Great Tour - We got lucky in more ways than one with this tour. Our other excursion emailed us at 8pm the following evening canceling our trip. My wife and I quickly jumped online to try and find an alternative as the next day was the last before we had to travel home. This tour had the most positive reviews and was a great price. We had Jason as our driver and he was fantastic especially if you like old western music like us Texans did. He asked us exactly where we'd like to go and asked questions about things we enjoyed and had some great suggestions along the way. He was very friendly, witty and is a pro at taking the best camera shots of your experiences.

Beautiful views - We had an amazing time with our guide Richard. He took us to all the hot spots but also made sure we saw the island from a locals perspective. I loved this specific tour because it can be customized to your interests. Whatever you want to see, your guide will make sure you do. Our guide also knew so much history which was awesome to learn about. I would def recommend this tour. Make sure you ask for Richard, he was truly the best!

Ask for Viernele! - Viernele Pinder was our driver, he collected us from the airport and made us feel so comfortable and at ease! We booked an excursion with him based on this initial trip and we definitely made the right decision! He was better than we could have imagined or asked for! Thank you so much for making our honeymoon!

Great trip and guide - Viernele was so great and made our trip! He was open to customizing the trip, helpful sharing things he thought we would like, and a really good driver (lots of windy roads to navigate). He showed us so much and really made a wonderful experience for us in St. Lucia!

Beautiful St Lucia private tour - We just recently stared doing tours on vacation. It’s a great way to learn the history of the area and everyone gets to enjoy the breathtaking St Lucia. Our guide, Richard was fantastic. He asked us what we wanted to do which was the mud bath, waterfall, rum distillery, and shopping…and off we went. He brought to an authentic market..Natives mostly handmade souvenirs and fresh fruit market..next stop rum distillery…O M G. For $6 you can sample up to 22 bottles of rum… if you dare..lol… next the mud bath..which I highly recommend.. who doesn’t like to get a little dirty🤣 then the waterfall to clean up…from 100 degrees to what felt like 30 (slight exaggeration on the 30) then he brought us to a beautiful open air restaurant over looking the pitons and ocean. It was an authentic Cajun buffet for $20..then a surprise stop at an upscale chocolate factory…yummmmmy. Richard picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. He was very knowledgeable and pointed out area sites and explained the history. We would not have known what we were looking at otherwise and having a driver for those curvy mountainous roads was a bonus! Highly recommend 🥰

Expensive personal tour - Our driver, Jason, was personable enoough. However, we felt that he was underprepared and relied more on us telling him what we wanted to do. We made the request, to stick to the suggested itinerary as stated in the tour information. The cost of the tour was quite expensive in itself and we were then taken to several vendors where we felt obliged to buy things and pay more money. The lunch was pretty average and for a private tour we felt it would have been nicer to be taken to a place that was not a buffet and served several big groups of people. The tour information also stated that beverages would be included. At no point during the 5-6 hour tour did Jason offer us anything to drink. Not even water! This was not acceptable.

Good but not outstanding - * Arrived on time, clean mini van but driver wasn’t very informative on long drive to most of the attractions on south side of island * Asked us what our interests where once we piled in but didn’t really give a good explanation of what the attractions experience would be like. A suggestion for tour operator to maybe incorporate a laminated brochure of the top attractions to help visitors visualize. * Our trip visited included: Botanical Garden and waterfall, Diamond Falls, Chocolate store. * Stopped for a buffet lunch that had a great view but food wasn’t that appealing and $20pp. Wish we could have stopped at a local restaurant or had time for lunch at one of the beautiful beaches we passed. * Driver seemed in a hurry to return to our hotel and didn’t talk much 2 hrs back. Not a tour if you wished to learn about the St Lucia culture and favor of the island. Overall it was a good trip for our group of 4 but not outstanding time.

Worste tour ever. Dont book. - Worst tour ive been on in St Lucia. From the start of hopping in the vehicle your your guide goes over your limitations and says we can go through sulfraire or to castries so if you choose 1 or 2 things in each place its not going to happen. So we decided the castries route, the entire time we were stopped and trying to be sold things the driver seemed to have his favorite places for us to stop and be petteled merchandise. We asked to stop and see vendors we wanted and the driver said no they have that at the market. We asked for refreshments that say are included and there were none in the car and non offered. We ended up at the castries market were things got worse our driver didn't go with us inside and just wanted to drop us off for a hour and a half and come back and pick us up, the entire time in the market is super sketchy and vendors trying to sell and hustle you especially without your tour guide with you it feels like being dropped off to be taken advantage of. When we got back to the meeting point from being dropped off 1 hour later we settled on we got back in the car and and I mentioned going to the diamond waterfall the driver said theres not enough time and wanted to get back to our hotel he seemed very put out as it states in the trip description its a 4 to 6 hour tour from the start I said I wanted to hit the project chocolate area and diamond waterfall, we did neither of those. This was a huge waste if our time and not worth booking. Upon drop off the driver opened the door and jumped back in his car to take off no good bye and no tip opportunity even given. Horrible booking.
