What a wonderful morning! Vernell gave us a guided food tour of Castries market, which started with a very welcome fresh coconut water! We encountered so many new fruit and vegetables, tasting as we went along, and even sampled some rum and sweet treats before being given lunch at a street restaurant. Very informative and enjoyable! We even went back to the ship laden with delicious mangoes, which we enjoyed over the next couple of days. Highly recommend - great value for money - thank you, City Walkers!
Sounds like you had a ball! Love it. Glad that you both thoroughly enjoyed our excursion. Thanks for joining us and thank you for this feedback.
I was very surprised to find that I was the only person doing this tour and that it had not been cancelled. One on one meant no rushing and more time for talk. Slow walk shoeing historical points allowing for photos. Food tasting in markets was a great experience. Guide gave particular attention to cleanliness. All food tasting was included, even lunch from a local food kitchen and bakery as well as food and spice markets. Enjoyed every minute
We glad that you loved the vibe and appreciated every bit of it. Even if we have only one person to share the experience with, we are ecstatic to do so. If it is worth it for you to book with us, it's 5x more worth it for us to show you a good time. Thank you for spending time with us and we're glad that you came.
Georgie was our guide. We found him to be very nice and knowledgeable. This was a nice way to get our bearings with Castries and to learn a little bit about the city center. He was great about listening and personalizing the tour as he discovered our interests. We would definitely recommend!
Thank you for spending time with us recommending us to others.
I highly recommend this experience and especially Georges our tour guide! I learned so much about Castries history and St Lucia history in general. Georges was so patient and knowledgeable. We also tasted great food! I absolutely loved this experience! Thank you again Georges!
Thank you for your honest feedback and kind review. We're happy that you enjoyed it.
This walking food tour was one of the highlights of our trip! Our guide George was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate…not just about the food, but also the local history and culture. Every stop on the tour offered something unique and delicious, and we got to try a wide variety of authentic local dishes we probably wouldn’t have found on our own. The pacing was perfect. We also loved the personal stories and insider tips shared along the way, they made the experience feel really special. It truly felt like walking through the city with a local friend who knew all the best spots. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves great food, good conversation, and get a real taste of the city!
This is what it’s all about. Thank you kindly for giving feedback and sharing your experience. We’re glad that you had a wonderful time.
George was very pleasant and showed us interesting things. He couldn’t answer all our questions and needs to expand history facts! An enjoyable tour.
Thank you for your feedback. We greatly appreciate it.
We did the history and food tour. Castries has very little visible history left after disastrous fires. Anything that is included on the tour is completely accessible without a guide and the information is basic and easily googled. Some information is actually incorrect, eg, The Nobel Prize is not awarded by the Queen. The day we did our tour was extremely hot, the guide made no attempt to explain things in shady areas but talked as we walked along busy roads. He seemed unaware that the person walking behind could not hear what he was saying.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback. We do well to continually try to improve customer experience. In this instance however, we must say that your review is frivolous in nature and reflects your mood, not our excursion. We are sorry that there weren't castles and manors, forts and museums for you to explore. Maybe our history didn't dazzle you but it is still our history. Your melancholic mood was unfortunate. Hopefully you enjoyed other aspects of our island and the remnants of it's colonial past. You made no mention of the food aspect of the tour but I guess it wouldn't have justified your review. Thank you for your time.
Me and kids (8 and 10 yo) sampled fruits, coconuts, juices and sweets. Kids tried all of the things and liked some :-) they even “ventured” and tried some savoury dishes as well ! George , our guide , was very protective, accommodating , caring and tried to make this an enjoyable experience! We go to this market every year and it’s always a very nice experience!
Thank you so much. He was happy to see the kids enjoy themselves and he said that you were were excited to be there. We appreciate that kind of excitement towards the local market. Thank you for visiting and thank you for choosing to spend time with us!
George, our tour guide from City Walkers, was exceptional in the way that he informed us of the history of Saint Lucia and Castries specifically. His in-depth knowledge and energy was on full display as he navigated us towards the major historical sights. Not only did we see Castries' beautiful landmarks, but he took us on a food adventure which saw us partaking in a number of local delicacies and exotic fruits. Every food request that we made he did his best to accommodate. Would highly recommend George for your next tour in Castries
So grateful for this review. Thank you for sharing with others how much you enjoyed this experience. George will be pleased to see this. Thank you for spending time with us. We appreciate it!
This was a great tour to actually learn about what goes on in the island, to learn about authentic St. Lucian food and learn about fruits that aren't available or common in the US, and to learn about arts and crafts that are common in St. Lucia. I would recommend this tour for anyone staying in a resort since you can't get this experience staying in a resort.
Thank you for the feedback and recommending us to others. We are ecstatic that you enjoyed our excursion. Thank you for spending time with us!
