Janus,
Thanks so much for everything. We appreciate all your services. We had no issue getting back to the airport. We also enjoyed our private tour day with Danny...he was a great guide & taught us a lot about the island. Thanks again for everything; we will be sure to recommend you to others.

Hi Janus,
I'm already planning my next holiday!!!
Thank you so much for providing us with a stress-free safe passage to and from the hotel and airport. Your drivers were perfect gentlemen, and very helpful. We will definitely be using your service again for St. Lucia excursions and transfers, and will certainly recommend your service to anyone traveling to St Lucia. I have kept your details for when we return to St Lucia...hopefully in the not too distant future.Once again, thank you so much. Enjoy the sunshine!!

Hi Janus,
Lawrence did a great job in taking the places we wanted to go . We loved the mud bath and
seeing Soufriere volcano and the waterfall. The guided nature trail is beautiful and has
such a great view of the Pitons. He took us to great places to take pictures as well.
Good Job! We will tell others about your company tours.
Thank you,
Julie Smith

Hi Janus, it was lovely to be met at the gate. The driver was lovely, polite & helpful & gave us info about the island. Winston was also a very good driver & despite the steepness of the roads we felt very safe.
Many thanks for your help & efficiency in sorting our travel arrangements out.

Hello Janus, We were late upon arrival to St. Lucia, but as promised, our guide was waiting on us with a sign with my name on it. Our tour guide was Lawrence, and we had a wonderful time with him. Lawrence is very knowledgeable, and knows how to treat his guests. He is an asset to your business. My family and I agree that St. Lucia was the best of our island visits. The beauty and hospitality are second to none. I would highly recommend anybody to visit St. Lucia, and advise them to use your tour service (and ask for Lawrence!!) Thanks again for the lovely time,

Bellant and family.

Hi Janus:

The Island Expo was fabulous! Dave arrived at our resort right on time. We embarked on our 5 hour excursion which was great. Dave realized the cruise ships were in so he bypassed the Marigot highlight, until on the way back, to keep ahead of the crowds. At the first stop he expertly told us how to bargain with the vendors and it worked!! He even realized we were shortchanged at the Piton Falls highlight and "discussed" the mistake with the cashier getting us the right amount.

Having Dave as our personal guide made the excursion worthwhile. He didn't rush us, was very courteous and even took our pictures at the mud bath--and we only asked him to hold our camera!
The tour delivered everything you promised and more. We learned so much about the island's history and current events.

I can't imagine a better way to explore beautiful St. Lucia then with your tour. Keep up the great work!!

Our tour was awesome! Danny went out of his way to make sure that we saw everything that we wanted to see and other sights that he thought we would enjoy. And enjoy we did! From the volcano to the beautiful Botanical Gardens and the stops along the way to enjoy fresh mangos, bananas, coconut, bread and the local beer, it was all fabulous. Real St. Lucia Tours is the real deal and I would recommend it to anybody visiting your beautiful island. When we visit again in the future, I will definitely book another tour.

Thank you so much for making our visit a memorable one!

Janus,

We had a great time on our guided Island Expo tour, getting to see all the sights of your beautiful island. I think the highlight was stopping at the Sulphur Springs and enjoying a mud bath - our kids really enjoyed that, and it was among their favorites of our entire cruise. We were especially impressed that there was no charge for the children, only for the adults. Winson was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the island, its history, and the various sights we saw. He monitored our time well ensuring we were back at the port on time, even after we spent extra time at the mud bath. We look forward to coming back on another trip to get to the top of the Pitons with you!

Thank you,

Kevin

Hello Janus,

Yes all three of our experiences with Real St Lucia more than met our expectations. Everything was organized expertly and we were all very impressed. Lawrence and Danny were courteous, prompt, pleasant and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful half day tour with Dave who made enjoying your beautiful island unforgettable. As our time was limited we only got an overview of the many things St Lucia has to offer, so we hope to be able to visit again soon. Certainly Real St Lucia will be a part of our next visit, and we will recommend it to anyone who is planning a trip to paradise!

Once again, thank you for everything and we look forward to using your excellent services again in the near future!

Thanks and best regards,

Dino.

Dear Janus

Thank you for the great tour of St.Lucia. Sammy was a well informed great guide of your beautiful Island. My travel companions were a little worried about using a private tour company, there fears were soon relaxed. The tour van was great and we saw a lot of your Island. Thank You very much!!! We will definitely use your service next time we are in St.Lucia. We will be back.... It is our favorite Island in the Caribbean!
Regards,

Rob

Hi Janus,

Let me tell you.... Of all the islands we visited on our cruise, St. Lucia is the far best island we visited.. Danny is one tour guide you do not want to lose... From beginning to end!!! He took us around the whole island to all the points of interest that we like.. was very patient and allowed enough time for us to enjoy St. Lucia. He stopped off and got us some local bananas, and a bunch of pomsethere ( golden apples) and butter bread.

