An absolute St. Lucian MUST - The authentic food experiences were amazing! And the history behind the food gave it more character. Delvin is probably the best tour guide in St. Lucia.

Food and Rum Tour - My husband and I visited St Lucia for our honeymoon and were so impressed by this tour! Everything we had was delicious! We had a local breakfast and lunch, toured the rum distillery, and even got to tour a local farm where they let us try several different fruits and freshly roasted cashews. They even roasted the cashews right in front of us! I also can’t recommend our guide, Chris, enough! He was so fun to be around and incredibly knowledgeable! It was like touring with a great friend!

The one tour any food lover needs in St. Lucia - I honestly don't have enough words for this tour with Delvin. He showed us so many fantastic local spots away from the touristy circles from Castries all the way down to Roseau. If there is one tour you do in St. Lucia, make it this one - but please be ready to enjoy food!
