Milton was great! We had a lot of fun with him and learned a lot. One of us had food allergies and we let him know they would be fine skipping but he made sure that every restaurant accommodated them which was so kind. We highly recommend this tour with him!
Ms. Evey had a wealth of knowledge. Each food and liquor tour offers a unique experience. Unfortunately, there wasn't much alcohol, but the food was excellent. We walked through the business district of Aruba and learned about its history through the food, so it became a history lesson too. Be sure to wear your walking shoes.
Milton was the bomb. He was greatly informative of the Arubian culture and an awesome person to communicate with. 10 🌟
The food tour was great!! we got a sample a lot of Aruba’s food and drinks. I would highly recommend this tour and we are also looking forward to taking people next year. Thanks.
everything went as planned. very fun with the family
This is a walking tour through a small section of Oranjestad. The walk is easy, nothing too difficult, but wouldn't recommend for anyone with mobility issues. The food was hit or miss. Our first stop had a fish soup that was amazing. It came with funchi. Second stop was fried funchi and fish balls. Fried funchi was good (plain, but that's how it's meant to be) and the fish balls were only okay. The fish tasted like canned salmon or tuna. Third stop was a grouper ceviche and a meat dish over what seemed like polenta (meaning every plate we had was served with some sort of cornmeal based element). I don't even know what the meat dish was called. Last stop was a very good bread pudding. Our tour guide Marco was knowledgeable enough, but dry. It's a group dining experience, so I kind of expected him to encourage conversation among the guests, but we were left to our own devices. Also, there was almost no discussion of the history of the food or its impact on the region or local importance. Lastly, it was just a little awkward at times. There were several times that everyone is sitting around the table silent, looking to our guide to move us to the next spot or encourage conversation among the guests. If you didn't finish everything on your plate, you were questioned about why. We're trying to be polite, so who wants to sit there telling everyone why a dish isn't to your taste. I recognize it's good bread pudding, but I don't like bread pudding so I'm not going to eat all of it. At the end of the tour another guest had to ask where the different dishes we tried had come from. We got barely any description. For the lovely walk, and getting to try different foods, it was worth the price. But I didn't find it to be as enriching and fun as I'd hoped.
What a delightful evening we had with our guide, Marco. He was incredibly gracious and shared his knowledge about the island’s history, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The event was meticulously planned, featuring five intriguing restaurant samplings interspersed with leisurely strolls. It was also fun to meet others in our group. We are truly grateful for this wonderful experience. Thanks, Marco!!
Sure, our guide was a little dry but knowledgeable. The food was good not anything to brag about. The group we were with was quite entertaining.
The food was amazing. Learned the history of Aruba and saw all the downtown points of interest. Had a great host who shared all about Aruba and was a great dining companion!
We had an amazing time! Not only did we get to visit 4 different restaurants and try delicious foods, we learned so much about Aruba! Our guide, Milton was engaging, knowledgeable and so friendly! We ended up going back to 2 of the restaurants to eat during our trip. Would have gone back to all of them if we had more time, would highly recommend this tour!
