Great experience - Walking tour
First let me start off by saying I am not a fan of walking especially in the sun(lol)
however my husband was able to convince me and we booked this tour. We were a party of 7 which included my 2 sons and my mother in law and close friends, we were greeted with a warm welcome by Chris himself and got acquainted with our tour guide for the day karen. The tour was well put together ,our guide was professional curteous and well knowledgeable about the island . For someone who hates walking I really enjoyed the stroll the sights we took a lot of pictures ,we had lunch which was included in our package and our host was well entertaining overall we had fun our guide was even kind enough to allow us to do a quick stop in the shops. If your looking for something different to do while on the island besides the regular island tours then this package is a must and its not to long either so we had the rest of the day to do what we wanted after the tour.
