Most beautiful experience ever with Albert! - You will not go wrong booking this tour. Albert made the tour so unique. His extreme knowledge about his island granted us with a memorable experience. He knew everyone on the island & his interaction with them showed us even more how welcoming his spirit is. You will learn so much about Grand Turk and how strong & proud the people are. BOOK THIS TOUR!! You will leave beyond happy and greatful. You see so much all around the island thanks to Albert. He’s a pro at what he does.

Grand Turk - Gordon was so knowledgeable about the island and was so nice. We were a little disappointed in the “downtown” area but that was no fault of the tour company. The museum was great!

Grand Turk Tour - The guide was very nice. However, she did not have too much to say. The tour itself was very lack luster. There was little that she showed us and kwhen we were taken to the lighthouse, we had to hurry up due to time constraints. When stopping at a close slat marsh,she neglected to tell us we could see flamingos from the beach. Some of us wandered off and found them.
