Wonderful Experience! - Javan was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and was quick to pick up on what we liked and didn't like. He made our day fun and entertaining. He took us to a lunch spot with the most amazing views! And took our photo at every pull out with unique perspectives. We highly recommend Javan!

Limited Interaction with the Driver - The morning of our tour, we still had not received confirmation from St. Lu Taxi & Tour as to who would be picking us up that morning. I had to send an email when it was getting close to the pickup time to remind them that we were still waiting for our tour guide's name and to confirm that he was still arriving to take us around the island. Once Nixon arrived, he started driving without getting clear direction of where we wanted to go. I did share with Nixon that we weren't interested in the beaches and the market was more of where we were interested in going to. We felt like we were getting more of a taxi ride than a tour. The driver, Nixon, gave us some history of the island, but was quite for most of the drive around the island, and no music was playing at all. We booked for 5-6 hours, but after 3 hours, he was ready to end our tour. He took us towards the south of the island and the roads were very windy and we were both getting car sick, so we actually did not mind cutting our tour short. We were a little annoyed though that we asked to be taken to Castries Market and we were told there was not enough time to go there even though we still had 2-3 hours left on our reservation. Nixon proceeded to call his office to ask them how much is overtime if he took us to the one place we told him that we really wanted to go to since we were not interested in going to the beach or doing any water/mud activities that were listed on the itinerary. Overall, we went to the drive-in volcano and the Diamond Waterfalls, both required an admissions fee. Outside of the motion sickness, we were happy to get a view of the island.

The tour was OK at best. ... - The tour was OK at best. Our guide was not a guide, just a driver, nothing more. He didn't even talk to us most of the day. We asked questions and I am not sure he knew the answers so just didn't say anything. We did see a lot of the island, but would have preferred an actual guide.
