This was one of the best tours we've ever been on! The guide, Tammy was
professional and incredibly knowledgeable about the city's history.
The food stops were outstanding; all local places that a visitor would just walk by.
Some required climbing steps, but were well worth it for the special finds.
Robby our driver is very proud of his city and country, and he made the tour memorable through his enthusiasm and
personal stories
We would highly recommend taking This tour.

Who doesn't like to eat?!? And good food too! This tour was fun and each stop provided a little more than just a sample. Food was amazing and we learned a lot along the way!
Our guide Janelle was full of information about the Bajan food and culture. We really enjoyed this tour and learned a lot, plus had some really tasty samples and full meals of local foods.
My wife, teenage son, and I did this tour in July, and it was awesome. This was our first full day in Barbados and a great way to experience the local culture and not feel like a tourist. The food was all so good - every spot was somewhere that we wouldn't have known to go to on our own. There were 6! different places for food, and two of them were full meals - we took plenty of food back with us, it was enough for dinner later in the day, and for some snacking over the next few days. Perhaps the best food was a fritter place, it was so delicious.
The sights and culture were about as good as the food. We walked through some really cool places. National Heroes Square has some great monuments, and the guide explained much of it to us. Walking around Swan Street market was really nice to see and experience. We were seemingly the only tourists there.
We really experienced local culture this way - just about everywhere we went, it was crowded with locals, and almost no tourists.
This is a must do in Barbados.
Thalia trip was not only great for the food, but the tour guide Janelle was knowledgeable, kind, helpful and generous. She gave a great history lesson on Barbados and the food. The tour driver Brian also was on time and also knowledgeable about the route and showed us relevant information too and from the tour spot
The guide was amazing. The authentic experience was phenomenal, something I would highly recommend to people visiting, and it was also recommended by locals.
Great tour. I highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide Tamara was great! The food samples were fulfilling. I will definitely be doing the tour again on my next visit to Barbados.
Tour was good! The tour guides need to have some rum! LOL would have liked to try some pastries but it was a good overall town of Bridgetown too
Had an amazing experience with this excursion. I went solo as well and everyone was nice. Definitely learned a lot about the country while trying delicious food.
Paulette was such a wonderful tour guide! She was so kind and informative! The food was absolutely phenomenal so make sure you come ready to eat like a Bajan!!
Paulette was the best tour guide! Friendly, funny, & informative. I would highly recommend & do the tour again. Warning-come hungry. Lots of food served. Save room for the dessert at the end!
Tammy is an excellent host and made sure that she incorporated her own roots into the historical stories that she shares. Food was
Plentiful- full plates plus bit size snacks! Highly recommend!
This was the best tour ever. I loved our tour lady. I forgot her name but she’s amazing. It was literally all in one plus food lol. We got to walk around the city and learn about Barbados history while we ate😁. I really hope the business thrives forever❤️
This food tour was a lot of fun. Paulette was amazing, informative, and entertaining. The food was all delicious and seemed to never stop... COME HUNGRY AND BE PREPARED FOR LEFTOVERS!
First time visiting Barbados and happy we booked tour. Our guide Jenelle was great, very informative and fun. She's was full of knowledge. Food was delicious!!!
This was a perfect, safe, informative, simple way to visit the city ! We were picked up from our resort hotel and dropped back off on time with no issues. We were fed great !!! Shout out to Juliet & Tamara who took led here and guided us. Highly recommend doing this if you want to explore safely !
You will receive a historical and local food tour filled with amazing origin stories of the amazing food in Barbados! I highly recommend it!
This was a great travel experience ,to get to know the island to taste and enjoy the great food. Also too find out the history of the island. To see where the people shop and eat why they eat and how they spice up their food.
Such a beautiful experience. We were a few minutes behind yet they looked and waited for us. Our tour operator was Paulette, she was such a pleasure. I’d come again for sure not only for the vibes but for her great hospitality. Outside of eating I learned a bit more about Barbados that I did not know prior.
I highly recommend the walking food tour. We got the opportunity to try numerous local cuisine, trying out different dishes which I really appreciated. We also enjoyed the sight seeing and touring of Bridgetown. Tamara was our guide and she was awesome. Gave lots of education info regarding some of the history of the island, explanation of local monuments and other structures.
Great way to enjoy Bajan cuisine and culture over the course of a morning. Our guide stopped at various local food spots, where we enjoyed a wide variety of local dishes, topped off with sorrel for a refreshing end!
The Foodie tour was fun! Paulette was our guide. She was super friendly, knowledgeable, gave great historical information and was upbeat! There was a wide variety of food, more than we could eat. Initially, there was a mix-up with being picked up but staff worked hard to rectify the situation and held the tour so we wouldn’t miss it!!! I highly recommend this tour!
We had a really great experience during this food tour. Both our driver and tour guide were amazing and so personable.
We also traveled with a two year old and our tour guide, Shari, was the BEST with her. We would definitely recommend this tour to learn about the history of Barbados through bajan cuisine.
Excellent walking food tour, Janelle was very knowledgeable about everything including local history. We got to try so much food we had not yet had the opportunity to try on our holiday. Would recommend for a real bajan food experience.
Paulette was a gem! She told us about not only the history of Barbados, but also how food deeply influenced the culture. And she gave us more food than we could eat…we had take-away bags! Wonderful tour!
Really fun and informative tour. Our guide Janelle was extremely knowledgeable about Barbados history and history of Baja’s cuisine. We really enjoyed all the different kinds of local foods during our tour.
Our amazing guide Paulette took us on a fantastic tour. Not only did we sample a lot ( and I mean a lot) of delicious local food but she shared really interesting information about the country, its history and culture with much enthusiasm. We had a fab time, thanks. ☺️
It was fantastic. Be prepared to walk, sweat, and eat like a Bajan. You’ll walk away with more than you can eat and you’ll learn lots of history and about the local diet. My wife and I loved it and our guide Paulette was the best.
The Perfect Blend of History, Culture, and Delicious Island Eats
We booked this food and history tour with friends to learn about Barbados' culture and sample some of their popular dishes. Our tour guide, Tammy, was fantastic! She was fun, incredibly knowledgeable, and perfectly matched the pace of our group.
The guided walking tour took us through historic Bridgetown, where we tried over 6 island favorites. We stopped at a bakery to try beef pie, currant rolls, and sweet bread, and at another location, we sampled classic saltfish fritters and a nice rice dish with BBQ chicken. After stopping at a few other places, we ended the tour at an ice cream shop, which was perfect in the hot sun.
along the way, Tammy shared fascinating stories about Barbadian history and gave us excellent insider recommendations on where to eat and what to order for the rest of our trip. I definitely recommend this tour if you are into food and history!
Make sure you come to this tour hungry. There's a lot of food to eat! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and had a lot of information. Not the best food tour I've been on, but only because the town was a little...how do I put it...shanti.
Paulette was our amazing guide today. She was so engaging, so knowledgeable about the history and the food. Loved that we got to see the "real side" of Barbados. I'd highly recommend going on this tour, and you're in for a treat if Paulette is your guide. 10/10
