What To Expect
At Riffort, visitors can admire the impressive 19th-century fortifications and learn about their role in the island's defense system. The fort was built by the Dutch in 1828 and was used to protect the city from pirates and other invaders. Fort Amsterdam is located in the heart of Willemstad and is one of the most significant historical sites on the island. Built by the Dutch in the 17th century, the fort played a crucial role in the island's history as a hub for trade and commerce in the Caribbean. One of the most notable features of Fort Amsterdam is the nearby Governor's Palace, which serves as the official residence of the governor of Curacao.
Otrobanda
Kura Hulanda is a vibrant and historic neighborhood that is well worth exploring. The area is home to colorful architecture, lively streets, and some of the island's best restaurants and bars. Travelers can stroll through the neighborhood's narrow streets and soak up the unique atmosphere that makes Curacao such a special place.

5.00The Private 3-Hour Willemstad Culinary: Foodie Tour was truly exceptional! We love food tours as a way to connect with a place, and this one exceeded all expectations. Our guide, Helvig, was phenomenal — a third-generation Curaçao local who shared her deep knowledge of the island’s history, culture, and cuisine with honesty and passion. She gave us an insightful, balanced perspective on Curaçao’s past and present, all while leading us through the beautiful streets of Willemstad, pointing out stunning architecture and its cultural significance. The food stops were diverse, delicious, and reflective of the island’s rich multicultural roots. We ended the tour feeling full — not just in our stomachs, but in our hearts and minds, too. Helvig brought the spirit of the island to life, and we’re already dreaming of our next visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an immersive and meaningful cultural experience. Thank you, Helvig!
Excellent!

5.00Helvig was absolutely wonderful. This food tour felt like a casually stroll through stroll through Willemstad with a good friend. The selected food stops served delicious local food and cocktails. All the while getting some info and history about the island and the city. We enjoyed our time with Helvig and absolutely do recommend this food tour!

5.00Helvig has such a vast knowledge of Curacao, so not only did we eat incredible Curacao food, but we learned some history along the way as we walked to four different restaurants! We highly recommend this foodie tour!

5.00Five stars isn’t nearly enough to describe our experience. Imagine an old dear friend taking you around and sharing with you the experience of their culture and favorite eating spots. If I had to describe us it would be as “real foodies without the attitude”. On the culinary side we could not have been happier. The first stop, at the restaurant where the ad photo was taken was one of the best meals we’ve had - so fresh and innovative - no way to describe it adequately as it has to be experienced. The rest of the stops were also superlative. During our walking adventure we learned so much about the culture and history of Curaçao. The one thing that was even better than the food was our conversation and interaction with Helvig. The other review posted is spot-on and there just aren’t words that exist that adequately express how much we enjoyed our time on this tour.
HELVIG IS AMAZING!!!!

5.00The review I write will not do the experience justice but I will try my best. My husband and I are big foodies and always try to find unique food experiences wherever our travels may take us. This one was over the top! First off, Helvig is in fact... amazing. She is a great conversationalist and ridiculously familiar with the history of the island as she is multi-generational in that regard. She is also very humorous if you are inclined to allow her to be so. I would have attached pictures as I do in fact have many, however, that would spoil the surprises that await you should you be fortunate enough to book this tour. Thanks to her and the experience we WILL visit Curacao again which was ZERO CHANCE prior to the tour - due to a horrible resort experience. It is my understanding that she has different tours with some being without the food experience. Whatever the experience is..... just BOOK IT!!! Bonnie and Clyde Greenville, SC
