This is the driver you want in St. Lucia!! - We were in St Lucia for a wedding, and our son-in-laws birthday was Sunday. I booked a trip with no knowledge of St Lucia at all. We decided the Drive-In Volcano was a must do, along with the waterfall. The Botanical Gardens were a very nice addition to our day. Our driver, Tenneyson, was EXCELLENT!! He took care to make sure we had a great experience. He explained the areas we were driving through, history of the island and made sure we stopped at key points for pictures and incredible views. Thank you Tenneyson...you made our trip so pleasurable.

Go with Lincoln - Just completed a fabulous trip around St. Lucia with Lincoln. Saw things that were not previously mentioned in the reviews I saw. His knowledge of the island the history and the flora and fauna made this one of the best tours I’ve been on in many cruises. He took us to a terrific creole restaurant on the waterfront. Please note that you can request Lincoln when you make your reservation-you won’t be sorry.

Great tour of Saint Lucia with tour guide Javan - My tour guide Javan was great. He was very knowledgeable about the island and gave us a fun tour. We explored so many different places and our tour guide was patient when we wanted to ask a ton of questions and he made sure we had plenty of pictures of all the places we visited. Definitely coming back and asking for Javan again as our guide.

Great way to see island highlights! - Fun tour of the island with
Viernele Pinder as our guide and driver. We picked the highlights we wanted to see and Viernele was always happy to accommodate us when we wanted to stop along the way for photo ops. He also acted as photographer for our group as we enjoyed the volcanic mud baths and the waterfall. Overall great experience!

Tour was awful - The tour guide was awful. He hardly told us any history of the island. He was asked a question about the natural plants of the environment And he didn’t know what they were called. He drove us to a rum distillery and left us there without telling us which tour we were supposed to be doing that was included with the this tour. We ended up paying $12 per person It was my understanding that we didn’t have to add any additional fees on this tour I would like to talk to the owner about us getting back our $12 per person. I also notified the owner that we were minus one person because of their flight being canceled. I expect a refund back for that one person. We were only 9 people not 10. We did like seeing the wood gallery. That was nice and the woman that gave us the tour was great !! In summary the tour guide was very poor .
We also had lots of traffic coming and going . we were sitting in more traffic than seeing anything on this tour . This is our first time using viator. I would not recommend this tour to others.
