A day in Martinique - The whole tour was wonderful. Lionnel was a great tour guide. Very informative and professional. We operate tours in Australia and as such would highly recommend this tour. Driver wes great.

Enjoyable tour of the island of Martinique - We had a wonderful time in a comfortable air conditioned bus. Our tour guide Lionel was very knowledgeable and attentive. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Not pro at all - Booking via Lyonel, so the contact was found on Facebook. 1. I was warned that morning, in front of the bus, that we would not take the excursion planned and booked for one month, replaced by another. Take it or leave it. 2. I learned at the end of the tour that the fare was not 45 euros as advertised and written on my reservation... but 60 euros. Again, last minute surprise despite our exchanges the day before. I thought it was a joke at the time so I laughed. But not at all, actually. Only positive: a super friendly and pro driver who saved the day (no, it wasn’t Lyonel)

We left 1 hour late then... - We left 1 hour late then returned to pier to pick up 4 “late people” which ended up being 18-20 people more and took another half hour. Tour advertised as small group - not! Our time at all of the stops was cut short - worst Viator tour we have taken - would not recommend

Scam scam scam!!! Don’t do it! - You’ll need to remove this booking from your site. I contacted this company early today to confirm that they were able to take us after seeing reviews of him cancelling for small groups. He said we were still on for the tour. To the point he sent us photos of where to meet him and the itinerary. We get to the meeting point and he is a no show. We have a man call him for us and he tells me “I thought you were a travel agent when we were speaking, if I come back you have to pay cash.” He also said that he doesn’t use Viator and doesn’t know what this is. But I see him in the reviews responding to people! He is a SCAM artist and was about to make decide to never visit Martinique ever again but we found a reputable company and went on a different excursion. DELETE HIS TOUR from Viator!

To flee - First of all, I met 9:30, I waited then found Lionnel difficult. He was waiting or rather recruiting other customers on the port in front of a boat leaving tourists I waited 1 hour in the sun. Lionnel informed me that I had booked the excursion in English that it would be German today. I asked him if he could dub in French or English, he said yes. A bus finally arrived and Lionnel asked me to get in. Inside the guide speaking in German yelled at me telling me that the tour was in German and that she was not going to speak in another language because she would waste too much time. She talked to Lionnel without offering me an alternative solution. Lionnel asked me to stay on the bus. The tour was made all along in German , the guide had to speak twice in French . The gendarme stunt lasted 5 minutes. Arriving at the beach of the carbet, we had a stop of 20 minutes because we had been too late at the start obviously, so it was impossible to settle in a restaurant or cafe as indicated in the excursion. I had to wait 16h to eat on our return to Fort de France. Lionnel promised me a refund, the color of which I did not see. SHORT TO ESCAPE ABSOLUTELY!!!

No tour—guide was a no show - Driver tour no-show. I sent messages no response. Finally had taxi stand guy call. Only 2 of us scheduled the night before so they cancelled—despite fact that I was holding two confirmed tickets. We waited and waited. No response to out messages.

Disappointment - Took a lot of time to book the tours just to have them all cancelled. Even took a taxi to meet the 1 st tour guide who never showed up & didn’t contact me . On top of that , Have not received confirmation that I will be reimbursed for the $ 15 EU spent on the taxi ride . I was really looking forward to the tours . Overall experience , disappointing

Canceled morning of the excursion - Our excursion was cancelled an hour and a half before it was to start. Didn’t give us time to book anything else. So wrong.

No confirmation. - My reservation for the tour was never confirmed. I had to cancel early the day before and I was never refunded (even if it was 24h before). I lost nearly 100$ CAD.
