We had an amazing trip with Andy who looked after us very well. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history, the flora and fauna and the landscape. All questions were answered with a smile. Andy met us as arranged and took us to Pigeon Island showing us local places of interest during the journey and giving photo opportunities. We had a very informative tour of the fort and then had some free time on the beach. Andy was flexible with route and timings which was ideal. We would strongly recommend booking with A + tours.

We booked our trip through shore excursioneer as a beach trip to Pigeon Island. 2 couples. We Traveled to St Lucia on a cruise so were there for only one day. Hans was our guide! He was so wonderful. Picked us up at cruise port to drive us to Pigeon Island. Already had a cooler full of drinks for us. There was a car accident ahead of us that had traffic at a standstill so we took the long way around to Pigeon Island. This turned out to be a huge positive as we got to see the Island through Hans' eyes and several landmarks and great views! Hans went out of his way to help us in every way. A very pleasant young man and so engaging. Enjoyed all our conversations with him. He Got us settled with beach chairs and umbrellas on a quiet beach at Pigeon. Probably only 4 other couples on the beach. At lunch he drove off the park area and picked up lunch for us...local food! We went with his recommendation and had Roti ( curry type beef, chicken or fish wrapped in a tortilla like wrap) and a drink called sour sop. AMAZING! Thanks to Hans' for a great recommendation. Pigeon Island itself is a 44 acre National Park and has views of Rodney Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. There are several trails to hike, some steep but the views are worth it. If you just want to sit on the beach then thats fine too as the views are wonderful. We enjoyed every minute here and would definitely book with Serenity and ask for Hans again. He made this day what it was. Historical, adventurous, beautiful and relaxing! Thanks for a great day!

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.

Awesome experience and Danny put the icing on the cake for sure. Made the car transport go by quick and was super informative. Let us stop at the chocolate hotel and lunch with an amazing view. The hike is semi strenuous so if you are not fit I do not recommend. The view was amazing and the feeling of accomplishment is even better. Thanks Danny for making this experience amazing!!!

Shal, our guide and driver of the Jungle Tour Landrover jeep, was just right for us two adventurous couples. With a cooler full of waters, beers and rumpunch, we saw tropical rainforest, ate freshly baked bread from a local village bakery (no sign on the building, but Shal knows this kind of thing) bought local jerk seasoning and handmade woven baskets. I had my misgivings about the mud baths at the volcano, but we had a blast. There were a bunch of young Germans at the time. We all got covered in the special cleansing clay (with bathing suits on). Pretty rustic, but a cool experience. We felt refreshed and my skin was so soft afterwards. Shal was so personable, we ended up singing country songs with him as we whizzed through the beautiful landscape. One warning, when the top is on the Landrover, it gets fumy inside. We only had the top on when it was raining. Most of the day it was not raining, and the fresh air and sweet rich fragrance of the rainforest made up for it. Our lunch in Soufriere with a spectacular view of the Pitons over the bay was delicious - I was surprised by and enjoyed what tasted like potato salad, but was made with green bananas, no potatoes at all! Shal got us back to the cruise ship just in time - what a full fun day!

My husband and I are so eternally grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Nadia and Barefoot Holidays team. At all times they were extremely professional and provided quality customer service. Super-Efficient, answered all my daily messages and calls, lol. As our wedding planners they went above and beyond the call of duty. Nadia and her team executed our wedding dream come true. It was everything we wanted and more. Months of planning and all the challenges including last minute venue changes they kept us stress free ????We knew we were in good hands. For the wedding reception Nadia and her team came up with the most beautiful and innovative decor. Wow, it was really lovely. We received wonderful feedback from our family and friends on how lovely, and creative the decorations were... Especially the over bridge table flowers and bouquets, lighting and arrangements around the room. Julian was super pleased with the special customized dance floor. Our entertainment at the reception had our guests dancing for hours, just the way we wanted... Barefoot Holidays St Lucia are like family and made sure we were well taken care of in every aspect. Sincere thanks and gratitude from your truly satisfied Mr. & Mrs. Toussaint
