Explore curaçao through the eyes of a local

5.00Going through different parts of Williamstead in his personal car, our guide as a fourth generation local led us to his favorite family spots for local favorites. We traveled from rif fort and ortrabanda to Salina and to Punda experiencing breakfast, lunch and dinner time type meals with snacks and drinks along the way. He was personable, and gave us a closer glimpse into daily life as a local that you would never get from a larger tour group. We loved feeling like locals and seeing how his connections as a local got us the “in” at prime spots. The food was incredible every place we went, being reminded that our job wasn’t to finish it all. This tour was a memory for a lifetime that we will share for years to come.
Savor rich local flavors & culture

5.00We had a great tour. The food was fresh and we went to places where locals would eat. Bart was a great guide, friendly and personable, he will not steer you wrong. You are missing out if you don’t try the local dishes. We enjoyed the sate and potatoes so much we ordered more of it for our last dinner on the island. I teach people how to communicate and relate to others in the work world and Bart is great at connecting with people and showing you the best of what the culture has to offer.

5.00This tour was so much fun! Not only did we get to try great food but we got to learn a lot about Curaçao. We saw a bunch of artwork and got to take the “touristy” pictures too. The food was amazing and we loved having the intimate, private tour vibe. The locals love and respect Bart. We even got the chance to be on the Terrace Plaza Sports Bar IG page to review the pastechi. He did a really good job at tying in all of the different culture influences on the food we tried. We would definitely recommend if you are coming to Curaçao!
Learned (& ate!) so much!

5.00Wonderful food tour with Bart! So much history of the beautiful country coupled with delicious, local food & drink. Bart was a fabulous guide! Couldn’t imagine the Curaçao food tour with anyone else as he takes such great care to highlight the local food experience! Loved every spot we visited and enjoyed amazing food and drink. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the island! It was our friends’ fifth visit, and they also thoroughly enjoyed it! Tip: book early & take the tour early in your visit so you know where to eat the rest of your trip! Thank you, Bart!

Private local cuisine and sights tour

5.00Bart is a great tour guide! He is a native so is knowledgeable about the island and its history, culture and food. His food recommendations were excellent giving us a true sense of local cuisine from multiple places around the island. By chance, we got to meet his two young, remarkable boys and their grandfather while they were fishing. It was a pleasant difference from taking a large group cruise tour. We highly recommend.
WONDERFUL Private Guide!

5.00BART was an outstanding guide. My husband was delighted to learn that Bart does part of the tour on foot, but most of the tour is by SUV so we could see more of the two main local areas. By the end of the tour he felt like family. Bart was born in Curaçao and his ancestors immigrated from the Netherlands during WWII. His tour not only introduced us to several delicious local foods but also shared the rich local history. First, more about the food. As Bart explained many of the local recipes are based on other culture dishes with a distinct Curaçao twist. We enjoyed fresh fruit smoothies for breakfast, followed by a unique delicious ground white pea muffins that was similar to a small corn muffin, but better and lighter with a unique “kick”. Later, after a tour of multiple cultural and historical sites we ate a dish of stewed beef on a bed of rice and peas and plantains- we could not finish it all! Bart was a wonderful, friendly, considerate guide. He even took us to a beautiful, local seaside park to enjoy our last dish. His tour was our favorite tour on our cruise. We HIGHLY recommend him!
Bart was awesome! So...

5.00Bart was awesome! So much more than a food tour. It was a culture tour as well. I went on several tours during my vacation and this one was the best! Don't settle for any other food tour.
Just book it, well worth the time.

Best Tour in Curacao, don’t miss out!

5.00Our experience in Curacao was taken to a whole new level thanks to Bart. He is very well informed and knowledgeable on the culture and history, very well connected to the local shops and restaurants, and above all else just a genuinely good guide. We went on this tour expecting to try new foods, which we did, but the tour was much more than just trying food thanks to the visible love Bart has for Curacao! We went to five food stops trying something new at each place. In between and during the stops is when we learned about not only the food culture and history but also the country. Which continued at the blue Curacao distillery. We were also able to stop and get some touristy photos! Long story short, I would book this tour all over again just to relive the experience
