  Orama was great - knowledgeable and super helpful both in terms of answering all of our many questions as well as guiding us on other things to see and do. Mauruuru Orama ;-)

  This was brilliant and a must do if you visit Papeete. There's no better way to learn about a culture than through food. The tour was broken up into different sections with plenty of variety to taste, my wife and I were full afterwards. This was a highlight of our day.

• Lots of wonderful local treats with a great guide!

  This tour was great....we tried to get on a Wednesday and it was full, so opted for Thursday and it turned out that we were the only ones on the tour which was lovely. We found out later that people from our cruise ship were in the Wednesday spot...they had a great time also! Lots of food, great stories, love the wonderful guy at Snack Lucky (might not be the right name), love the Chinese Plum Powder and fresh fish breakfast treat. Everything was so nice! Would definitely recommend you take part in this as a way to acclimate yourself to Tahiti and the Society Islands

  

  

  

  

• Orama's tour is the best!

  Orama is the absolute best guide for a food tour of Papeete. She brought us to 5 different locations including the market and introduced us to many new dishes. I was surprised about the heavy influence of Chinese cuisine in the food here. She is a wealth of information about Tahitian food and culture. She was also able to give us a recommendation for a great "local" dinner spot that was also spectacular. We have done many food tours and this was a great combination of great local food (enough but not too much), small group size, and a very knowledgeable guide.

• Wonderful food and cultural tour

  Orana led a great tour of casual cafes, snack shops, restaurants and the Central Market. We also stopped in a wine shop for a little tasting of Polynesian flavored rums. We got an excellent overview of what the locals eat. Orana is also very happy to share local history and customs, so it’s more than just a food tour. We highly recommend this tour.

  Orama is a delightful tour guide and did a wonderful job of highlighting the Polynesian, French, and Chinese origins of modern Tahitian cuisine. A lovely experience that gave me a great appreciation for the local food scene.

  This tour was perfect. We tasted delicious foods and enjoyed friendly conversation with the others on the tour (it was our family of four + one other couple). Orama and her friend were so helpful and interesting and kind, and they knew all the tips and secrets that helped us appreciate Papeete. The balance between eating, walking, and shopping (we stopped into a couple of small shops) was perfect and we learned so many things that helped us on the last day of our travel. We wished we'd done this food tour at the beginning, so we would have benefited from the information for longer, but even with only one day left, we returned to many places we'd visited to shop or taste things again. Orama also included cultural and historical information, but just in the right amounts for my teenagers. We learned a lot without feeling like we were on an educational tour. Highly recommend!!

• The Best Food Tour Ever!

  The Papeete Food Tour is a well organized and well paced walking tour led by two competent and friendly local women and featuring a wide and interesting variety of food options in downtown Papeete. We started in a traditional Polynesian breakfast cafe for a fabulous local breakfast and moved on to an old school Chinese snack shop, concluding with a trendy French-Tahitian fusion restaurant featuring tuna burgers on brioche rolls. And there were plenty of delightful snacks along this leisurely stroll, including a visit to the city farmers market for fresh fruit and a stop for local limeade and vanilla and coconut ice cream. This tour introduced us to the best food and produce Tahiti has to offer.

• Delightful introduction to Papeete

  An absolutely delightful morning. We learned so much about Tahitian food and got a lovely tour of downtown Papeete into the bargain. I thought it was rather pricey when I booked the tour but when I saw the preparation and care that went into the tour, I realised it was worth every penny. Highly recommend!

  We have done food tours in many countries and this was one of the best. Orama is passionate and knowledgeable and the group is no more than 6. Great tastes- I think we ate more than 10 items. Highly recommend.
