Food and Rum Tour - My husband and I visited St Lucia for our honeymoon and were so impressed by this tour! Everything we had was delicious! We had a local breakfast and lunch, toured the rum distillery, and even got to tour a local farm where they let us try several different fruits and freshly roasted cashews. They even roasted the cashews right in front of us! I also can’t recommend our guide, Chris, enough! He was so fun to be around and incredibly knowledgeable! It was like touring with a great friend!

The one tour any food lover needs in St. Lucia - I honestly don't have enough words for this tour with Delvin. He showed us so many fantastic local spots away from the touristy circles from Castries all the way down to Roseau. If there is one tour you do in St. Lucia, make it this one - but please be ready to enjoy food!

The freshest fruit - Fantastic experience. Chris was an excellent and insightful guide. The food was amazing with the highlight being the farm visit where you had to walk across a river to get there. Once there got to try the freshest pineapple and mango. Overall very good.

Expectation exceeded - The tour was amazing! Our driver Andy was incredible. He was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond, exceeding our expectations. On our way to our various food spots, he pointed out historical locations and gave us a brief history lesson on each location. He even stopped to allow us to take pics. The tour started with breakfast where we tasted some of the best bakes and saltfish on the island; lunch was homemade giving a true and authentic Lucian vibe. We then visited a farm where we tasted local fruits. I highly recommend this tour.

Authentic/Local Experience - If you’re into touristy excursions this may not be for you BUT if you want to eat local food from mom and pop shops/homes, eat fresh fruit at a farm, and see the country in eyes of local, this is AMAZING! Delvin was so down to earth, patient and funny. We would highly recommend!

Great experience! - Fantastic tour with Delvin. He took great care to give us a warm introduction to St Lucia. In addition to a few must-do experiences like rum tasting at the distillery, he also took us to some incredible locations that were off the usual tourist track, including a generations old organic farm with an abundant variety of unique produce, and a fantastic home-cooked meal! It is a great way to learn more about the unique history, culture, and wonderful people of this beautiful Caribbean island.
