With the pandemic, I finally have the time to do my reviews from our trip before the holidays! We were in communication with Tony beginning in Sept/Oct for a private tour for 2 couples when our cruise visited in November. He was absolutely FANTASTIC with email communications and created a private tour with our list of places we wanted to visit, and eventually executed that tour adding on a wonderful bar on the beach at the conclusion of the tour before taking us back to our ship. He met us at the port and took us in his vehicle to a few estates for educational tours and to purchase spices and chocolate. He was a very knowledgeable and such a great guide! He was SO PERSONABLE throughout the day...from start to finish.

Built in 1785, it’s the oldest functioning water-propelled distillery not only in Grenada, but throughout the Caribbean. Be ready to taste a variety of well blended products.

Tour was booked on short notice and we were lucky to have a private tour. Driver was very smart and giving a lot of information during the tour. Unfortunately at Belmont Site driver did not appear at agreed time with 30 minutes delay. Based on that not 5 points

I had the pleasure of doing a full-day custom tour with Josh and it was incredible. We were only spending 3 days in Grenada so we packed in as much as we could on the tour. This island is gorgeous with mountains, waterfalls, black sand beaches and we wanted to see it all. Josh was ready and waiting for us in the lobby of Mount Cinnamon the day of the tour. We did the following; - Grand Etan Rainforest/National ParkM One way up we stopped to see a rainbow eucalyptus tree, pick nutmeg and taste fresh cacao fruit! - River Antoine Estate Rum Factory. Very strong rum. - Belmont Estate for lunch and chocolate tasting. The buffet lunch was delicious as was the chocolate tasting. Picked up some chocolate soap too. - Black sand beach (black is beautiful!) - Mount Carmel Falls (gorgeous natural beauty. there's a small area (hut) to change, a natural wideslide that's kid-friendly and a swimming area. The swim was refreshing). - Spice market. LOL. fun. Picked up some cinnamon leaf and other spices. Honestly, it was an incredible tour. Josh is funny and charming. He felt like family by the end of the tour. Bonus: we were leaving on a Thursday, missing the cookouts on Friday. Josh arrange for us to get an Oil Down takeaway on the way to the airport from local favourite Patrick's. So yummy. I will definitely be back to the beautiful island of Grenada and cannot recommend Josh more!

This remarkable full-day tour, showing you the very best of Grenada in a day. See St. George's, the prettiest capital town in the Caribbean. Travel up the western coast and visit the picturesque Concord Waterfalls nestled in the lush mountains where you can be refreshed by swimming in the cool water. Visit the fishing town of Gouyave and the spice processing station, where you will see why our island is called the "Isle of Spice" then continue to the Diamond chocolate factory to taste and learn how chocolate is made. Have lunch at an authentic Grenadian restaurant, before heading to the Caribbean's oldest functional water-powered distillery before tasting its potent rum. The tour would not be complete without a visit to Grenada's interior and largest national park, to see the Grand Etang Lake and rainforest.

My husband and I had an amazing time on our full-day tour with Michael yesterday. Michael knows so much about the island, and his love for the country shines. He was so personable and had a fun sense of humor; it was such a treat to drive around the island with him! Tour highlights included Concord Waterfall; tasting Grenada’s national dish, oil down, which isn’t something we expected to enjoy so much but it really blew us away (SO good!!); we also loved the rum and chocolate factories; and being very fortunate to encounter monkeys at Grand Etang National Park! (The monkeys don’t always come out, so this was a blessing!) We are very grateful for Michael’s knowledge and fun personality for making our tour one of our favorite days on our Grenada vacation. Tip: Bring money to buy chocolate and also shop from the vendors by Concord Waterfall. The people by the waterfall aren’t pushy but sort of guilt you by saying stuff like “This is how I make a living. We’d really appreciate your support.” Their stuff is inexpensive and they do have novelty items like chocolate tea and nutmeg jelly; my advice would be to buy something if you’re able.

Many of Grenada’s attractions are concentrated in the south of the island. Step back in time at historic Fort Frederick, with stunning views over Grand Anse Beach and St George’s. In the picturesque capital, explore the bustling market in the centre of town. Learn about and sample organic chocolate produced in Grenada at the Chocolate Museum or just relax at one of the waterfront bars or restaurants along the Carenage. Drive through Woburn fishing village and learn about Grenada’s ‘blue economy’. Take in the views of traditional fishing boats, modern yachts and powerboats at Clarke’s Court Bay Marina and two offshore islands. Visit De La Grenade Industries and Grenada Distilleries to taste some of the island’s finest products made using local ingredients - rums, nutmeg and chocolate liqueurs, and mouth-watering syrups, jams and jellies. This tour offers a great opportunity to stock up on gifts and souvenirs, so you can take home a taste of the Spice Isle.

We have just returned from a couple of weeks holiday in Grenada and during our stay we used Richard from Future Tours on a number of occasions. We used him not only for transport between hotels on the island, but also for excursions. His knowledge of the island is second to none and introduced us to Grenadian culture and customs. He took us to some little visited, off the beaten track places which were absolutely delightful. He is a charming man with a firm understanding of how he wants to develop his company. He even came to see us off on the airplane - how nice is that? He really did contribute to the enjoyment of our holiday. Look no further - Richard of Future Tours is the ideal person to show you around the island.