The waterfall was great and the kids loved it.. felt like home for a moment! I personally loved the sulfur springs.. :) He and my hubby both shared similar vehicular interest and while we were touring he was showing him what he was looking for as options.. ( i think that was golden)... Danny was informative, interactive and very hospitable. We are able to take back historical knowledge as well as our adventure as memorbilias... A definite must to revisit lovely St. Lucia..

thank you!!

Hi, Janus. We appreciate so much the professional & experienced guide, Sammy! He was was very informative, understandable & most of all FUN! He certainly knew his island home and his pride in showing it to us was very warm and wonderful. St. Lucia tours can't be beat! All of our cruise passenger friends were very envious when we told them of our private tour for less than what they paid for on the cruise line. Never will forget the bananas! The queen of England is a lucky lady to have the corner on the market for those beauties! Wonderful, Wonderful Day!

Hi Janus!

We had a fabulous time on our tour thankyou. Danny was fantastic,what a great guy, he showed us everything we wanted to see and gave us lots of information on st.lucia. He was flexible with us and didn't rush us in any way and gave us lots of tips and advice along the way. We were also so grateful to him for taking lots of photos for us, he handled our SLR camera with care and confidence - like a pro! The scenery in st.lucia is so beautiful and we were so glad to experience it this way instead of on a big tour bus with lots of other people! Danny also took us to a great little place for lunch where we got to try some real local food. We would have no hesitation in recommending Danny to other tourists who want to have a personal experience of the real st.lucia! Thankyou!!

Janus,

Thanks for providing a great service. I was leaning to renting a car during my stay, but now I am glad to have used your airport transfer services. If I would have been driving, I would have missed everything trying to figure out how to navigate and getting used to the driving.

Gideon and Shawn were both gracious drivers who made the trip much more personable. I felt like I didn't just hang out at a resort, I got to know the people and culture. Both drivers were attentive to detail, accommodating, and focused on us enjoying ourselves.

You island home is beautiful and a paradise unto itself, but your greatest treasure is your people. We made many friends along on our excursion and they will reside in the fond memories we carry with us of St. Lucia.

Yea, mon.

Dear Janus,

Danny was wonderful. He was full of information and included several “special stops” that gave us local experiences; fresh coconut water and jelly, fresh bread, etc.
We really enjoyed his service!

I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Regards,

Sarita

Hello Janus,

the day on St. Lucia was a great experience for a party of five german cruise-liners.You had made reservation and booking per online easy, the guide was the best, we had wished to focus on Castries, the Diamand Falls with Bontanical Garden and a snorkeling beach. He made our wishes and dreams come true, was a safe driver. The car was very comfortable and the return to the pier on time.

Thanks, we will come and ask your for service again, best regards, Gustav

Mr. Janus, Just wanted to let you know that we enjoyed our Piton hike. We just did not have the time to complete it. We will have to try again next year. Our driver and guide were excellent! Thank you for helping to make our time in St. Lucia so memorable. Jeri Reffitt

Hello Janus,

We had a great time in St. Lucia. Sammy did an excellent job showing us the best of your beautiful island. I was extremely impressed with his professionalism. He made the entire day a fun-filled one where we were able to learn so much and see the sights and cultural aspects. We tried banana ketchup, creole bread and cassava bread! He was great with the kids in our group too. I would highly recommend your services, and especially our friend Sammy, to anyone visiting St. Lucia.

Best regards and thank you!

Hello Janus,

We really had a nice time. Our guide, Danny, picked us up on time and did his best from the beginning of the day. He took us to all the places we wanted to see, showed us a few other beautiful places, provided us with interesting information about St.Lucia, let us taste several local products (bread, coconut, banana chips and beer) and was really helpful in all respects.

We really like the tour and we would like to thank you (and especially Danny) for it.

hi Janus, St Lucia was my favorite island, the most authentic and full of original different culture. Sammy was amazing, we loved the cassava breads , creole bread and the lunch at Fedos was superb! You are lucky with the food you have in your country, i would be so fat!

All the best and thank you!
Maria

We really loved the tour and the tremendous job Sammy did for us. We will ALWAYS remember him and the close up look he gave us to all parts of the island. I highly recommend you folks to anyone who wants a superior experience at a very fair price. God Bless all of you!

Janus,

Elizabeth and I absolutely loved our tour of your beautiful island of St. Lucia. Our guide Linus (not sure about the spelling) was everything we had hoped for. He was extremely knowledgeable, funny, courteous and we just genuinely enjoyed our time with him. I give you my word that I will recommend youur company to friends that may be traveling to St. Lucia.

Please tell Linus that Elizabeth and I send our best and one more Thank You for a great tour.

