A natural beauty - The day was a bit overcast which added the low fog on the tops of the volcano peaks, making for a picturesque view....the mud bath though a bit daunting was an experience worth every minute, as the results left a lasting memory...one of nature's wonder and beauty worth seeing in St Lucia

Excellent tour; We highly recommend - We had such an amazing time during our tour of St. Lucia. From the fishing villages to the peton peaks, the island is filled with beautiful sights.
We took a six-hour tour with a local guide, Loyd, who provided such an excellent experience --- he is one of the best tour guides we have ever had the pleasure of meeting during our travels. We would highly recommend taking a tour with Loyd if you're interested in seeing more of St Lucia. He Sheparded us to the mud baths, the waterfalls some beautiful beaches, stopping along the way to sample local foods and learn about the island's history.

A fun day out - This was a private tour and from the outset driver / guide Lloyd made us feel at ease. His commentary as we drove round was interesting. We made clear we didn’t do souvenirs so he was sensitive to this.
We were provided with snacks and drinks throughout excursion, which included the drive in volcano and mud baths.
It was a great day out we saw way more than we could of hiring a car. Thoroughly recommend this type of tour and ask for Lloyd.

Disappointing Tour with late showing up and late return to the boat - Very disappointing tour of all our Caribbean island tour. The guide didn’t arrive until nearly an hour later from the advising pick up time. We get stressed since we did not know if he will show up. We were worrying he will cancel the trip as all other tour guide arrive at least 30 mins before the boat arrives. During the whole trip, there were very little about the history, culture of the island. It is a 6 hours trip and if as advertising time to pick up 8:30 am it should finish at 2.30 pm and we book other entertainment on the cruise. Since we depart late, it gets us back to the boat late as well which is only 30 mins before departure which we miss the entertainment booked with the boat. This is a very unorganized tour. The drive does not give enough instruction at each stop such as where to pick up and what to expect next. It shows less of care and all he wants is to talk to local women at each stop. Will not recommend to take tour from this company.
