1.00Supposed to be a food tour. Spent 1 hour and 45 min of 2 hours driving around in the back seat of his car. Couldn't see much over the edge. Was also supposed to be 2.5 hours. Was given lunch with no explanation of what we were eating. Supposed to include a rum tasting but place was closed.

4.00We were able to coordinate this with our cruise stop. We started with sampling a few items of the local food with Jerome at his food truck. Then we went on to drive around the island with Mildred making a few stops along the way for pictures and scenic areas. The car had air conditioning and was well kept. We weren't ready for lunch yet as we had just eaten, so we took lunch to go. Would have preferred a "culinary tour" to be more sampling along the way at different places. We enjoyed it overall. Jerome and Mildred were very friendly and able to answer our questions and tell us about Tortola.

4.00We started with sampling a few items of the local food with Jerome. Then we went on to drive around the island with Mildred making a few stops along the way for pictures and scenic areas. The order of the tour was such that we weren't ready for lunch yet as we had just eaten, so we took it to go. The labeling of a "culinary tour" is not quite what we thought and would be more sampling along the way at different places. Both were very friendly and able to give us info about beautiful Tortola.

5.00What a great experience. Mildred was really fun to hang out with and knew her island well. Definitely recommend this tour as it was fun and a nice change from all the physical tours done at prior ports

5.00Welcoming and pleasant operators and the food was absolutely delicious with large portions. We saw beautiful views, tasted uniques rums and shared our love of reggae music along the way.
More of a lunch with an island tour than a food tour.

4.00Not really a food tour IMO but there were some local delicacies at the beginning, then a drive around the island to check out some views and then s quick lunch at a local outdoor eatery.
Great and generous food tasting and lunch. Michael was a great tour guide. Frequent stops for photos.

4.00Had a great time today on the tour. Reminder--don't eat breakfast before this tour. Jerome had a great meal prepared when we arrived. Then we departed for a scenic drive around Tortola stopping at some great photo opportunities. We also stopped at a rum distillery for a tasting and then lunch at a local restaurant, UnderdeTent? Great food. Great time. The only suggestion is a bigger car for 4 people. Thanks Michael!
