“What a day! Let me tell you how great it is to tour with a true native of the island. Shelly has lived here her entire life and raised her family with the love of her life who was raised on the same street as she was. Her dad and her husband’s dad were best friends! She not only showed us the island she shared the history of her island and family and you could feel the love & pride she had she had for both. She shared her time with each of us on the tour and made us feel so welcomed and made us laugh all day until the end. We would recommend the Sites and Bites tour for folks of all ages. A wonderful day we will not forget.” - Reviewed on 2025-02-19
