My sister and I were so excited to experience this tour on our vacation we talked about it all week just to end up being stood up by the tour guide. We paid a taxi to get there and sat outside for a half and hour. After calling the tour company a few times we eventually got through and was told the tour was cancelled and rescheduled to an earlier time. None of this information was obviously relayed to me. Thankfully the tour guide refunded me my cab fare but I’m now waiting for the full refund of the tour.

As the tour operator we too were disappointed. We immediately contacted Viator, with whom the tour was booked and reportedly rescheduled. We have no record of the rescheduling and have requested an explanation from Viator. (When a tour is rescheduled, we get an email. So far we cannot find one.) We immediately reimbursed the guest for their round trip cab fare and await response from Viator. If this is our mistake, we apologize and will reimburse immediately.We appreciate that the most important thing is the good use of your vacation time. Gerard Sperry

Not worth it!

We didn’t experience two shops tasting as they were closed. The guide should have prepared for alternate locations or used stricter time management between venues. We sat, without eating (ate and begin to look around waiting) way to long at the two spots we did visited resulting in us missing other paid experiences. At this point, the guide left the restaurant and came back with purchase goods from some where. Then she saw someone she knew at the last stop and commenced to having a conversation with said person, while we all just looked around and stare. Truly, unprofessional, inattentive and 3 hrs we spent wasted. This wasn’t worth the money spent, and my husband and I were extremely hungry.

I learned a lot about downtown STT and the historic landmarks! The stopovers were fun especially the local food we tried. Jane was very knowledgable, informative, and approachable. She handled the group pretty well and had a lot of recommendations on where to go around the area. Thank you so much!

This was a really awesome experience. Our guide was easy to find and was very accommodating, considering our taxi was running late. The tour was very informative. We took beautiful photos and ate so many great foods. The other reviews were correct: don't grab breakfast. You'll want to be able to eat and enjoy all these foods.
