Highly recommend this food, history, culture, art, and a little Rayburn (Netflix's show Bloodline) sprinkled in tour. Very well informed tour guide. Among the favorite things we did on our trip to Hollywood and the Keys. Islamorada is fantastic and this tour hit all the great spots. Food was generous and absolutely delicious. A total highlight of our entire 8 days on vacation. Great customer service at each spot. We enjoyed the food so much that we returned a few days later on our way back from Key West to Hollywood to eat at two of the places again! Just a wonderful experience. We are seasoned food tour guests and this one was among the best we've done anywhere. If you do nothing else is Islamorada, do this food tour!

Nicole, thanks for sharing. I always love when seasoned food tour "foodies" appreciate the tour and to be ranked among the best you've done makes me smile too. Plus, I"m so happy to learn you loved the food so much you returned to locaitons from the tour to eat again on the drive back from Key West. We always aim to curate the best places and best tastes. All the best to you. -Craig

Wow! This was a fantastic tour!
My husband and I did the Islamorada Food Tour with Craig on February 18, 2022 and it was a blast. It's so much more than just a food tasting.
Craig took us on a walk-about of the mile or so area surrounding the Trading Post, starting at the park behind the library and ending at the World Wide Sportsman store. Here's just a sampling of what we enjoyed:
• Many, many stories of the history of Islamorada
• Wonderful small plates from several area spots. My favorite was the taco from Bad Boy Burrito, but the smoked fish dip at Islamorada Fish Company was a close second.
• A tasting from Florida Keys Brewing Company
• A visit to the gallery of the sea-life artist Pasta
• A stop at the Matecumbe United Methodist Church to admire and talk about their amazing stained glass windows. 

Craig was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and easy to talk with. I would recommend this experience highly.

This is the best food tour we’ve ever been on. We had some scheduling issues and I talked to Sheryl multiple times to adjust our scheduling and she was incredibly kind, helpful and accommodating.

Craig was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable on the food and history of the region. He was super funny and fun to spend the day with, also. We had a group of six and we had a lot of questions for him and he did not miss a beat. The food was all very good and none of us could choose a favorite because it was all so delicious. In addition to the food, we also toured the area and saw monuments and important landmarks. We also learned about plants and animals and saw a lot of local art.

We highly recommend this food tour and we highly recommend Craig!

So glad that you all rate our food tour the best you've been on. Yay us!!! We work hard to do our very best, and enjoy what we do. Craig is lots of fun, a wealth of information and we are happy that he's part of our team. Cheers! ~Sheryl

We recently did the Food tour again after last taking it in 2017. Wow - Craig delivered a great experience then and it is even better now! If I could give him a six star rating I would! At each stop he offered fun and interesting information while also taking time for questions. He didn't miss a beat and had great relationships with the staff in each restaurant which only added to the feeling of camaraderie and fun. Even if you've taken this tour in the past, I would recommend taking it again. You will learn something new as I did and have an amazing afternoon!

We have done multiple food tours. This was by far the best we’ve ever experienced. The tour guide Craig was so knowledgeable of the local cuisine and history of the area. The area has a very unique blend of Bahamian, Cuban and American cuisine. I would absolutely recommend any one passing through Islamorada take time for this food tour, and it’s one of a kind Matecumbe flavoring.

Well, we are so happy to hear that we did such a great job! Being a food tour junkie myself, it gives me great pride to hear that you think we are the best food tour you've ever taken. We work hard to keep things interesting, while teaching our guests as much as we can about our little island home. Our guides consistently keep things fun and interesting and we are grateful for them, for sure! We may be a small island, but we have so much to offer! Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review! Cheers! ~Sheryl

What a great time we had on our food tour. It started out with Marilee singing to us the background of Islamorada and the Florida Keys. What a great way to start. We had a beautiful day for walking, talking, eating, and drinking!!! Honestly, you get small plates at each restaurant and you are full by the end of your tour. Marilee was a great guide and very informative as well as attentive to the COVID guidelines. The next day we went back to the Shrimp Shack and had a wonderful dinner. You would not be disappointed with your time on this tour. Well worth the price!!!

Marilee herself is worth the tour. She has an amazing personality and very knowledgable about the area. We thoroughly enjoyed the "serenade" about the background of Islamorado and the Keys and all of the stories she told. And by the way, the food was great. Would definitely do it again.

Isn't Marilee fun? Did she sneak in the fact that she's appeared on The Price is Right twice? We think out guides are all wonderful! Thanks for taking the time to write a review. ~Sheryl

This was the first food tour that I've ever been on and it won't be my last! Craig was great - knowledgeable, friendly, interesting. I loved hearing his life story and learning about the history of the area. Oh, and the food! A great sampling of local cuisine - key lime pie, shrimp fritters, fish tacos, smoked fish dip, etc. And he turned me on to sour beer, which I look forward to trying again. I wish that we had taken the tour earlier in our trip - if we had, we would probably have also gone on the sunset happy hour tour, which sounded fabulous.

Thanks Valerie, appreciate the review and yes food tours are a great way to start a holiday in a location. So happy to hear you loved the tour, and will take more food tours in the future. And I am also happy to know you are now a beer (sour) drinker :-) I alwyas ask my tour to trust me and try the a sour from our brewery stop if they do not like beer and more times than not (almost always) - the people like it - and that's what a food tour is all about. Trying new tastes and learning culture through cuisine. Also, we look forward to taking you on the sunset tour next time we are in town. We will be waiting for your return to our paradise. Thanks again, -Craig

Our experience with Craig as our guide was outstanding. He took us to some places we would have never gone to on our own. Throughout the tour he gave us lots of history about Islamorada and shared interesting stories about the Florida Keys Life. All of the people he introduced us to along the way were very friendly and spent time with us giving us their story about living in Islamorada. We highly recommend this tour. All of the food along the way was great. Don't expect to go home hungry. Thanks Craig for a fun day!

My husband and I took the food tour with Craig in March of 2022! The food and drinks were delicious and we learned so much! Not only about the delicious food that is available in the area but so much history about the island. We went back to one of the restaurants for dinner that evening and enjoyed it so much! Thank you for offering this tour. I would advise people to book this early in your vacation so you know the great options that are available and you have time to enjoy!
