Tyrone was very... - Tyrone was very accommodating when our time of departure got cut short from 3pm departure time to 12:30. His daughter was our tour guide and gave us many interesting facts about the culture and area. She wanted us to experience as much as possible within the timeframe we were given but we didn’t feel rushed.

We were here for a good time- Not a long time :) - The tour was fun, cool and adventurous. Nikki, our tour guide was funny and knowledgeable about the history of the island. We learned a lot. The timing of the tour was just right. We saw so much is such a short amount of time. Nikki was on time and the tour felt more like a semi private tour because there was only 4 of us (my husband and I and two other prime that were traveling together). We never felt rushed, and riding with Nikki felt like being taken around by an old friend. I would def recommend this touring company to anyone considering a tour of the island. We were here on a cruise and the timing was perfect!!
