Turned an annoying hotel transfer into a day to remember - We had booked a split stay with two hotels on opposite sides of the Island. Booking this private trip allowed us to take a very annoying transfer (and a mostly wasted transfer day) and turn it into a highlight from our trip. We were able to make numerous stops along the way, including the mud baths, waterfall, and viewpoint, get souvenirs from local vendors, and see so many different parts of the island.

Fantastic day out - Booked this trip a couple of weeks before we travelled, the contact with Nio Rose was fantastic and gave us loads of information of what we could include in our day. The day started with a trip down to Soufriere, stopping at a wood carving shop(beautiful carvings but need a very large suitcase and bank balance to buy the larger items), a chocolate factory (very yum and the scented candles are gorgeous) and various view points. We then did the Tet Paul Nature Trail, our guide was so knowledgeable and took so many fantastic photos of us with The Pitons in the background. Really easy trail and the views were stunning. Next we visited the mud baths, absolutely lovely and skin felt amazing afterwards. I would recommend wearing old swim wear as the smell of the sulphur does linger. The mud was washed off in a visit to one of the local waterfalls. After this we visited the botanical gardens, which were beautiful and included the diamond waterfalls. Then it was off to lunch with the most stunning views of Petite Piton and Soufriere. It was a buffet lunch but delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our day, and would highly recommend

Charles the Best guide of St Lucia - Charles took us on a six hour trip in the south area of st. Lucia. We shared a list of places we were interested in and asked his advice on the most efficient order to see them. It was just what we hoped for. And he took us to this great local restaurant at the top of a mountain with lovely breezes and a close view of the Pitons. He found us a market where we bought mangoes, cinnamon and nutmeg plus chocolate. We hiked, we saw waterfalls, we saw an open volcano …we just had a great time. Highly recommend this tour! And Charles!

Great way to see scenic areas of St. Lucia - Naomi was an excellent local guide who provided a personal tour, guided to our interests and her suggested itineraries. She was friendly and knowledgable, and took us to many scenic areas near and around Soufriere, Castries, and Caneries. She stopped for numerous photo opportunities, and offered to take many photos of my husband and me. A highlight of our visit was theTet Paul Nature Trail. This was a very worthwhile hike that was led by Jamal, who provided excellent information about the Pitons and the surrounding area. His knowledge of the native plants, and the local history was terrific, and he made the tour fun for both of us. The views were spectacular. This was the best place for photos of the island that we experienced. We stopped for a delicious hotdog with a local vendor, Alec, who was also very friendly. We only had 1 objection. The tour starting time was delayed due to an issue with transportation and traffic, but we did end up with a full day of activities. One suggestion would be that the Chocolate Store should have provided samples of their products. The stop is a very nice store with a good view. We were told that they had no samples since they recently had a cruise tour group stop by.
