A Must Do Tour in Port Of Spain! - If you're looking for an immersive, unforgettable tour of Port of Spain, this excursion is a must! The tour takes you through some of the city's most iconic landmarks, starting with the vibrant Independence Square. The lively atmosphere, framed by the impressive Central Bank and surrounding shopping streets, gives you a perfect introduction to the heart of the capital. Next, you'll explore Queen's Park Savannah, a vast 200-acre park with beautiful colonial mansions and lush greenery. The Magnificent Seven, with their intricate architectural designs, are a sight to behold. A peaceful stroll through the Royal Botanical Gardens provides a serene escape, where you can truly appreciate nature's beauty and marvel at the tropical trees that surround you. The National Museum and Art Gallery offers a brief but enriching stop, giving you a glimpse of the island’s rich history and culture. Then, head to Fort King George in St. James for breathtaking panoramic views of Port of Spain and beyond. On a clear day, you might even catch sight of the hills of Venezuela! The final leg of the tour takes you up the scenic north coast road to Maracas Beach. With its stunning coastal views and opportunities to sample local snacks, like the iconic Bake and Shark, this stop is the perfect end to a perfect day. You can even enjoy a swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean before heading back. As someone who was born and raised in Trinidad but left 20 years ago, it was truly special to return to my roots and share the experience with my husband, who has Trinidadian ancestry but had never visited before. This tour was the perfect way to introduce him to Port of Spain. We both loved the visit to Queen's Park Savannah and Fort King George, with its breathtaking views. And, of course, the trip to Maracas Beach was the perfect finale, where we got to taste the famous Bake and Shark and enjoy the cool Caribbean waters. With free admission at each location and a comfortable, informative pace, this tour provides an excellent introduction to the rich history, culture, and natural beauty of Trinidad. Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and really made the experience even more enjoyable. We both had an amazing time, and it was the perfect way to reconnect with the city I grew up in while introducing my husband to its beauty and charm. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Port of Spain!

Fun tour - Super fun tour with Enya, who brought a great energy throughout the day and was really kind. We had a lovely drive around Port of Spain and especially loved the beauty of the “seven” gorgeous historic buildings along the Savannah. Then we had a nice drive through the rainforest to Maracas Beach, which was so gorgeous. We loved the bake n shark with pineapple and tamarind. Great intro to a fab country. Thanks Enya!

Wonderful Trinidad Tour: Perfect for Layovers - Our 6-hour layover in Trinidad became an unforgettable adventure thanks to this exceptional tour. Our guide and driver, Enya, was the star of the show - personable, knowledgeable, and brimming with enthusiasm. As we explored Port of Spain, Enya shared insights into Trinidad's history, bringing each landmark to life. Her engaging personality made us feel like we were getting an insider's view of the island. The highlight was Maracas Beach, showcasing Trinidad's natural beauty. We enjoyed people-watching and delicious Trini fry bakes for lunch amidst the buzzing beach atmosphere. This tour is perfect for travelers with limited time. In just a few hours, we experienced a great taste of Trinidad's culture and beauty. Enya's expertise and enthusiasm, combined with the diverse sights, made for an outstanding experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Trinidad, even for a short time. It's an excellent way to make the most of a layover and leaves you with lasting memories.

Amazing experience. - They did not cancel the trip even though I was the only guest that day which I really appreciated. Khaleel was my guide and he is a thorough gentlemen. Knows the area in and out and has shared so many good stories. These guys are good at their job and highly recommended.

A beautiful way to explore Port of Spain, Fort George, and Maracas Beach - Getting a chance to see and understand some of the neighborhoods around PofS would not have been possible on my own. The drive and views from Fort George and Maracas Beach made this a win. Lastly, our tour guide was extremely informative, helpful, and friendly!

Interesting but not worth the costs…. Cheaper on Viator! - Interesting tour of Trinidad. You can book this cheaper through Viator. Kevin, our Guide was very knowledgeable and took us to all the popular sites. I don’t think it is worth $137 for two people.

Tour not as advertised - This is a hard review for me to write. Khalil, our tour guide was exceptional….knowledgeable, personable, and friendly. He is why I gave the review a 2. There were about 20 people on this tour. I was picked up promptly at my hotel at the designated time of 9:00 AM. Allegedly, the tour start time was delayed due to guests coming from Tobago on the ferry. If this was the case, then the tour should have been extended by the length of time we were delayed, instead of rushing through everything. They also need to change the wording in the posting to ensure accuracy. Independence Square - Stop: 20 minutes We drove through it / around it. There was no stopping. Khalil said something was happening in the Basilica so we could not go in. Queen's Park Savannah - Stop: 20 minutes We drove around it. We stopped on Maraval Road to see houses. They dropped us off and we walked past big houses and then they picked us up. Royal Botanical Gardens - Stop: 30 minutes We stopped here ONLY for a quick restroom break. National Museum and Art Gallery - Stop: 30 minutes We drove past it. There was no stopping. Fort King George - Stop: 20 minutes We did not go. Khalil said there was a landslide and we would not be able to go up there. We stopped at the Lady Young Road Viewpoint instead. Maracas Beach - Stop: 60 minutes This was the highlight. We did stop here. We had the opportunity to eat lunch, lay on the beach, and swim. The tour listing should not say “Includes food tastings……” when food tastings are not included. Lunch at Maracas Beach was at our own expense. Thank you Khalil for being a great guide! Island Experiences: Get better organized!
