We met Captin Sam at the market He was very accommodating, he did such a great job being a taxi driver . Captain Sam did a great job and he was knowledgeable about the island. Due to his great attitude, we decided to see him again the next day, so we customized a trip for my wife and I on are honeymoon. He took us all over the island into a lot of local beaches that most tourist never got to see. He was such a great man and wonderful company, thank you Captain Sam .

Vicky is great! She picked us up with a smile and we headed to the Tet Paul Nature Trail for beautiful views. Then we saw the volcano and finished off with a walk at the botanical gardens. Vicky took care of all the admissions and we had a personal guide for each experience. Such a great way to see and learn about the island! We did it on one of our first days, and we’re so glad we did not rent a car, it’s worth having a pro do the driving! A tip: if you’re staying in the Castries area, it’s a long swervy drive to Soufriere... but all the stops are worth it. You’ll be gone most of the day, so take a few snacks, water, sunscreen or a hat, etc. There are washrooms at each stop. We definitely recommend booking a tour with Vicky, she’s just like all the reviews say: friendly, knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with!

Last minute thing last week, referred by another resort patron. Called on short notice, not expecting it to work out, but Hernelle and Alleyn Ross went above and beyond to make it happen. Personally picked up my wife and I, great conversation both directions, Alleyn was a safe driver. Highly recommend for any activities on St Lucia. Prices are cheaper than what's available through the resorts, and they are in full compliance with covid protocols. They also later went back to the location in Castries they had taken us to deliver something I had forgotten to take with me. They put up my brewery sticker on the wall of Antilla Brewing's taproom.

Jim picked us up from our AirBnB around 9:30a to begin an amazing private tour around St. Lucia. He’s highly knowledgeable about Lucian history and culture, and a great conversationalist. While driving through this beautiful landscape, we learned the significance of various landmarks from east to west, and were introduced to cassava cakes (a must try) baked in numerous flavourful varieties (be sure to go early for more options—they’re that good!). We experienced the sulphuric mud baths and a beautiful dip in the Piton Falls in Soufriere. Shortly after, we ate at a local restaurant in a vibrant location by the water. I would highly recommend this tour. You’ll leave St. Lucia in awe, with experiences to discuss for days.

I arranged a Round-the-Island Tour with Andre for 7 of us, some of whom live here and some of whom were here on boats for a long period while the borders were closed. We all wanted a change of scene and a chance to look around. It's a very difficult time for taxi drivers and others with none of the usual tourist crowds and cruise ships here. On the other hand we took advantage of the lack of people to enjoy the view points and quiet places. Andre entertained us as usual with his excellent knowledge of the island and remembered how to sing! We stopped on the way down the west coast to buy cassava bread and at Soufriere for freshly - made smoothies at Zaca's. We bought lovely pottery in Choiseul, drove up to the lighthouse at Moule a Chique in Vieux Fort and had a late lunch at the Reef before driving back up the east coast. It was a long day but we so enjoyed it and Andre was an untiring, companiable and flexible driver. I highly recommend him.
