Fantastic experience - This trip was amazing. All the food we got to try was amazing and the sights and information we got from Das about Montego Bay was so interesting. He was extremely knowledgable. Would highly recommend.

Exploring Montego Bay - We were going stir crazy with the hotel food and wanted to try some authentic local food- we got to try jerk chicken, stewed beef, fried chicken, curry goat, cheese & beef patty (my favourite item of the day), fresh fruit and local pineapple juice drink. Not only does the tour give you some amazing food, you also get to learn about Montego Bay and its history. Our tour guide Das was super helpful, friendly and even took videos/photos throughout the day for us, so we could concentrate on eating. Would highly recommend doing this tour

Excellent - Especially with Mama G! - This tour is a MUST do! As a solo traveler, Mama G made me feel so welcome, at-home, and gave me what felt like a personalized tour even though it was our first time meeting. She made my trip! Although it was the rainy season, she still searched the market high and low, ensuring I got to try two fruits I'd never had (noseberry & sweet sop - both delicious) as well as my requested mango. She also went out of her way to ensure I got the purest blue mountain coffee and tried peanut porridge along the way. All the food was delicious, and I feel I got a taste of the real Montego Bay. But above all was the company - excellent. If you're able, I highly recommend this tour! And again, Mama G is the best <3

Authentic food! - Our tour guide Das was AMAZING! He not only took us to get some great authentic Jamaican food but also gave a history tour. I recommend coming hungry because you will get full! He even got us snacks to take home and we didn’t finish all the food. Everything was so good! Thanks for everything!

Authentic Jamaica Food and Cool Vibes - I was desparate to leave my resort to experience AUTHENTIC Jamaican Food! So happy I found the Foodie Tour!! Our tour guide DAS was friendly and knowledgeable not only about foodie spots and the area but he also gave us history lessons about prominent figures in Jamaica as well. He was easy to talk to and was flexible with requests. We had a few stops and right away for breakfast the food far exceeded my tastebuds expectations! The chicken was tender and flavorful and I couldn’t get enough of the dumplings.. and although we knew we had a days worth of eating, we couldn’t help ourselves but to keep eating! We also stopped by a fruit stand where Caney (Tenny) was really nice. Great workmanship with the machete and coconut! BTW.. BEST mangoes ever!! Went a few more places like Juici Patties (yum) and went to get Oxtails ( a special request) and Curry Goat! Great tour! Yah Mon.. book it!

Real food! Real Jamaica! A must do tour - My wife and I were on our honeymoon in Jamaica, and decided to do this tour at the spur of the moment. The one word to describe this tour is INCREDIBLE! First, let me say that this experience was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! It is one thing to go to Jamaica and be at a resort, but it’s another thing to actually go out and experience what it’s like to eat like a local! On this tour, you’ll get to eat how locals eat and see all around Montego Bay. Second, our tour guide, Das, was incredible. We wanted to experience the local culture and truly connect to it! Das went above and beyond to ensure that we had an incredible experience! He was very accommodating & made the tour enjoyable. His knowledge of Jamaican history and food was vast, and he was also very insightful to the spots we went too! Lastly, if you go on this tour, be ready to eat, laugh, have fun, and experience the REAL Jamaica! We will definitely book another experience through Das when we travel back to MBJ!!

Great tour. - Das was great! Very conversational and accommodating. He was willing to do the tour on Sunday and had to make a few changes to make sure we still got a good experience. The food was great and his knowledge of Montego Bay and Jamaican history made the tour awesome!

Great food tour - The food tour was great! Not only did we get to eat tasty food and snacks, we also learned some history about Jamaica. It was a private tour with a tour guide for my friends and I. Our tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable about the island’s history. I highly recommend this tour.
