What to do and see in Port of Spain, Trinidad: The Best Walking Tours

September 14, 2021 Lashaunda Abraham

Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago, has the tall buildings, neon lights and crowded streets of many cities, but also a multicultural Caribbean character and a homegrown calypso soundtrack. The best-known occasion is the flamboyant pre-Lenten Carnival. Among the city's other offerings are cricket and football matches, year-round festivals, a botanic garden, malls, an art and history museum and historic buildings. Entertainment options abound, but be cautious after dark.

Your 4-hour tour starts you off with a drive through a winding country road to visit a farmers' market located in a very scenic and lush valley This market focuses on organic produce and being environmentally friendly. Besides being able to do some shopping, you will also be enjoying some of the food the indigenous tribes used to eat. You will then be driven to the market town of Chaguanas where your senses will be enjoying the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes (so walk with an empty tummy!) You will be immersed in agricultural life in Trinidad while having brunch stops throughout the experience. We keep the tours small (no more than 6 persons) and lots of fun!

Inclusions: Beverages, Bottled water, Breakfast, Local guide, Photographs, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Transport by air-conditioned minivan

Exclusions: Gratuities

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.

It was an amazing experience. It was very informative, interesting and enjoyable. Our tour guide Carl was very knowledgable and we were well informed of the trees on the way and their uses. At the chocolate factory we learned how chocolate was made. My sons had a wonderful time making their own chocolate balls. Kelly, Carl and their staff were very friendly and accommodating. Lunch was muy delicioso. YUMMY! I would encourage others to visit and have this wonderful experience.

Enjoy this tour of Trinidad & Tobago's capital, Port of Spain, where its rich history is reflected in the daily lives of its citizens! Stroll through the bustling downtown along a promenade while hearing the tales of 19th Century architecture mixed in with modern buildings. You will visit a charming Woodford square, which is the lungs of the city and was the original town square. Your 4-hour experience will also take you to the uptown part of the city where you will see the glorious architecture of the Magnificent Seven, which were originally family homes built in the late 19th Century! You will visit our National Museum, where you will get a full guided tour, and the War Memorial, the Botanic Gardens, and a few other sites, all of which highlight our city's history and its richness in diversity; both in our people and in our religious beliefs. Our tour groups are kept small (no more than 6 people) to ensure a very personalised experience.

Inclusions: Bottled water, All activities, Local guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off (selected hotels only), Port pickup and drop-off, Transport by air-conditioned minivan
