Despite the fact that Covid-19 has drastically impacted tourism in Tobago and we had to get a later tour, our experience was not one to forget. Our driver arrived early and was very helpful and friendly. On the way to and from the tour, he gave us useful tips and pointed out scenic locations. He also made every effort to accommodate us. The bucco reef was beautiful and we got the chance to go snorkelling. Truly an amazing experience. Would definitely do it again.

I should start by saying, food tours are my thing so me saying this was the best food tour EVER is well-considered. I was in Trinidad alone for two nights and all I knew was that I wanted to eat doubles and have a roti. This was my first time to Trinidad & Tobago but I’m lucky enough to have had some great Trini’ food in London. Or so I thought! Turns out nothing tastes better than a Trini’ food tour, in Trinidad with a Trinidadian who has the tea on the very best places to eat. Firstly, Anthony is a gem. You’re in safe hands whether a solo traveller or in a group. His communication and helpfulness from immediate booking of the tour was great. I had the privilege of being the only person on my nighttime food tour - I think I might have been the last or one of the last tours before the pandemic hit full on in March 2020. In fact, the tour was one of the last things I did that was in the old normal! If there is ever a place where a carnivore could happily become vegan / vegetarian, it’s Trinidad. I had doubles, beef roti, corn soup, a pork cutter, soursop icecream and everything was incredible. Not to mention the great history of Trinidad, it’s people and its food, that Anthony will keep you entertained with. If you only go one one tour in Trindad, make it one with Trinidad Food Tours.

We had a layover on a Friday evening in Port of Spain so we booked the food tour with Mitch. First of all, Mitch is very friendly and intelligent and instantly brings a sense of calm and feeling of being safe. He’s great! He gave us so much information about the country that we would have never known. The food was FANTASTIC... especially Doubles!!! Mitch makes sure you’re comfortable and having a good time and makes plenty of stops between food to have a drink at local bars. I love that he joined us in eating throughout the night, he was enjoying the food right along side us. Definitely a great way to spend your layover!!

A scenic drive along the North Coast road offers the most spectacular panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. At the Maracas Lookout you can take photos and enjoy a local snack like pineapple chutney, at your own expense. Continue along the beautiful coast passing busy Maracas Bay en route to the more sheltered, calmer Las Cuevas Bay. Enjoy the quiet waters of this 2.2 km (1.36mi) long beach that is excellent for swimming. If time allows you can stop at Maracas for a taste of the famous Bake and Fish sandwich. Paradise found.
