Tram Across the Island - We had an amazing time with our tour guide, Doug. He took us places that we would have not expected during the tram ride. He gave us insightful information about the island from learning about the space capsule to the flamingos that inhabitants the island. Due to others cancelling we were able to have a private tour of Grand Turks & Caicos. Doug suggested that we eat at Jacks Snack before we left. He dropped us off there for lunch. I suggest making sure you book with Island Tram Tours when you come to Grand Turks & Caicos.

Great island tour - We had a great tour of Grand Turk. Our guide was very knowledgeable about his Island and was happy to share interesting tidbits about life on the Island. We got to see lots of beautiful areas and still have time for a beach afternoon.

Great tour with amazing value! - This tram tour with Doug was amazing! There is nothing more in the cruise I could have asked for! The value was commensurate and possibly more. I will note that I was advised that even though the pickup time states 9:00am, it is actually 9:45. You are invited to hang out in the Village (a short walk from the pickup destination) while we waited, but they only took cash or CashApp (which I only brought cash to tip and do not use CashApp). The intimate knowledge of the island with the appropriate stops are curated for the best experience. The accommodations are not 5 star, but the included value makes up for it. W I would highly recommend this with Doug to anyone.

Insightful tour - Tour guide Doug was great! Did have some technical difficulties with sound system. By choice we sat in the front row of the second tram and the motor was loud and you could smell the exhaust from the tram directly in front of us. The tram was quite full so we really could not move but this was our mistake picking these seats. The stops were insightful to the history of the island. This tour was a very cost effective way to see the highlights of Grand Turk. Would recommend despite the issues I mentioned above.

Bad audio - Pretty good tour with a knowledgeable tour guide/driver. Took us to all the sights on this little island. His team was a bit noisy and his audio gear was terrible. Most of the time could only hear scratching noises thru the speaker. I would have given him a 4 or 5 if the audio system worked.

Not sure it’s worth it. - As far as what we saw and much of info, we believe it was a decent tour. Unfortunately, starting an hour late, having a flat tire and a less-than- clear sound system were all factors that detracted from an enjoyable experience. Doug the driver was a nice guy, and I don’t know that any of the issues were his fault. We were definitely thankful we didn’t pay more than the $25.

tram tour couldn’t hear any of the guides description of grand Turks the PA system was not working terrible experience.. - The person narrating the tour couldn’t be heard because the PA system sound system was broken. He tried to fix it several times, but to no avail it was a very bad tour might’ve been interesting if we could hear him.

Never again with Island Tram. - Driver/Guide left us at the first stop. Luckily Rainbow Tours was there and allowed us to join them for the rest of the tour. We hooked up with. Island Tram later and was told he did a head count before leaving the first stop. Can he count?

A waste of my vacation time.... - It was the worst experience on a vacation. We had to walk a mile outside of the port. A lady was there, took a picture of our reservations, and told us we would not leave until 12:30. We arrived at 11:00 and had to walk further in 100 degrees heat to wait for 1 hour and 30 minutes. A man walked up to us and asked if we were waiting for the tour around 12:00 pm and stated we were waiting for more people and would leave shortly. We waited until 3 pm, and no one showed up. The service was truly unacceptable to have waited in the heat for 3 hours and still no tour. We headed back to the ship, frustrated and HOTTTT. I am requesting a refund for poor service.
