Good food; Great guide! - We had a group of 6 older adults, a few of whom have some difficulty walking long distances. There was more walking than we expected, but our guide, Candy, was wonderful! She was so accommodating and sweet to our friend. She even arranged a ride for him up the hill when the climb became too much for him. She sat and chatted with him until he was comfortable again, and then arranged transportation back to the cruise ship for all of us. We stopped at Amory Bakery for a pastry first, and then walked to Palm Court Gardens for lunch at The View. They served salt fish fritters with pineapple chutney and salad. It included fruit juice and a cookie fresh from the oven. Candy shared the history of the island with us and described the buildings and monuments as we walked. We were sorry to slow the pace of the tour for others, but Candy never made us feel like it was a problem, and was the absolute best guide ever! Everyone in our party had only good things to say about her! Thanks again, Candy, for turning what could have been a difficult situation into such a positive one for all of us!

Great bakery and restaurant overlooking the cruise dock and Nevis - Our guide was very nice young lady! However, unlike many of other food/walking tours that we have been on previously, this one only has two food stops: a bakery and a restaurant. Both places were excellent! It did not give as many details as I have had on other walking tours about the area. We basically strolled through town, went by an Anglican church, then walked along the water to a war memorial. Would have liked to hear more details regarding population size, etc about the people living there

Less Than Expected - Of all the food tours we’ve experienced across the U.S., Europe and the Caribbean, this one fell far short of expectations. The tour consisted of only two stops: a bakery, where we received a raisin cinnamon roll, and a second location that offered four codfish fritters with a very small salad. While the view and setting at the Palms Court restaurant and pool were stunning, they weren’t enough to justify the experience. Although our guide, Kande, was very pleasant, she provided minimal information unless prompted with questions. For instance, we simply passed by St. Angelican Church without even stopping to read the sign, and a local market and street vendors were overlooked entirely, despite their potential for authentic food tastings. Overall, the tour was a disappointment and not worth the time or cost.

Don’t book this - I booked this tour back in late 2024, it was advertised as a food tour stopping at a handful of local spots. The reviews raved about it, stating that they hit 4-5 places minimum, feeling stuffed when they left. I was not notified that this was no longer the tour they were providing in 2025. We arrived to find that there were only two stops, I thought I misheard because I know what I paid for. The first stop was a bakery where nothing looked appetizing and the pastries were stale. It was mentioned that we had “one more stop” and my husband and I decided it was a total waste of time and money, so we left before the second stop. I’ve reached out to Viator for a refund, but I’m warning other travelers to avoid this excursion. It’s a total waste. Just walk around on your own and try foods if you want a good experience

Not a cultural food tour - No authentic St Kittien food Although the tour guide was very kind and patient, she did not provide information on St Kitts culture or history We had very slow walkers in our group that impacted the tour We only had two food stops One was a at a bakery where we just like a regular customer We were very disappointed in this tour You should only sign up if you are able to walk 1-2 miles

Tour cancelled, not a good alternative or refund offered - My wife and I waited at the correct point and time. Local Rep came up and stated the tour had been cancelled as our guide was ill so we were being put onto an island tour. This was not what we wanted to do, and no other suitable alternative was offered nor was a refund. Whilst at the waiting point we chatted to 2 other couples who had different tours booked to ours but told the same story and put onto the island tour. Seems to me the tour company get the money then cancel everything apart from the island tour on an open air bus.

Do not book this tour!!! - DO NOT GO ON THIS TOUR!! I arrived at the meeting spot at 10:30am and the tour guide showed up late. He then asked if I could reschedule to 12:30 due to his tardiness. Then when I showed up again at 12:30 they were “sick” and asked me to reschedule to a different day. I wasted over 2 hours messing around with this. Also trip advisor told me I wouldn’t be able to get a refund for another week. I repeat, DO NOT BOOK THIS!

No Show - Guide never showed up. It was carnival/ festival time in St Kitts. Music was really loud and was majority of the crowd were drinking , at 10am… ladies were in skimpy outfits. My wife & I did not feel safe. Local policeman suggested we go back to our ship. Never heard a word from tour company or guide!
