St. John's Excellent Tour - I had the same driver from the Island tour and was extremely happy. Excellent trip to St. John's and toured around and in the city. Went to St. James fort, the various churches and the hub of the city. He is extremely knowledgeable. Well worth the knowledgeable you gain about the city. Chance to see the everyday person activity. Worth the trip and not real hot in the morning.

Highly recommend this trip to see Saint Johns and our driver was knowledgeable and an excellent host. - We had a great time. Our driver was prompt and had a wealth of knowledge about the island. He pointed out many interesting sites as we drove to and around Saint Johns. We told him we were interested in some local food and he took us to what he called the best local restaurant called Global Garden. When we got back to the hotel a number of the locals said they ate there a day or two before. Would highly recommend the trip.

Highly recommend! - My tour guide Lionel was amazing! He took me all over the island explaining everything, went to the market place, shopping, and seeing the beautiful homes, as well as areas the government needs to help 😞. Highly recommend this tour, and very safe during Covid.
