City Tour with Botanical Gardens, Trafalgar Falls & Morne Bruce
Description
Discover the best of the city of Roseau on a one and a half hour sightseeing tour with an expert guide. Traveling by comfortable coach or minivan, take in the city's top landmarks as you absorb the rustic Caribbean island atmosphere. Snap photos of the old slave market and the Victorian and Caribbean architectural era of buildings, venture into the local food and fruit market, view the entire city from above and on top the historic Morne Bruce and the highlight of any visit to Roseau: take a stroll through the Botanical Gardens to see the Caribbean and West African flora and the national bird of Dominica, the Sisserou parrot (Amazona imperalis). Due to popular demand, we included a visit one of the most famous waterfalls in the Caribbean, The Trafalgar Falls. Finally, a visit to one of the most remarkable geothermal wonders of the island in the small village of Watten Waven. This tour is much more than a just a Roseau city sightseeing.

We enjoyed the one on one experience. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. We would book again
Tiffany was an amazing guide! I don’t like scripted tours. She was wonderful! She picked us up at the cruise terminal and we were off in her comfortable ride with AC! Shes a great driver and shared with us many historical sites and what it was like to personally grown up on the island! We hiked up to the glorious double falls exploring local floral & wildlife along the way! We went to the botanical gardens and than natural sulfur springs plus a lookout point on a mountain where we could see our ship! Everyone seemed to know her! Than she gave us these delicious, just fried, salt cod chips?! I don’t know, but they were yummy! She is very educated and very good at her job! She clearly loves what she does and her beautiful island! She is a wealth of information! We visited 7 islands in 7 day cruise and this was our favorite! Than when we got back on the ship we watched Movies under the Stars on the big screen was “Pirates of the Caribbean” that was filmed on that island Dominica! It was just an amazing day! Highly recommend! Thank you Tiffany!
We saw and learned much more than I thought possible in a 4 hour tour. Our guide was helpful, on-time and k knowledgeable.
Our tour guide was awesome! We ended up effectively with a private tour, since it was only the two of us on the tour. She picked us up in a Jeep and off we went. Incredibly friendly, giving us information about the island throughout the entire tour. Literally met us right at the tent where we were leaving the security of the boat, which was amazing. Felt very unrushed, visited everything as described, back to the boat with plenty of time to spare.
Tiffany was a wonderful tour guide. We enjoyed her sharing information about the island and her own experiences growing up on Dominica. Great tour for first time visitors.
I booked City Tour and the experience didn’t start off very well. I was staying at the Intercontinental in Portsmouth and I paid $160 for them to pick me and my guests up from the hotel. We went downstairs promptly at 1pm and the driver wasn’t there. I called Tiffany and she said the driver was there only to find out 30 minutes later that he went to the wrong hotel. I feel I was initially given the runaround trying to find out if the driver was actually coming to get us. He ended up showing up almost 2 hours later. He drove us to the drop off to meet Tiffany he was a terrible driver he drove way too fast. I didn’t feel safe. My tour was supposed start at 2 it started at 3:30 pm. Tiffany did a good job explaining everything and taking us around and the young man that dropped us back off at our hotel was a much safer driver. I would recommend the tour, but if I had it to do all over again I would arrange my own transportation.
We love Dominica and Roseau, we had not been to trafalgar falls before so that was very good. As we drove through Roseau our guide gave us lots of local information on the buildings, the people, the island. So that was great.
It was a great short tour for the first time being on the island. The water fall was beautiful. I would rebook
Good communication from a great tour company! Our tour time got changed so they reached out through the Viator app and WhatsApp prior to the date to ensure we got notification and could still attend. Our tour guide Tiffany was friendly, knowledgeable and personable throughout the entire time. Our visit coincided with Carnival Tuesday so she went above and beyond to provide helpful directions to my group so we could take advantage of being there to see the parade and make it back to the ship without any issues. We would definitely recommend anyone interested in taking a tour in Dominica to work with Waitukubuli Adventures Tours.
Pre-cruise the communication was very good. The day of the tour it was chaotic. We ended up on the wrong bus and they shifted us to another. By the time we got to the other bus we had to take the last two seats available in the back. The guide did a good job explaining things, but many times she would be pointing out something that we had no prayer of seeing in the back of the bus. Overall, I was ready for the tour to be over because I was tired of being stuck in the bus where I couldn't see what was being discussed.
