Flavors of St. Lucia: A Local's Tour - This was an awesome shore excursion! Delvin was a prompt communicator prior to the excursion and a wonderful local host and guide during the excursion. The tour provided transportation to/from Port Seraphine. We experienced St. Lucia from a local's perspective and saw only a handful of other tourists all day. This tour was put together thoughtfully, and we met some really great people along the way. The food stops were all delicious and the rum distillery was fun and educational (History of rum and the Carnival museum). One of the highlights was having lunch at his Mom's house, such a pretty setting. This tour was a great value because all of the food and drinks are included, and the number of places that you get to see. If you choose, you can purchase the local items you enjoy to take home and it was a no pressure atmosphere. We had a great time! We can't wait to come back to St. Lucia and join Delvin on tour again!

IT WAS AN AMAZING DAY! - My husband and I enjoyed every minute of this adventure with Delvin at the helm!. It was such a fun day! Breakfast in the hilltops was authentically awesome--loved everything about it---and the rum tastings with 22 possibilities were amazing (we bought two bottles!). The spice tastings with Miss Boisy was not only yummy and unique but it was entertaining, and the visit to the farm with fruit tastings and the owner Tony's delicious fresh roasted cashews was a fun experience, but the highlight of the adventure was the stop at Delvin's mom's house for lunch --not only was the food delicious and beautifully prepared but Delvin's mom is absolutely charming and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting her. In sum, we would highly recommend this tour!!!!! Thank you very much for an amazing day in St. Lucia, Delvin!!!!!

Best thing we did in St Lucia - This was the highlight of our trip to St. Lucia. Chris was a great tour guide and took us to all the local places and the food was amazing. From a traditional breakfast to locally grown fruit and roasting cashew nuts to the local lunch we had it was a great time. I can’t recommend this tour enough!

This is the one: Book this amazing tour! - Listen, if you do only one thing in St. Lucia, let it be this tour! This was by far the best tour I took while there. You get everything in one- food, rum, history, and sightseeing. Delvin is an absolutely amazing tour guide. He arrived early to pick me up and he was kind, accommodating, and extremely personable. While on the tour, he answered my many questions and shared some history and cultural nuances about St. Lucia. As someone of Caribbean heritage, this tour felt truly authentic and was everything I was looking for. You can tell Delvin genuinely cares about his culture and you can see the intentionality with which he created this tour. It was also evident that he wants to make sure other local vendors benefit from his work. Another great part of the tour were the people. Boyzie, one of the vendors who does the sauce and rum tastings, was simply the best. She was friendly, funny, and generous; I adored her. Tony and his brother were informative and I liked the various demonstrations they gave us on their farm. We also happened to meet up with another group that was being led by Chris, a tour guide from this company, and he was great. He offered a lot of great information about farming practices. Kaye Savann provided a delicious breakfast and Delvin’s aunt also made a truly wonderful lunch. I’m really glad I got to do this tour and learn so much about the beautiful culture of St. Lucia.
