Jane was a wealth of knowledge about the history of the Virgin Islands. She was prompt, friendly, and engaging. She introduced us to many local people who also educated us on interesting facts.
Let's do it again!

The tour guide was excellent however directions to meeting point was in the completely opposite direction that we were supposed to go. The other couple in our tour had the same issue finding the meeting spot and the other people in the tour never showed…….i assume they had a similar problem finding the meeting point

Jane is an excellent guide. There is as much culture as food and we loved it. We learned a lot about St. Thomas. Judith at E’s Garden & Tea House was delightful! Gladys’ was delicious and ending at The Lost Turtle was perfect. This was a great way to spend an afternoon!

Our tour guide was Jane and we all had a wonderful day with her. We met at the fort and walked to various locations. She has a lot of information and took us to various places for a variety of foods and drinks. We would highly recommend this tour to all who visit St. Thomas!

Great guide! He took us on a fun tour of the area and each stop had incredible food. The tea at E’s was divine. My only suggestion would be to end the tour at a different local bar. Not everyone is a Christian, and it’s a little off-putting to be talked to about ministry and church while having a cocktail and trying to relax on vacation.
