Tiffany was fantastic and the best host you could ever ask for. She was very personable, and thorough with her explanations of the various food, culture and history of Antigua. The food we had was delicious at every stop and we had a good diversity of foods as well. We felt like we got a true taste of the culture here and it makes us want to come back. This experience was better than anything I’ve experienced before through a cruise excursion and would highly recommend this if you’re stopping at the St. John’s port. I would recommend more water and drink stops and offerings along the way as it can be a hot and long walk going to each restaurant.

Lots of walking..wear comfortable shoes. Pavement uneven!
Lots of food, be hungry. Mali was an excellent guide.
Kevin_O, Mar 2026
Our guide Malie was very pleasant and informative. The first stop for the rum punch was nice (big banana). Cutie's was excellent. The "Juice Man" and the "Soup man" were both good. Rest of tour ok. If you are older or struggle getting around, this tour may not be for you. Streets and sidewalks of St John aren't always easily walkable.
Tour gave us a taste of the local flavor, which was good. Not sure I would give it more than 3 stars.

Thank you for joining our Eat n’ Lime -City Lime Food Tour and for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed several of the stops along the way tasting our culture, including the rum punch at Big Banana, Cutie’s, the “Juice Man”, and the “Soup Man”. We’re also glad that you found Malie to be pleasant and informative during the experience.
Our tours take place in the historic streets of St. John’s and involve walking between several local establishments in the city. While we do our best to keep the pace comfortable, the sidewalks and streets in the downtown area can sometimes be uneven, which is why we encourage guests to wear comfortable walking shoes.
We truly appreciate you joining us and are glad you were able to enjoy a taste of Antigua’s local flavors.

As a foodie you could not want for a better tour, we stopped at 7 locations where we experienced local food, juices at there best. The only reason we have not given it a better score was we didn't feel our guide on the day gave us a "feeling" for the island and it's food.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for joining our Eat n’ Lime -City Lime Food Tour and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed visiting the seven local stops and experiencing some of Antigua’s delicious food and juices.
We appreciate your comments regarding the overall “feeling” of the tour. The guide on that day, Malie, is currently still in training as part of our effort to grow our team while maintaining the quality of the experience we offer. Feedback like yours is very helpful as we continue mentoring and developing our guides so that they can better convey the stories, culture, and spirit of Antigua that we aim to share with every guest.
Thank you again for joining us and for highlighting the food experience along the way.

The streets are very uneven so be prepared. The people are fantastic. The tour covers a small geographic area but is very interesting. When they say the hot sauce is ‘hot’, believe them! Our guide Malie was a treat - young, enthusiastic and very knowledgable.

Our first food tour experience was exceptional. Malie, our host, was friendly and fun, and introduced us to Antiguan food we would not have discovered on our own. We tried old fashioned rum punch, mussels and fungi, fruit smoothie, deeply flavorful soup, curry roti, Sunday cheese bread, and rastafari fritters. The flavors were amazing, and the restaurant folks welcoming. Highly recommend for experiencing Antiguan flavor. (We even returned to the Big Banana for another rum punch!)
Gill_B, Feb 2026
Thank you Tiffany for a great tour. Very knowledgeable of the island. The food we had was amazing, did not have a favorite as all the dishes given to us were tasty. Rum punch went down very well. ;). Thank you Malie for the chats we had along the way.
Wear comfy shoes. Recommend doing this tour, you will not be disappointed.
Susie_O, Feb 2026
We had a great time walking around St. John's eating local foods. Foods we would not have had otherwise. Tiffany is a fun tour guide with many great stories to share. Her love of food and passion for the country she lives in makes the whole experience fantastic! Come hungry, she will fill you up!

This tour was a fantastic way to not only experience Antiguan food, but also explore and learn about the capital of St. John’s. We had local food from seven different local food establishments, and each one was delicious! Bring your appetite! Tiffany was an awesome tour guide and gave us insights that we would never have discovered otherwise. Thank you Tiffany! And if you can, consider booking on Fridays as that’s when there are no cruise ships docking in St John’s. The crowds were very light on Friday.
Overall, highly recommended!

Can be a challenge to walk, sidewalks and curbs are not for the faint of heart. The food was very enjoyable except for the last stop.

Tiffany was a great tour guide. We got to experience an authentic cultural atmosphere and even though it rained on and off during the tour, we had an excellent time and highly recommend this tour.
