Trinidad cruise excursion - Garth gave us a personalized tour of Trinidad. We got to see some beautiful old colonial buildings including a private tour of Killarney House. An unexpected treat. Garth was incredibly personable and knowledgeable. We were amazed at how green and lush the drive to Maracas beach was, and once there felt comfortable at Uncle Sam's for the famous "bake and shark" as well as on the beach with incredible soft sand. Under the price of the cruise ship excursions we could have booked on the boat and it ended up just being my husband and myself. An awesome day!!

Maracas Beach Day - It was a bit confusing finding the driver from the cruise port, but once we found Ahmar, he was wonderful. Answered all our questions to and from the Beach and was very polite and courteous. Was definitely worth booking this on our own.

Best - I traveled to the beach with Curacao fascinating tours. Ms Jantree couldn't have been nicer more informative and gave the best tour of Curacao I have ever had there. You won't be disappointed if you book with her.

Unforgettable Maracas Beach experience - The beach trip gods blessed me with the perfect weather and the perfect tour guide. Jeffrey was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and very experienced. He shared lots of surprising titbits about the area and its history and as an avid photographer, I was able to get the best places to capture stunning images.
I had a great time and plan to do it again on my next visit.

Great Scenic Views and an Incredible Beaching Experience - I had an awesome time on this tour! Jeff was an excellent guide who understood my gluten free lifestyle, and was able to accommodate me very well, so I wouldn't be hungry during the trip. The views going through the mountains to Maracas Beach were absolutely beautiful, and even though it was an overcast day, the water was calm and perfect for a relaxing swim. The beach wasn't super crowded either, so it was perfect😊

Fantastic day trip - Errol my driver was fantastic. I was fortunate to be the only passenger so was able to make several stops including one at the grocery store for Rum. Errol was a wealth of knowledge and highly recommend him. It was nice to be able to take a backpack and keep it locked in his van while on the beach. For the price ($75 because I was alone) I think it was a bargain as the taxi drivers were over $100.

Private beach transfer - Comfortable (private) transfer from my hotel in Port of Spain to Maracas Beach. The driver (Hasan) was very friendly, relaxed and professional but unfortunately not really aware what the tour does actually offer by T&T Sightseeing Tours, like the mentioned stop at the scenic lookout. I informed him about to make a stop. As requested I was standby at the hotel entrance 15 minutes before the 9:00am pick up time. At 9:15am I emailed T&T Sightseeing Tours that I was ready to be picked up. The quick reply message with apologies was that there was a problem with the vehicle (?) and a new vehicle/driver will be at the hotel at 10:00am instead! At 10:15am the driver with a clean Nissan compact suv arrived for the pick up. I did have great time at the beach, but I had hoped that I was there earlier in the morning, ahead of the crowds. Hasan stayed around the beach. I met him again at the agreed departure time at the parking lot.
