Great intro to Tortola! We only had 5 hours in Tortola and had never been to this island so we wanted a overview ...and our driver was great. Small bus and we went around and over the entire island...stopping at senic picture spots for pic time. He was able to answer all our questions and gave us a great historical perspective on the island' s development. Loved this tour..perfect for first timers.
My mom, sister and I had the chance to go on this excursion on Thursday, March 12 with Ramdat. By some weird circumstances, we ended up being the only ones to book this excursion from our cruise ship, the Norwegian Encore. In spite of this, we were still provided a large and comfortable shuttle van for our excursion. Quick side note: It was very easy to locate our meeting place and arrive at the van for our tour. From there, we were given some of the history of Road Town before venturing up higher into the hilly mountainsides. The roads on Tortola are quite the experience. They are steep and narrow and it's often hard to believe that they're two-way roads. Ramdat was a very skilled and patient driver though and I felt at ease throughout our journey. While driving across the island, he did a great job of sharing information about the history and culture of BVI. He provided us with various anecdotes, answered our questions and constantly checked in on how we were enjoying our experience. He also stepped in as our photographer at times so we could have some group shots of the 3 of us. Overall, this was a great excursion to introduce us to the wonders of Tortola. We would definitely recommend this to others.
Really enjoyed our tour. The tour guide was wonderful. He knew a lot about the island and answered all our questions. I had a walker and he was very helpful with this and had me sit up front in the van to make it easier for me.
A very interesting and beautiful tour the driver was very knowledgeable and fun. Great driver to navigate that bus thru the small streets. There was a guide who was learning and she was not very helpful as I am sure it was her first day. But he filled in just perfectly. Highly recommend this tour.
