Absolutely amazing experience. Informative, the tour guide is native so all of the historical knowledge and connectivity with the food was great.
Not to mention the food itself was great. Do yourself a favor and pace yourself till the end or you may regret it lol
Highly recommend this tour.

Great and interesting tour with Bert. Not only tasted many tastes of Curacao but learned a lot from Bert. And yes, we ended full and happy :).
What a phenomenal way to see the island, the culture, and all the delicious food! We had ages ranging from 13 to 63, and this was everyone’s favorite thing we did. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Hi Brittany, thank you for this review! Really appreciate it! Glad to know you all enjoyed the tour!
We had a great time trying some Amazing local food! Having a private tour let us go at our own pace which made for a fun and relaxing day. We definitely did not leave hungry!!

Hi Christina, thank you so much for the review! Truly appreciate this! Glad to know you enjoyed it!
Bart was a great guide! Very informative and kept us comfortable traveling place to place in the AC of his car. We ate new and interesting foods from local restaurants and really had the experience we were hoping to have. Tried ox tail and goat! Both surprisingly good. Had the island version of Chinese (different and good) and ate that at a shaded park by the beautiful blue water. Great experience!

Hi Kristi, thank you for the review! Really appreciate this and glad to know you enjoyed the tour!
Really great experience! We went back to multiple restaurants we visted during this tour. I recommend doing this at the start of your trip! It helps you get the lay of the land and you get to find all the popular local spots! Highly recommend!

Hi Meaghan, thank you for the review! Really appreciate this! Glad to know you enjoyed the tour and the food!
Bart was an excellent guide and this should really be renamed a food and cultural tour as he was very knowledgeable about the local culture. We had tons of food stops from start to finish around the island starting with a fresh fruit batido (shake/smoothie) within a 5 minute walk from our hotel. We were completely full when we finished off the tour and all the local food was excellent. Would highly recommend this tour!

Hi Mark, thank you so much for the review! Really appreciate it and glad to know you enjoyed the tour!
Going through different parts of Williamstead in his personal car, our guide as a fourth generation local led us to his favorite family spots for local favorites. We traveled from rif fort and ortrabanda to Salina and to Punda experiencing breakfast, lunch and dinner time type meals with snacks and drinks along the way. He was personable, and gave us a closer glimpse into daily life as a local that you would never get from a larger tour group. We loved feeling like locals and seeing how his connections as a local got us the “in” at prime spots. The food was incredible every place we went, being reminded that our job wasn’t to finish it all. This tour was a memory for a lifetime that we will share for years to come.

Hi Ashley, thank you so much for the review! Really appreciate this! Glad to know you enjoyed the tour.
We had a great tour. The food was fresh and we went to places where locals would eat. Bart was a great guide, friendly and personable, he will not steer you wrong. You are missing out if you don’t try the local dishes. We enjoyed the sate and potatoes so much we ordered more of it for our last dinner on the island. I teach people how to communicate and relate to others in the work world and Bart is great at connecting with people and showing you the best of what the culture has to offer.

Dear Gordon, thank you so much for the review! Really appreciate this! Glad to know you enjoyed the food and the tour!
This tour was so much fun! Not only did we get to try great food but we got to learn a lot about Curaçao. We saw a bunch of artwork and got to take the “touristy” pictures too. The food was amazing and we loved having the intimate, private tour vibe. The locals love and respect Bart. We even got the chance to be on the Terrace Plaza Sports Bar IG page to review the pastechi.
He did a really good job at tying in all of the different culture influences on the food we tried. We would definitely recommend if you are coming to Curaçao!

Thank you for the review Ashley. Really appreciate it! Glad to know you enjoyed the tour!
Wonderful food tour with Bart! So much history of the beautiful country coupled with delicious, local food & drink. Bart was a fabulous guide! Couldn’t imagine the Curaçao food tour with anyone else as he takes such great care to highlight the local food experience! Loved every spot we visited and enjoyed amazing food and drink. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the island! It was our friends’ fifth visit, and they also thoroughly enjoyed it! Tip: book early & take the tour early in your visit so you know where to eat the rest of your trip! Thank you, Bart!

Hi Deanne,
Thank you so much for the awesome review! Truly appreciate it! Glad to know you all enjoyed the tour!
You will enjoy the experience. The guide is very knowledgeable about the history of Curacao and the food was very good.

Hi John, thank you for the review! Really appreciate it!
Bart is a great tour guide! He is a native so is knowledgeable about the island and its history, culture and food. His food recommendations were excellent giving us a true sense of local cuisine from multiple places around the island. By chance, we got to meet his two young, remarkable boys and their grandfather while they were fishing. It was a pleasant difference from taking a large group cruise tour. We highly recommend.

HI Tina, thank you so much for the review! Truly appreciate this! Glad to know you enjoyed the tour!
Bart was awesome! So much more than a food tour. It was a culture tour as well. I went on several tours during my vacation and this one was the best! Don't settle for any other food tour.

