5.00Alan wa a really excellent guide. He was born and raised in the area we were visiting and had great insight. He had an excellent sense of humor and was willing to modify the trip based on what we wanted to see. All in all, Alan made it a really great experience. Steve C

5.00Our guide was great. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his beautiful island. He drove us up to a beautiful viewpoint that wasn’t on the itinerary. He let us set our own pace for the places we went but made sure we saw all the great places on this island
Fantastic!

5.00Alan was a great guide. The day was amazing. We saw so many sites. I would highly recommend this tour. On a sidenote, our cruise ship was four hours late talking in Port and Alan waited for us and gave us the full tour, which was very much appreciated. It was a fantastic day!
