5 stars for Donald! - Our tour guide, Donald, was absolutely amazing! He was knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging! Which is very important for the educator in me. My boyfriend and I learned so much about Grenada and its history, and we had a lot of fun along the way.
I would highly recommend Donald as a tour guide to anyone visiting. He was truly the best!

Great Time with Tony! - My wife and I recently went to Grenada for our honeymoon and scheduled the Spice Island Explorer – Grenada Attractions Tour through Sandals. Our tour guide was Tony and he was absolutely incredible. Tony took us on a tour of southwest Grenada, including stops at the spice market, chocolate factory, and a final dip in Concord falls. He was knowledgeable, funny, and a great driver. Would recommend to anyone trying to take a half-day sight-seeing tour.

Southern Fusion-Private Tour - Thank you Tony! What an amazing experience. Tony explained so much about the history of Grenada, and immersed us into its culture! We visited Fort Frederick, went shopping at the spice market, got a tour of the chocolate museum, tasted rum at the Clark’s Court rum distillery, and enjoyed delicious authentic Grenada cuisine. Just wonderful!

Excellent Tour of Grenada! - We visited Grenada in early August and wanted to take a tour to get to know the island. Mr. Christopher McDonald was our tour guide and he was exceptional! He was very knowledgeable of the history of Grenada, it’s land, spices, plants and flowers. He took us all over the island. I would definitely recommend this company and request Mr. Christopher McDonald as your tour guide. Hopefully, we will be able to see him again next time we are in Grenada.

Great tour with knowledgeable and experienced guide - We took 2 tours with this company. One was a private tour of Belmont Estate that the company helped me tailor to our needs. It was an all day tour with T.J. He is a walking encyclopedia and knows the Island inside out! He provided a great historical and cultural narrative on the island and as we were curious he was able to answer all of our questions. He pointed out all the fruit trees and the spices and provided a lot of information on the flora and fauna of the island while incorporating culture and local customs. T.J. has a great sense of humor and his driving skills are second to none! It felt like getting to know a friend and it made it a very special experience. T.J was also our guide when we did the "turtle watching tour". His driving skills came in very handy there too and we enjoyed getting to learn more about the culture and customs in Grenada. We would really recommend this company and T.J!

Custom full day tour - From the very first contact, this was a first-class experience. My wife and I drove our rental car over the entire island in three days. But when our friends, another couple, arrived we wanted a guided tour so I could take a break from driving.
Anne promptly responded to my emails and soon we were scheduled for a reasonably-priced full day tour which we customized including Grand Etang lake and the rain forest, the monkeys, Mt. Carmel waterfalls, lunch at La Sagesse, Fort Frederick and Hope City and more. Our guide Dwight was fantastic! He is the consummate professional, courteous, knowledgeable, interesting and he has a great sense of humor !
Thank you for a memorable day, it could not have been better.

Half day tour. - We set up a half day tour of the island with Kenian Boney through our Sandals Resort. He was a wealth of information and a great ambassador for Grenada. He proudly told us the history and natural history of the island, showed us beautiful seascapes on the east and west coasts, took us into the rainforest, to a rum factory and to a home where various spices were being grown and cultivated. He also explained the proud and entrepreneurial spirit of Grenadian citizens and explained to us how the economy has developed with the medical school, tourism and exports. We got excellent context for the island and it’s people. Keni was very proud to show us the various monuments memorializing the American neutralization of communists in Grenada in the early 80s. This was a fun and worthwhile tour. Island roads are narrow, winding and hilly. If you’re motion sickness sensitive, get out and walk periodically.

Relaxing and Informative - The tour around the island was about 8 hours and very informative. Highlights for me was the old Pearl airport, leaper's hill, Annandale Waterfall and beachtime at Grand Anse.
