Great little tour - The tour will start around 9:45 to 10am. If you are in a rush, maybe it’s not for you. Doug was a great LOCAL tour guide.

Do if you want to see something except the cruise port - Very good guide with lots of information, nice stops and absolutely worth the money: a good way to see more of the island if you are only there for a few hours with a cruise ship.

Fun, informative team tour of Turks and Caicos - This was the second time in this excursion. Our guide Doug is a local and extremely knowledgeable about Turks and Caicos, the country and heritage. It was a pleasure to have him as our driver.

Our ship was probably... - Our ship was probably three hours late and Doug was nice enough to wait on us. We were the only 2 clients that day. Excellent tour. Doug knew the history of almost every house that we passed.

Don't trust the listing - The tour itself was fine. Not really much to see on the island - the donkeys were the highlight. The reason for three stars is because the listing is misleading or simply intentionally wrong. The tour was supposed to start at 9 AM. Several participants showed up at about 8:45 to ensure they were on time. We were informed at 8:45 that although it is stated that the tour starts at 9, it actually starts at 9:30, to allow for latecomers. We did start at 9:30, but there were even more latecomers, so we had to head back to pick them up and repeat the beginning of the tour. So our 9 AM tour actually finally began at 9:50. The ad also stated that beverages and food were included - there were none. The tour operator should revise the listing to show the actual beginning time and to be honest about what is included

Overall experience - Unfortunately ours didn’t go as planned. The speakers weren’t working properly and then the engine had a catastrophic failure. But the agent very apologetic and gave us a full refund. We all returned to the ship safely which was the import thing.

Not that impressed with the tour would not recommend - So it was supposed to start at 9 o’clock and the tour guide said oh we’re waiting for more people so we’re not starting till 10. We we actually didn’t get started till almost 1030. We didn’t get to stop and look at things very often and we’re just driving around the city and I thought we were gonna get dropped off at a beach, but we got back taken back to our own beach where the a cruise was never even stopped to look at a beach other than our beach that we were at with the cruise ship and I know there were several other beaches. We were dropped off to go to a place to shop and then just sat in a bus and went to go see the lighthouse and then went back to the beach/cruise ship
