I really enjoyed this... - I really enjoyed this tour. It is focused on the Indian heritage of Trinidad, so maybe best to take as a follow-up of your overall introduction to the island. The driver/guide was very good, knowledgeable and polite. Pick up at the hotel on time. You also get an opportunity to taste excellent doubles and roti.
Bring a hat and wear sunscreen.

This tour was an... - This tour was an eye-opening experience. We were able to see so much more of Trinidad than we imagined. Don’t think we would have seen this without the tour. Our guide was super friendly, knowledgeable, and took us to fantastic spots like the Chaguanas market and the Temple of the Sea. I would recommend adding dress code to tour description, just in case someone wants to enter the temple.

Great Tour That Gives You a Slice of Local Life - This is a great tour that allows you to get a snapshot of the cultural diversity that exists within Trinidad and Tobago. The Chaguanas Market gives you a slice of daily life with vendors selling everything from fruits and vegetables to meats and household items. Our tour guide, Junior, was excellent and gave us commentary on everything we were experiencing. Then, we went to two Hindu temples and learnt about how embedded they are within these communities. Then, we finished off the tour with some local cuisine (at our expense). I really loved this tour because it was short and sweet. The T&T sun is punishing and I had forgotten my hat, so I was glad that I didn't have to stand out in the sun for too long.

Great half day tour to see the highlights of Trinidad’s bustling city of Port of Spain, like a local! - My daughter and I had a fantastic time with Enya, our local tour guide, exploring all around Port of Spain! From sampling the fresh fruits and sweet treats at the market, to exploring the Hindu temples, and ending the tour after enjoying a DELICIOUS meal of local foods! We learned so much about Trinidad’s rich history and incredible melding of cultures. Every aspect of this tour was enjoyable, fun, and very well done! Highly recommend this tour and you’re in for such a treat if you’re lucky enough to get Enya as your guide!

Well spent time and money! - Our tour guide Khaleel, is very knowledgeable about the Island and it’s culture. He is very accommodating and customer friendly. His driving is quite commendable as well. We toured numerous sites in and around the Island. The open market is quite interesting and personable. The air conditioning was much improved in the car. Thank you for addressing the concern.
