Reasonably priced, amazing time! - Absolutely wonderful!! I had some scheduling difficulties that Robin was very accommodating about. Then our ferry got canceled and I was in panic mode about times & being picked up. Again, very accommodating and easy. Bill was an amazing guide; very knowledgeable, fun, personable and willing to change up the itinerary. We will book again for sure!

Great way to see this history at your own pace - I am so glad we did this tour. Online, articles about St. George make it seem like all of these forts are easily accessible by walking. Given the ground we covered and the number of fortifications we saw, I know we could not have done this on foot. Plus, we had the excellent commentary and information of our guide Bill to not only provide historical context, but also to help us see how everything related to each other geographically--which makes it easier to understand the different forts and different needs. We also made it to the unfinished church and the main square in St. George. Considering the cruise ships in port that day, we saw how overcrowded the ferries were and as such we were relieved not to be in such big groups. We had time to look at the exhibits and keeps at our own speed. Also, by driving to/from Hamilton to St. George with Bill, we really got to see some of the quieter parts of Bermuda. Again, what a pleasure to not be in a crowd. Then, to top it all off, just as we were departing, Robin had sent along a little memento for us of our day around the northern end of Bermuda--a lovely and thoughtful way to put a fina stamp on a great afternoon.

A Wonderful Tour - Our tour with Bill last week was terrific! He was very flexible with our pickup/drop-off needs and our slight mobility challenges, knowledgeable of Bermuda's history, and just a very kind gentleman. It was like spending time with an old friend. Bill also pointed out some public beaches that were tucked away from busy touristy spots, and we are hoping to visit them again some day! Thanks, Bill and Robin for a wonderful Bermuda experience!

One of the best tours! - Our tour guide, Bill, was phenomenal! He gave us great information and was able to answer any questions we had. It was great being just my husband, our daughter, and myself. The Forts were amazing! Getting to go inside the Unfinished Church was something I've wanted to do for years. You won't be disappointed if you do this tour! We highly recommend it.

Very informative private tour, with a personable, knowledgeable guide - Our guide, Bill, was informative, personable, knowledgeable, and punctual. He was very flexible given that our ship was late in arriving in Bermuda. Bill was very pleasant to be with. He gave us so much interesting historical information about the area in general, and about forts specifically. I would highly recommend this tour.

Charmed in Bermuda. - Robin is a knowledgeable guide. She seeks knowledge as well as imparting it to her guests. She was prompt in picking us up at the negotiated time and place, and our tour was complete as scheduled. During our transit to the historic sites she shared the background and history of the island and the geopolitical significance of the time. Robin, like many guides we have met in out travels, is passionate about her home country and is enthusiastic about its history and culture. We were charmed! Thank you Robin.

History buffs this one’s for you. - Amazing and informative. This was my first time booking a tour without using the cruise ship. It was so intimate because it was only my husband and myself. No need to wait for others. Robin was a famtastic guide. Not only did we get to see forts, my husband’s favorite. We saw a lot of the island driving around.

Incredible value - As we are very interested in historical details, we were expecting a fascinating 3 and a half hour experience, it however, far exceeded our expectations. Robin kindly picked us up from our guest house and thus began our adventure back in time. She was affable, very knowledgeable and considerate. We walked among the centuries of fortifications on this beautiful island and she made it come alive before our eyes. I highly recommend this tour.
