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!!
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!
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!
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!
Great Curaçao food tour with our host Bart. He started us off near Rif Fort with some smoothies and lil biscuits called Kala. They were tasty and filling. We walked around Otro Banda a little getting some town history to go along with our bites. We then crused over to Terrace Plaza and enjoyed some meat filled pastechi. After we went over to Punda for a tasty chicken and potato lunch, before heading to the Curaçao liquor distillery. We ended the tour with some exotic dishes at the Plasa Bieu. Highly recommend hanging out with Bart on this yummy tour.
Hi Louie, thank you so much for this review! Really appreciate it!
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!
