About This Tour in Trinidad

This is Port of Spain’s only food tour. It’s a journey into the real heartbeat of the city. We begin in the lively downtown area, strolling along the Brian Lara Promenade where everyday life unfolds around us. As you sample popular street foods made by local vendors, your guide shares stories of the city’s rich and diverse past, from African, Indian, Chinese, and European influences to Carnival traditions and independence. Your 3.5-hour experience also takes you to uptown Port of Spain, where the iconic Magnificent Seven, a row of elaborate colonial-era mansions, show off the city’s architectural history and wealth from the late 1800s. You’ll also pass major landmarks like the War Memorial, the peaceful Botanic Gardens, and historic places of worship that reflect the island’s deep religious and cultural diversity. This tour connects you to the people, history, and food that define Port of Spain. Come hungry for flavour and insight, you’ll leave with both.
