Don't visit the island without doing this! - We thoroughly enjoyed this food tour. Our guide, KD, was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of St. Croix, and learning the history was my favorite part. It was also interesting to hear how different foods were created to sustain long working days throughout history. It would be nice to see a similar tour in Fredrickstead, too. We have been to St. Croix before but never had much background information on the island and history. This was such an informative session paired with food to sustain us during our tour. The tastings start heavier and lighten up, so you can eat it all and keep some for a snack later. We enjoyed the painkiller made with Mutiny Island Vodka; it was much better than a rum version. So glad we did this!

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.

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.
