Best Tour Ever!
Had the pleasure of going on a tour with Chris. I had called Chris the night before Christmas worried because we couldn’t fully experience St. Lucia and he made our dreams come. Chris was super friendly atmosphere and accommodating. Super professional and also gave us everything we were looking for our tour! Chris gave us a private tour, just me and my wife, around the West Coast. Despite being Christmas, Chris was able to deliver the best 6 hour tour ever. I will never forget this tour and will definitely book this company next time I come back!

The Real St. Lucia
We got Lucky and had Chris for a second tour. This tour was an in depth, off the beaten path tour of St. Lucia. We had a traditional St. Lucian Breakfast. Toured the distillery, Had a fantastic home cooked lunch and visited a rum infusion shop. After that we went to a St. Lucian farm and was introduced, by the farmer to all of the nuts, fruits and vegetables he grows. We sampled them all sitting under the forest canopy. Chris was brilliant on this tour with tons of information and background for all of our activities.

100% Recommended
Chris, the owner of the company was very responsive and easy to get hold of via WhatsApp. He came by our bnb the night before we were scheduled to go on tour with him in order to make sure that he knew where we were so he could pick us up on time. It turned out he himself was unable to take us so he connected us with his brother Shane Boy.
Shane Boy was well groomed, the vehicle was spotless and he was entertaining and knowledgable. He provided a lot of insight into the local culture. We used his services several times during our stay in Soufriere and found his prices were fair. We definitely feel comfortable recommending both Chris and Shane Boy and are confident they are your best choice when staying in Soufriere.

St. Lucia experience with Chris
What an amazing experience! Chris is very connected with many locals on the island which made our tour very special and we felt like VIPs.
Chris is wonderful! He took us everywhere and taught us what life is like on St. Lucia. We saw places and met island locals you normally would not see and meet without exploring the island with Chris!
My family and I cherish the connection we made with Chris and will never forget our time on St. Lucia!

Must do local culture experience
My family and I had an unforgettable culinary tour in St. Lucia with our amazing guide, Chris! From start to finish, the experience was incredible. We had the chance to taste a wide variety of local foods, with standout moments being a delicious breakfast, a hearty lunch, and an incredible fruit tasting on a local farm. Each dish was packed with authentic Caribbean flavors, and we felt like we were truly experiencing the heart of St. Lucian cuisine.
Chris went above and beyond by not only introducing us to the island’s culinary delights but also sharing so much history and cultural insights along the way. His knowledge and passion for St. Lucia really brought the tour to life. It wasn’t just a food tour—it was an immersion into the island's heritage. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting St. Lucia!
