Food tours never disappoint!

If you have not done a food tour before- they are amazing! You get history and facts while enjoying local favorites! If you are looking at the price- trust me- it is worth it! Carol was amazing we had so much fun. We learned things on the tour that you could not learn on your own. My husband can be a picky eater and he loved everything. Go in hungry and thirsty!

Catalina Fun Food

You get more food than expected. The drinks were awesome. We even went back after the tour was over to get another one of the drinks. Carel was great - a native of the island with a lot of fun facts.
