Jamaica Culinary Tours is the creation of two Jamaican sisters who love to travel and explore other countries and cultures through their cuisine. They took food tours all over the world — and then realised they had never done one right there in their own home country. They couldn't find a tour that captured the energy, excitement and diversity that is Jamaica, so they decided to create it themselves.

Pulling together their love for history, culture and food, Anne and Janet built culinary experiences dedicated to sharing the story of the Jamaican people through its diverse flavours and traditions. The proof was in the eating: their original Falmouth Food Tour earned recognition as the Most Authentic Jamaican Attraction in 2017 and consistently attracted five-star reviews on TripAdvisor — with guests from around the world describing it as the highlight of their Jamaica visit.

Now, building on that award-winning foundation, the sisters are taking Jamaica Culinary Tours in an exciting new direction — moving beyond Falmouth to bring the same spirit of authentic discovery to new communities and regions across the island.

Anne and Janet grew up in a multicultural household where entertaining visitors from other countries was simply part of life. They grew to love showing off their beautiful island and its culture, and their tours reflect that — small, relaxed and intimate, designed to feel less like a tourist excursion and more like being taken around by a knowledgeable local friend.

The sisters deliberately partner with small operators and family-run businesses, because they believe that the best way to experience Jamaica is through the people who live it every day. Jamaicans have a tradition of inviting you to sample their cooking — to taste their hand — and that is exactly what you will do as you meet the vendors, producers and community members who bring each tour to life.

They know where the real food is. And they can't wait to show you.
