This was a wonderful tour. Every stop was a locally owned small place. Jenny was a fantastic tour guide. We learned so very much about many aspects of the island, its politics, education policies and its history. At each place we stopped, the food was flavorful , unique, and interesting. Another nice aspect of this tour, was that it would be very good for people with limited walking abilities. All of the stops are within a few blocks of each other.
We highly recommend this tour without exceptions!

I edited the tour reservation 3 days in advance of the tour from 4 people to 3, but I was charged for 4 people.

The combination of food and history lesson about the area was perfect. Jennie was very knowledgeable and welcoming, we connected with her instantly.
Sherri_P, Apr 2024
Jenny was great! But only 2 food places were open and 1 was for beverages only. For the price, and the # of locations not open, it was a bit disappointing! Again, love Jenny!

Our tour guide, Jane, was amazingly knowledgeable about St. Thomas history and the local sites. She very graciously escorted us to 5 local establishments where we dined on freshly baked and prepared treats. It was a very pleasant and fulfilling afternoon. Our thanks to her for the memorable time. .

My wife and I took the food tasting tour. Our guide Jane was awesome and very intuitive. The tour was very informative and we learned a lot of about the history of the islands. Thanks you Jane for your fun and professionalism. The food was good too!

Jenny had good knowledge of the history of the USVI. Went to several places for wonderful tastes of local cuisine. There were 7 people in the group which was a nice number to socialize and enjoy the good and the company.
