This is best day we spent on the Island and great value for money. PAPA P is an amazing tour guide, so informative and has a great sense of humour, on the final leg of the tour he pulled out his guitar and sang to us. Absolutely brilliant.

Great all day tour... this was nice to get to know the island and step outside the capitalism of the commercial stores and expensive surroundings... although both are beautiful it was a nice break.

This was an amazing tour. Our group of 9 was guided by Cousin Guy and we had a blast. We celebrated an anniversary, a birthday and graduations all together while learning about the culture and history of the island. A group of strangers coming together and leaving feeling like family. And to witness a Ha moment between Cousin Guy and Cousin Jay was one that I’ll never forget. I would sign up and do it all over again. Mahalo Grace