Hi Rob, thank you for the review! Really appreciate it!
Our experience in Curacao was taken to a whole new level thanks to Bart. He is very well informed and knowledgeable on the culture and history, very well connected to the local shops and restaurants, and above all else just a genuinely good guide. We went on this tour expecting to try new foods, which we did, but the tour was much more than just trying food thanks to the visible love Bart has for Curacao!
We went to five food stops trying something new at each place. In between and during the stops is when we learned about not only the food culture and history but also the country. Which continued at the blue Curacao distillery. We were also able to stop and get some touristy photos!
Long story short, I would book this tour all over again just to relive the experience

Hi Sydney, thank you for the awesome review! Really appreciate it! Glad to know you enjoyed the tour!
This fantastic food tour with Bart was one of the best things you can do for yourself, when in Curacao. Bart is born and raised in Curacao and was great at introducing us to the culture, history and flavor of his island. He takes you where the locals go, which in my opinion, is always the best. We give this tour 5 stars, but, I would give more if I could.

Hi Jennifer, thank you for the awesome review! Really means a lot! Glad to know you enjoyed the tour!
We had a great time on this tour with Bart. Bart is very knowledgeable about the history of the island and he answered all our questions. He is also very friendly and engages the tour guests. The food was also delicious. Definitely one of the best food tours we have done in our travels!

Hi Luis, thank you for the review. Really appreciate it! Glad to know you enjoyed the tour!
This was a FANTASTIC way to take in not only amazing local food, but also local history! Bart was an outstanding guide. As a native to island he had many nuggets of information to share along our trip in addition to great relationships with local vendors to provide you with an authentic Curacao experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We have done food tour in multiple cities/countries… this one was TOP NOTCH and because it is private ( up to 4 ppl in a group) you are assured white glove treatment!

Great experience. Guide was a knowledgeable local. Food experience was great, but hearing the history about Curacao made the tour.

Hi Peggy, thank you for the review! Really appreciate it!
Bart was a fantastic host. The food was amazing - in fact it was the best we had the whole trip. It was a great way to see the island and the local culture. Highly recommend!

Hi Ashley, thank you for the review! Really appreciate it! Glad to know you enjoyed the tour!
The private food tour by Bart was amazing and exceeded any expectation. Thanks to him we did feel the culture of the island , tried the local tastes but also learned so much. One of us is local and still learned a lot more interesting facts. It is not a coincidence that this tour is highly rated, it is the passion and the effort that Bart had put into it. Thank you Bart! We had a very nice time! Highly recommended to everyone!

Great times. Bart was very knowledgeable about the island and history. It’s a plus that he’s also from Curaçao. The food selections were great. Highly recommended.

Thank you for the review, Marques! Really appreciate it!
I would have to say that this experience was a different one. Yes we had a good time but it rained on our parade which is extremely rare out here but we made the best of it. The food was great and the pastechi was delicious along with mom’s kitchen and a sweet lady by the way. Learned a lot about the history of curaçao and had a taste of the blue. Won’t disappoint trust……

Hi Sherman, thank you for the review!! Really appreciate it!
This is a great local food experience and tour with Bart, a 4th generation Curaçaoan. Picked us up right on time and we had lots of food to choose from plus a distillery tour. Bart took his time to explain some of the culture and origins of the areas and foods. Loved it and would definitely recommend.

Hi Bob, thank you so much for the tour! Really appreciate it! Glad to know you enjoyed the tour.
The tour was amazing and way more than we expected. Being born & raised on Curacao, Bart truly loves sharing this amazing island with his guests. Along with an exposer to the locals food and food joints, we we got an amazing personalized tour of both sides of the island. Bart's vast knowledge and love is real and personal as he talks about island history and development, the local residents giving back through the carnivals, the art and working to preserve the beauty of the island. Everywhere we went it was obviously that Bart was part of the community, including his Dad's favorite Sate ku Batata (Satay and Potatoes) place.
We highly recommend Bart and encourage anyone who want to see the real Curacao book this tour early, he has the kids in the afternoon so he only does one tour a day.

Hi Mark, thank you for the awesome review! Really appreciate it!
Happy that we did this experience, especially at the beginning of our vacation here.
The food is amazing, Bart told us no one has been able to finish everything, we had breakfast at 7am, the tour started at 9 30, we ate everything and did not feel like we could not eat anymore ;)
Smoothies at the first stop are fantastic, we had guava and mix.
Ox tail at the end is what we came for.
Highly recommend!

Hi Anna, thank you for the review! Truly appreciate it!
This tour was incredibly informative and a great way to experience the real Curaçao. Bart shared so much fascinating history about the island — from its culture and architecture to its local traditions — in a fun, engaging way. We loved trying authentic local foods and visiting spots we might have never found on our own. Bart made the experience personal, relaxed, and full of great conversation.
If you’re looking for a genuine taste of Curaçao — literally and culturally — this tour is a must! Highly recommend!

Hi Carolette, thank you for the review! Really appreciate it!
Bart was not just a tour guide, he was a host. He gave us an unprecedented tour of the unique cuisine that Curaçao has to offer. He told us the history of the foods we ate and also the community ways that the food is eaten. It was like a tour through his own home and kitchen. We loved every minute of this food tour and highly recommend it.
