About this experience

If you’re the kind of traveler (not tourist) who likes to walk, listen, see and TASTE…this food tour is for you—a food tour and a city tour blended into one to make the most of your short stay on our sunny island.

Indulge yourself with making your own Rum Cocktails – don’t worry, we’ll show you how! Dine through Charlotte Amalie and take in a full lunch progressively enjoyed across a mix of famous and hidden gem foodie haunts in the capitol city near both cruise ports.

Savor Caribbean classics like flavorful curried chicken, slow roasted pulled pork tacos and local rum. Push your foodie IQ by trying creole “fungi” and fried yellow plantain.

We’ll dig deep into the island’s rich past of pirates, rum and even delicious home made cakes. Let us show you our little slice of paradise and get you involved in the local food scene so you leave with the confidence and knowledge of a local.

NOTE: We CANNOT accommodate vegans, but we can accommodate gluten free and vegetarians
