Had a great time with Lloyd. He was personable, knowledgeable and ensured we had a good day. We wanted this tour to avoid having to pay for admission at the stops that required them. Bathing in the volcano mud bath was optional (we weren’t interested) and required additional admission if you were interested. He made sure we got to the best picture locations.
We are happy that you had a great time!
For eight hours Lloyd showed us his home, the island of St Lucia, and knew an answer to every question. To get around the big evening traffic jam, he drove safely up and down the smallest roads singing songs by Bob Marley!
Shal was a fantastic guide. He had a great attitude and it was obvious he was describing the island as a native, not someone reading a tour book. The roads on this island are insane by U.S. standards with nothing but steep hills, blind turns, no shoulders, and questionably two lanes. Couldn't pay me enough to drive it myself, but Shal handled like a pro and never made us feel unsafe. Tour itself shows all the highlights of the island without making us feel rushed or the standard pressure to buy add-ons.
Thank you for your kind review! I can only agree!
Had a wonderful day with Lloyd seeing the highlights of the island. Upbeat, knowledgable and fun day mostly because he was such a delightful guide.
Thank you for your kind review, we will let Lloyd know!
My wife and I were on a cruise and stopped in St. Lucia. We booked this tour several weeks before the cruise and we’re so pleased with our experience. Highly recommend this company to anyone visiting St. Lucia.
We are happy that you enjoyed the day!
Our tour guide Lloyd was terrific!!! Very informative and respectful!!! He kept us engaged the entire tour!! Request Lloyd if you can. He won’t disappoint!!
Thank you for your kind review!
Lloyd is da man! This was a great adventure and he made it even better. Highly recommend this tour! Yah man.
The day was a bit overcast which added the low fog on the tops of the volcano peaks, making for a picturesque view....the mud bath though a bit daunting was an experience worth every minute, as the results left a lasting memory...one of nature's wonder and beauty worth seeing in St Lucia
Shal was the absolute BEST and took such excellent care of us! We had great conversations all day. He shared lots of great information with us and treated us to the greatest experience. We cannot recommend him highly enough.
We are very happy that you a great experience!
We had such an amazing time during our tour of St. Lucia. From the fishing villages to the peton peaks, the island is filled with beautiful sights. We took a six-hour tour with a local guide, Loyd, who provided such an excellent experience --- he is one of the best tour guides we have ever had the pleasure of meeting during our travels. We would highly recommend taking a tour with Loyd if you're interested in seeing more of St Lucia. He Sheparded us to the mud baths, the waterfalls some beautiful beaches, stopping along the way to sample local foods and learn about the island's history.
We are very happy that you enjoyed the tour so much!
