A to do activity! - June was the perfect guide. It felt like we were hanging out with a friend instead of a tour. The merchants were so friendly and welcoming. Definitely a to do!

Good food, great guide - Our tour guide, Gerard, was the best part of our visit. He was so knowledgeable about the island and could answer even our most obscure questions. He confidently steered us around Charlotte Amalie and the food we sampled was delicious! We LOVED the conch fritters and beef pattes. He also gave us other recommendations for our visit and he wasn't wrong! We visited Mountain Top per his recommendation and the views were spectacular. Gerard, was the sweetest guide we could ask for and we only wish him the best.

Food and Culture Tour - This was a great walking tour and Jane is an amazing tour guide. Loved hearing about the island history and trying local foods. They were perfect portion sizes to enjoy without getting too full. The walk was very manageable for all ages. The age range for those in party was 40s - 60s. During the tour we had: - Raspberry Hisbus tea and Salt fish Patte with salad at E’s Garden Teahouse - Rum cake My Brothers Workshop (MBW) Cafe & Bakery - Callaloo Green Soup (spinach, kale, turkey base and okra); Fungi (Cornmal and Okra based dumpling); and Conch Fritter (shellfish) at Gladys - Beef Pate (Street Food Vendor) - Root beer float with Vanilla Rum at St John Brewers on the Waterfront I highly recommend this tour and the ending location is perfect for shopping afterwards.

Awesome tour! - Wonderful walking tour! Our guide, I believe his name was Gerard, was absolutely wonderful. The walk (with the heat) was a little tough for my grandma, but we took our time, stopped in shaded areas, and made it through. All the food was absolutely delicious!

Lovely local spots! - I loved that we visited local spots like My Brother’s Workshop, a nonprofit supporting youth, E’s Tea House with Ms. Judith, the famous Glady’s Cafe and St John’s Brewery. The tour guide was knowledgeable and we were able to speak with the people at these spots.
