Must do! - It was our first time doing a food tour and we loved it. Gerard made sure we didn’t miss out on any knowledge about St. Thomas. We went to places we wouldn’t have known about if we didn’t go on the tour. So we’re thankful for Gerards time and all of the local places that helped us indulge.

Unforgettable Food Experience in St. Thomas! - Unforgettable Food Experience in St. Thomas! This tour was the absolute highlight of our trip to St. Thomas! From start to finish, it was the perfect blend of delicious local cuisine and fascinating island history. Our guide, Jane, was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also warm, funny, and passionate about sharing the culture of the island. We sampled a variety of authentic dishes—everything from mouthwatering conch fritters, Callaloo soup, and pate to flavorful tea and salt fish quiche. Each stop had its own story, and we loved hearing how the food connected to the island's colonial past and vibrant cultural influences. The historical aspect of the tour was just as impressive. We walked through charming cobblestone streets, visited historic landmarks, and learned about the island's Danish roots, pirate tales, and rich Afro-Caribbean heritage. It really brought St. Thomas to life in a way we wouldn’t have experienced otherwise. This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting the island—whether you’re a foodie, a history buff, or just looking for a fun, memorable way to explore St. Thomas. Highly, highly recommend! Thanks Jane!!

Gerard was awesome! - Gerard was a wonderful historian. This is my fourth time in St. Thomas and I learned so much more about the island than ever before. The last stop was my favorite! I've never tasted a root beer float that made me want to come back for more.

Three stops. Small bites.... - Three stops. Small bites. Great tour guide!!!! Perfect knowledge of the island and history but the food was not worth the price tag. Needs to add two stops of savory and speed it up if the time is meant to accommodate more tours in the day. Or cut price by 30-40%.
