A Must Do Tour in Port Of Spain! - If you're looking for an immersive, unforgettable tour of Port of Spain, this excursion is a must! The tour takes you through some of the city's most iconic landmarks, starting with the vibrant Independence Square. The lively atmosphere, framed by the impressive Central Bank and surrounding shopping streets, gives you a perfect introduction to the heart of the capital.
Next, you'll explore Queen's Park Savannah, a vast 200-acre park with beautiful colonial mansions and lush greenery. The Magnificent Seven, with their intricate architectural designs, are a sight to behold. A peaceful stroll through the Royal Botanical Gardens provides a serene escape, where you can truly appreciate nature's beauty and marvel at the tropical trees that surround you.
The National Museum and Art Gallery offers a brief but enriching stop, giving you a glimpse of the island’s rich history and culture. Then, head to Fort King George in St. James for breathtaking panoramic views of Port of Spain and beyond. On a clear day, you might even catch sight of the hills of Venezuela!
The final leg of the tour takes you up the scenic north coast road to Maracas Beach. With its stunning coastal views and opportunities to sample local snacks, like the iconic Bake and Shark, this stop is the perfect end to a perfect day. You can even enjoy a swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean before heading back.
As someone who was born and raised in Trinidad but left 20 years ago, it was truly special to return to my roots and share the experience with my husband, who has Trinidadian ancestry but had never visited before. This tour was the perfect way to introduce him to Port of Spain. We both loved the visit to Queen's Park Savannah and Fort King George, with its breathtaking views. And, of course, the trip to Maracas Beach was the perfect finale, where we got to taste the famous Bake and Shark and enjoy the cool Caribbean waters.
With free admission at each location and a comfortable, informative pace, this tour provides an excellent introduction to the rich history, culture, and natural beauty of Trinidad. Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and really made the experience even more enjoyable. We both had an amazing time, and it was the perfect way to reconnect with the city I grew up in while introducing my husband to its beauty and charm. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Port of Spain!

Fun tour - Super fun tour with Enya, who brought a great energy throughout the day and was really kind. We had a lovely drive around Port of Spain and especially loved the beauty of the “seven” gorgeous historic buildings along the Savannah. Then we had a nice drive through the rainforest to Maracas Beach, which was so gorgeous. We loved the bake n shark with pineapple and tamarind. Great intro to a fab country. Thanks Enya!

Interesting but not worth the costs…. Cheaper on Viator! - Interesting tour of Trinidad. You can book this cheaper through Viator. Kevin, our Guide was very knowledgeable and took us to all the popular sites. I don’t think it is worth $137 for two people.
