Best tour we’ve been on - Allen was an amazing driver, so fun and informative. I wouldn’t have asked for a better driver. His personality made this trip all worth it.
Paulette was made for this job, her outgoing spirit and informational gift was truly outstanding. Thank you both for such a great time.

Sampling all Bridgetown has to offer - Met Ravi and Paulette on a beautiful morning in Bridgetown. They brought us on an amazing historical and contemporary tour of the City and along the way we tasted all their favourite local foods like fish cakes and, my favourite, the ice cream at the end!!! We really enjoyed it all from start to finish and Ravi and Paulette felt like old friends by the end of it!! Would highly recommend... Great way to see the City while sampling its delights!! Thank you Ravi and Paulette!! Ian, Noelle, Anne Marie and Joe (Ireland) 🇮🇪

Excellent Local Food Tour - What a great way to spend time in Bridgetown and be prepared to eat!!! Paulette was an excellent guide who was so knowledgeable with her information on both the history and the food of Barbados. She was personable, interesting, and engaging. The tour was a fairly easy walk with samples of a lot of the local cuisine at both sit-down and food stands. It was also a very easy walk to and from the cruise port. Highly recommend

Come HUNGRY!! - Come hungry!!! What an amazing experience doing the Lickrish food tour. Our guide Janelle was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the island and how it relates to the cuisine of the area. She was so kind and did a fantastic job. We have done food tours all over the world and it was definitely one of the best. We had a meat roll, fish cakes, sorrel juice, fresh cantaloupe, a coconut sweet, macaroni pie with chicken and salad, and topped it off with ice cream. It was a pretty easy and flat walk, though it was quite hot! Pack your sunscreen!

History and great local food. - Great tour with Paulette around Bridgetown. The food was varied and plentiful and Paulette explained the origin of the food and its present day use. She was very knowledgeable and super interesting. The history of the island was interspersed with the food history. It was a great walking tour, visiting out of the way restaurants, street vendors, and a market etc. The food was great!
Highly recommend it!,

Food Tour in Bridgetown, Barbados - The food tour was interesting. It was an extremely hot day and sunny. It took 3 hours of walking around and sampling local Bajan food and bakery items. We started off with the bakery, then a sit down restaurant where we had chicken leg, macaroni pie, coleslaw, cassava cucumber relish. It was okay to me. Then we went to a cafe and I had a chicken. It was good. After that we went to another sit in small restaurant and we were served chicken thigh mixed with black eye peas and rice with a small salad added to the same plate. I didn’t really like this. Others in my group enjoyed it. Last stop was non dairy ice cream shop. We both had mango ice cream and it was delicious. After that the tour ended. Paulette was nice and friendly. She was very knowledgeable of the Bajan/Barbados history and told us a great story of Barbados’s past.
