Interesting and Informative. - We had a great time seeing the sights of Port of Spain.
Our guide was knowledgeable, amusing and willing to answer our daft questions.
The traffic was an issue but it didn't spoil our trip.

3+ hours in & around PoS - i was solo with another couple who came over from Tobago. The guide, Khaleel, was wonderful: he was well-informed, professional, and an excellent driver. He was respectful of our timing, our interests, and our circumstances, He added a lot to my experience and the experience of the couple who came over from Tobago.

You must take this tour with Ulric - We learned and saw so much on this tour with Ulric. He was very patient and full of information. You won't regret it. You experience the history, the people, the food and culture. It's an amazing island. The best treat of all was Richard's Bake and Shark. You can't go and not try it. I'm glad that I chose this private tour. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Personalised tour - Private tour not expected so a great experience. Very knowledgable lady driver from Trinidad who certainly knew the town. Fort George is a hair raising vertical drive up a single track road and totally unloved which is a shame but no reflection on our guide wh9 was excellent. Port of Spain itself is also a bit unloved but the whole personalised experience was great. Pick was from Hyatt hotel which is next to port entrance very easy to get to and ac and free Wi-Fi was very welcome.

Interesting but expensive - It was interesting to hear some of the history of the Port of Spain, although our guide need to know more facts abut the city.
didn't know when the Performing arts building was completed

No AC and beaten up vehicle - This trip was unbearable. The driver showed up in a very old vehicle with no AC. We had to drive around in no AC all day as there is hardly any walking on this tour. It was around 35degC. It was miserable.
Tour itself also lackluster. Facts given rapid fire and not very in-depth
