5.00My wife and I went on the tour in Mar 26 when overnight in port on a cruise. Communication from/with Jasmine was excellent and she kindly helped with advising on evening restaurant options and even sorted the booking. It was a great recommendation. Zandi was our guide for the food tour and was great. Very sociable, knowledgeable and fun. She took us to fabulous local market stalls and restaurants. Background info always provided by Zan. Places we would never have thought to visit and/or try the food or drink. And it was all just fabulous. Also did a mini walking tour, heard stories about Castries and ideas for other visits. Just a great time and highly recommend. Thanks Jasmine / Zan
Great castries food tour!

5.00Jasmine, our guide, was excellent. Great personality and knowledge made the 2.5hrs fly by, and with 21 different tastes of local food and drinks along the way you would be wise to go hungry. Her warm and friendly style so typical on the Island made this a lovely expereince. We would recommend this tour guide and walking tour to anyone who wants and authentic and relaxed taste of St Lucia.

5.00Jasmine really looked after us. We went around the market and tasted amazing local food - Doubles, coco tea, salt fish bake, peanut sea moss “smoothie”. We also experienced the myriad choices of different tasting mango and finished off with some local bouillon, stew and drink. Jasmine is super friendly and full of smiley energy. We had a lot of fun!
Good tour for folks who like to try new foods

5.00My husband and I love to learn about local cuisine whenever we go on a trip. Because St. Lucia isn't much of a wander-type island, this tour was perfect for what we were looking for. We had to book a driver from our resort and back, if you're on a cruise, getting there would be much easier. We met our tour guide, Rawn, right on time and right where she said she'd be. First stop was a fruit stand, we got to try a bunch of local in-season fruit. As it was December, the options were not as plentiful as summer, but it was still tasty and interesting. Next stop was a salt cod sandwich type pastry and cocoa tea. The cocoa tea was soooo good. Reminded me a little of the horchata in Barcelona. Then we stopped on a street corner and got doubles. By far the best meal of the tour (and probably the whole trip). My husband wanted to find more of those the rest of the trip. Then we stopped at a local restaurant for a traditional lunch. We had a few options to choose from, I chose stewed chicken and my husband got stewed pork. The best part were the various local steamed tubers we got to try. Then we got a coconut roll pastry, and the tour was over. FYI - I was fine walking in flip flops, but I'm younger and active. All in all we would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in learning about and trying different cuisines.
