A nice mix of culture and food! - We really enjoyed this tour. It gave us a great look at Marigot and explained where and what the locals eat. It was also a great way to kick off our stay in St. Martin. We were able to purchase spices and rums from local vendors which was a nice souvenir.

A Tour Worth Doing - Laurina was great! She had a lot of knowledge about the island history and took us to some local places where we are able to try food that they eat (and it was very good). We were surprised by her generosity as she gave us gifts as we progressed through the tour! That was very cool of her!

Local flavor - We loved the actual cafe stops for the Johnny cakes, tea and the other bakery. Food was local and delicious.. 4 stops, two were snacks, one was a spice vendor, and then a guava berry rum tasting. Lorena and her business island friendly is a perfect model for local island concept. She was also able to provide other tips for local food that we would not have discovered on our own..
