As a native Crucian, I was very excited to learn that there was a food tour on my native island. In the past, I have done several food tours in different cities and enjoyed doing them. Therefore, I immediately booked this food tour as part of my family reunion activities.Well, I can definitely say that this food tour met and exceeded my expectations and was one of the highlights of our reunion. This is because it was the perfect blend of delicious food and VI history. Our guide (LD) was fantastic. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic in explaining the background of each eatery we visited sprinkled in with VI history as we walked through Christiansted. We knew most of the history but did learn some new things on the tour. And the best part is that we tried food from local places that were new even to me to find they are absolute gems worth a return visit. Definitely giving this a 5-star review and a must do when visiting my island St. Croix

This is the third time my husband and I took the food tour . We not only enjoyed the 6 tastings, each from a local owner, but also the history of each one of the restaurants, and most dating back many generations, History was not only of the restaurants, but also Christensted, and St Croix. That's thanks to our tour guide, J.D. , who enjoyed sharing the knowledge she had of each place we stopped at and historical facts of the town. Very bright and cheery. As a note, for doing this tour 3 times, we had a different tour guide and each time we learned something new. So we highly recommend the food tour. Always perfect and alot of fun, this time thanks to L.D. We'll be back.

This was an amazing and informative tour. Our guide David was friendly and gave a wonderful explanation of all the foods and drinks we experienced in the tour along with the history of the island. All the restaurants/desert/drink establishments were fantastic. We simply can not recommend this tour enough. We did the tour the day after we arrived on the island and it gave us a great start to our knowledge of the foods & the island. Do your self a favor and book this tour! It was fantastic!!!!

This was a great tour. Our guide, LD, was friendly and knowledgeable. I wish we had done the tour earlier in our trip so we would have known the good spots to eat! We ended up going back to 3 of the stops on our own. Food was excellent and the Christansted info was interesting/helpful. Definitely recommend if you like good food and immersing yourself in local culture.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, we only wish we would have done it earlier in our trip instead of at the end. We loved trying the different cuisines as well as learning a little history about the island. Highly recommend, well worth the price. Make sure to go hungry, you will leave stuffed.

Both guides, Malayia & David were fantastic. Enjoyed the local cultural education & fantastic food stops. I wish this tour had happened the first day of arrival, rather than the end. That way I could have gone back to many of the stops several times afterwards. Nonetheless, what a great tour, with amazing your guides and in a fun city. I highly recommend

We really enjoyed trying all sorts of different foods at local places we most likely wouldn't have tried. The food was fantastic. Our guide, Mara, was wonderful. She gave a lot of interesting facts about local culture and history. She pointed out neat places we otherwise would not have seen. What an awesome tour! We sampled local cuisine and learned about the area's history. The cuisine at each of the five locations was absolutely mouthwatering. Mara, our guide, was just wonderful. Her manner was charming, and her expertise was extensive. Her upbringing in Christiansted and the anecdotes she gave shed tremendous insight into St. Croix culture.
