Spontaneously jumped on the tour and it was great. - We went to see the lighthouse and happened upon Jac getting ready to start a tour,so after a brief chat, we joined in. She is so pleasant and knowledgeable that one cannot help but be impressed and entertained. The history of the island , the battlements and the fort is fascinating. Jac is a person following her passion and it shows. We will return to the island and do another tour for sure.

Jacilyn Is a Fantastic Tour Guide! Highly Recommend. - From start to finish, Jac evidenced what every tour company should strive to do. Professional, responsive to texts and emails, kind and considerate, extremely knowledgeable about the island, its history, its people, its culture, its future. Safe driver. Engaging. Funny. Made history come ALIVE. Also, Right after the tickets were bought we had a hiccup in our plans for our group tour. She worked with us as we strove to fund a mutually beneficial solution. With respect and gratitude, we highly recommend Jac and her tour company.

Great guide and interesting tour! - Our tour guide, Jac was absolutely wonderful. You can tell she truly loves what she does. She had so much knowledge of the island and the history. She made a very cold (yes cold) trip around the island super fun. And we remembered much of what she told us for the next few days as we were driving around the island. She even gave some good suggestions for places to eat. She did a good job of keeping the tour on track despite one tour goer that was distracting. This takes skill! She also helped with parking issues. I would strongly recommend this tour if you want to learn about the history of the island.
