Chef was a great your guide. She was very attentive to our wishes. When only 1 person of 6 wanted to go to the beach and only for a few minutes, she was quite willing to switch beaches so that the other 5 of us didn't have to pay for beach access that we wouldn't use.
She told us a great deal about the island as she drove those narrow, steep roads so ably.

This was a great tour! Informative and interesting. Our tour guide was really terrific. The booking was changed because they couldn't make our last minute request work, so we reached for the next day via Whatsapp. This was super helpful because we had some othr things scheduled, and the tour company was able to tailor the tour to our needs. They even ended up dropping us off at the ferry terminal instead of back at the hotel which saved us time and a taxi fare.

A little of everything on the island. Exceptional tour guide.(Chefrene). Beach, botanical garden, mountains.

Very well organised. A variety of scenic stops. Addition costs to get into Botanical Gardens and the private beach. The guides were very knowledgable and friendly. I recommend this excursion.

Berris our guide was fantastic, his knowledge and pride in his homeland was brilliant.
It is important to visit the historic and cultural places when visiting the beautiful Caribbean islands and this tour was very informative
Alan_D, Jan 2025
Brilliant trip although drive to fort is not for the faint hearted. Javon was great guide and Dino the driver was excellent. This really was a super trip although could have done with more time at Botanical gardens. Still great value thoroughly recommend for cruise passengers.

The tour was organized and the staff, the guide and driver, the latter named Big Up, were friendly and professional. I recommend this tour.
I recommend using a microphone system on the van to ensure all can hear what the guide and driver are saying.
Alan_C, Dec 2024
It was enjoyable and the tour guide was quite knowledgeable and humourus. Some interesting sights and views. Didn't particularly enjoy the beach stop. But the rum punch and water was in good supply.

We were u sure about boiling this experience, fear not! It was a lovely trip and Jevon (guide) and Deano (driver) were very friendly and fantastic. The country was beautiful and Jevon and Deano made the trip, they went above and beyond responding to questions and telling us about their history. It was Boxing Day and they were happy to show us their country on a day everything would be at a standstill in the UK. Excellent trip, Botanical gardens were stunning. The Rum punch was to die for! Thank you.

I usually like to just relax in a hotel however my wife insisted on a tour and chose this one. I'm happy she did...it was a great day. Wayne was our tour guide and went out of his way to make us not only comfortable but see as much of the island that we could. We were the only ones on the tour so it was customized. He even stopped for us to get a bite which we greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this company and look forward to them expanding. If you are considering this company, give them a chance. You won't regret it.

Our guide was very friendly and informative throughout and listened to the views of our family and the couple on our trip as to how much time we spent at each location. The beach in particular was a highlight with plentiful inexpensive sunbeds available, great views of an island used in filming Pirates of the Caribbean. There were inexpensive water taxis available if we wished to visit the island.

Our tour guide (Shakira?) was professional, intelligent, knowledgeable and fun to be with. The stops and were nice, and her information made them very interesting. Please tell her Thanks from us!!!

Our guide Norris was great. He was on time at the cruise terminal and was attentive to our needs. This excursion was the best we had during our 12 day cruise
dbigpack, Feb 2020
The excursion went very smooth from the pickup at the cruise pier to the drop off back at the pier. Our driver was very informative and did a great job explaining the sites. The Botanical Garden is a real gem. It was on of the best I've been in.

We choose this tour through viator on a port day during our cruise ship. The meet up was just like it was stated during our reservation. The tour staff was professional and on time. The vehicle was very clean and maintained to the highest standard. But the driver was just okay and was friends...but I felt like the tour itself was just like a simple local taxi ride. I'd take the tour again, but I'm not sure the same driver.

Onze gids was super legde alles goed uit,over het fort vertelde ze alles . We waren maar met ons 2,en de gids.We hadden overal voldoende tijd om alles te bekijken in de botanische tuin

Au fort Charlotte, soit disant gratuit, on nous impose un guide , qui impose son tarif 4$ par personne et ne rend pas la monnaie.
Aux jardins botaniques prévus à 2$ par personne, on nous a pris 5 $ par personne et imposé un guide avec tarif imposé 6$ par personne.
Pas de punch rhum gratuit ni de jus naturel gratuit.
Le chauffeur a roulé à une vitesse excessive dans une multitude de virages en montée comme en descente.
En cours de route, le chauffeur a pris 2 autres personnes , alors que 4 places dans le van . 3 personne étaient serrées comme des sardines sur 2 sièges.
Tout ça est inadmissible.
Sinon la vue du fort est magnifique et les jardins sont beaux.

Le tour était très bien ! Pris en charge au bateau, par des guides souriants et aux petits soins. Visites avec un temps suffisant pour bien profiter en ne prenant qu’une matinée au final.

Eine schöne individuelle Tour auf St. Vincent mit einem sehr netten Fahrer.
Eine tolle Insel, Aufenthalt leider zu kurz um sie intensiver zu erkunden.
Lothar_W, Dec 2019
Botanischer Garten nicht sehenswert; es gab wesentlich schönere in der Karibik. Der ausgewählte Strand war schrecklich (schmaler Streifen und nur zugänglich wenn man durch Wasser gewatet ist).
