Excellent tour of St. Thomas - Jane is an excellent guide. There is as much culture as food and we loved it. We learned a lot about St. Thomas. Judith at E’s Garden & Tea House was delightful! Gladys’ was delicious and ending at The Lost Turtle was perfect. This was a great way to spend an afternoon!

Food and Walking Tour in St. Thomas - Our tour guide was Jane and we all had a wonderful day with her. We met at the fort and walked to various locations. She has a lot of information and took us to various places for a variety of foods and drinks. We would highly recommend this tour to all who visit St. Thomas!

Fun Neighborhood Tour - Great guide! He took us on a fun tour of the area and each stop had incredible food. The tea at E’s was divine. My only suggestion would be to end the tour at a different local bar. Not everyone is a Christian, and it’s a little off-putting to be talked to about ministry and church while having a cocktail and trying to relax on vacation.

Great introduction to St. Thomas - It was a pleasure to spend part of our day with Girard. He was personable and knowledgeable in introducing us to historic sites, as well as some nice bites. We stayed after the tour at The Lost Turtle, a comfortable and relaxing respite in a friendly environment.

Local food is the best way to learn about any new place we travel to! - We came to St. Thomas for our anniversary. Being culture junkies AND foodies, we always try to find a food tour to taste the local food and to learn the history of said food. This was fantastic. It was a history and food tour and we learned so much about St. Thomas’ history and tried some fantastic food. Gerard is so knowledgeable and wonderfully kind. We had a great time and learned the best spots for dinners as well!

Delicious with a side of history - Jane was a wonderful tour guide. You can tell that she has a deep love of the island, it's people, and culture. I was taken to many off the beaten path spots that I wouldn't have found on my own. I wasn't expecting to learn as much about the history of St. Thomas as I did but I loved it. All the food was extremely tasty as well.

Tour guide was great! But... - Tour guide was great! But I was overcharged a lot by Viator compared to other websites, more than double than what others are charging for the exact same tour. I would recommend the tour to others but not from Viator.
