Description

Good to Know

Taste traditional favorites such as hearty stews, and slow-cooked meals that reflect the fusion of African and Caribbean influences developed in that era. Meet local cooks and artisans who proudly share the stories and traditions behind these dishes, each bite offering a genuine connection to Curaçao’s history and soul. Our final stop immerses you in the soul of Curaçaoan culture. Discover the meaning behind our traditional dresses, the art of the headscarf (angisa), and the stories they tell. Solo traveler?

Great walking tour

She was very nice and informative. The tasting was delicious. We were provided water, a fan, and ear piece so we could all hear.

So so tour

The rum tasting was unavailable. The other food places were mediocre . The tour only so - so. The tour guide kept telling us he needed this job to pay for university. I am not interested in why he has the job

Response from ViatorApril 08, 2025

Dear Leigh… this review shocked us. First of all, you're confused about this tour. Taste Sensation doesn't include rum tasting. Only the Royal Trip tour includes rum tasting. Could you please read the detailed information for the tours you book before writing a bad review? The restaurant is a old market; the name says it all! It's been around for many years, and this market has several stalls selling local food. We're sorry our local place didn't meet your expectations. Our tour guide explained that if anyone asked him why he did this job, he would answer honestly, and for us, honesty goes a long way.
