Guide was very nice and friendly. He showed us around the island. We enjoyed his company. The tour did include a shrimp truck lunch but didn’t include coffee or beer as advertised. You will have to pay for those yourself. However, our guide did treat us to a Leonard’s donut which was absolutely delicious.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that our guide made your experience pleasant and memorable. Regarding the beer stop, our guide understood that the guests requested to skip the final beer/beverage stop due to a tight dinner schedule after the tour and proceeded accordingly. The coffee offered during the tour is a tasting coffee provided at the farm, and we have updated the tour description to clarify this more clearly. However, as a courtesy, we would still be happy to refund this portion. Thank you again and will contact you directly.

Tyler was knowledgeable, patient, and fun! All the food choices were delicious, especially the lunch place (wish I could remember the name of it). You could tell the shrimp was super fresh and well seasoned, but my favorite part it was away from most of the crowds. We got to tailor some parts of the tour based on most of the group's interests, so that was nice