Sincerely,

Stephen

Hello Janus,

I just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed our day in St. Lucia. Drew was a wonderful guide and driver. He took us for a lunch that was enjoyed by all of us and at an extremely reasonable price. I had mentioned that we had teenagers with us, and we probably would have liked a little more beach time for them, however completely understandable that St Lucia's roads take considerable time to get from one place to another.

Thank you, I'll be back to St Lucia one day, and hopefully sooner than later.

We had a wonderful, full day with Lambert. He was very informative, kind and accommodating! We were surprised at how much we were able to do and see in just one day. We look forward to returning to St. Lucia some day and will certainly call you for another tour!

Thank you,

Hey Janus

We have conquered the Gros Piton !

The view was breathtaking, the hike a bit of a challenge in some spots ( not for James ) but we've done it and it was worth it !
Great guide - Cameron , really patient with wonderful stories. Vincent is a great driver, the roads are definitely a challenge here, but he got us safely there and back.

Thanks again

Regards

Janus, our visit to St. Lucia was wonderful. Our only regret was we couldn't stay longer. David was the best - personal, friendly, informative, and very proud of "his" island. Great match for our group. A special thanks to you, also, for arranging everything, responding quickly to all my e-mails/questions, and taking a personal interest in our trip. Good luck in your future endeavors - we wish you and your company the very best in the future.

Davie was fabulous. He was there on time, was so pleasant and did a wonderful tour. In addition he was a cautious driver. He also took care of our transportation needs the following morning for the relatively short cab ride between hotels.

Thank you so much for your assistance.

We visited the Caribbean in the middle of 2009, and man did we enjoy it. The beaches, the rainforests and the breathtaking Pitons had to be seen to be believed. Our holiday was exceptional thanks to the excellent tour guides that showed us around the magnificent island. Janus and the team at Real St.Lucia Tours provided a friendly and professional service, and we have no doubt that we will back again very soon!

Scott C Dudley

Hi Janus

I just wanted to say a big thank you to your team for organising our transport for us. Our driver, Martin, was very friendly and helpful and in addition to the airport transfer, he also took us to Soufriere for the day to show us the Botanical Gardens, the volcano, the sulphur springs and Piton Falls.When we return to St Lucia, we will be sure to book your services again. Thank you for helping to make our trip so memorable,

best regards

"JUST BOOK IT"

St. Lucia is one of the smallest islands in the eastern Caribbean, at 27 miles long and 14 miles wide, this Caribbean gem is covered with lush greenery and is circulated by turquoise blue, sparkling water that wash onto shores of glittering, black volcanic sand. Having experienced such a secluded island full of culture, character, and exotic extravagance; I am no longer fearful of opening my mind, body, and soul to what the entire universe has to offer. And to an experience so enlightening I must thank the team at Real St. Lucia Tours, who contributed greatly to my St. Lucia déjà vu. So to the Friday night seafood festival, to the tours around the island accompanied by all the local food and rum, and to the amazing resort selected for me, I trust and thank Real St. Lucia Tours for a holistic and fun fulfilling vacation experience on the extraordinary island of St. Lucia.

"BEST TOUR EVER"

As our cruise ship got nearer to the shores of St. Lucia, I stood on the balcony in awe, and exhilarated to explore the many wonders of this exceptional Caribbean island which I had heard so much of from friends and family. As I walked out and unto the port of St. Lucia’s capital city, Castries, a local guide which I had previously booked online from Real St. Lucia Tours stood a few feet away from me holding a sign, which indicated to me that my adventure on the beautiful island was about to begin.

Real St. Lucia Tours gave us a real St. Lucia experience; therefore I must say they really live up to their name. We went from one attraction to the next, and in between stopped for jaw-dropping photo moments. Our guide also brought along beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, like the local fruit-punch, milk-punch, local beer, local soda, and fresh spring water, we also had local delicacies along the way at a small wooden hut, so we definitely had a local fest going on.

On arrival to what’s called the historical town of St. Lucia, “Soufriere”, my friends and I were up and about discovering all the natural attractions, from The Diamond Botanical Garden and Mineral Waterfall, to the stinky drive-in Volcano, where we took the black mud bath, from there we headed to the Pitons warm mineral waterfall, which was at the foot of the cone shaped Petit Piton, that was phenomenal. After visiting so many attractions, our guide took us down to the Malgretoute beach where we had a Creole lunch, drank beers and took a boat back to the town of Soufriere, where we met with our guide once again, drove us back to the port and cruised away to our next destination. St. Lucia, this is one experience I personally will remember.

“One Love, with Real St. Lucia Tours. Reggae sun is the best.”

Real St. Lucia Tours is the reason why our St. Lucia vacation has been so memorable. From every angle of St. Lucia, from the land to the sea tours, we did it all. Friday night fish fiesta in the village of Anse La Raye, also Friday night jump-up street party at Gros Islet. Our day trip from Castries to Soufriere was one of the best. The zip-lining in the south, and ATV tours was awesome. If you are planning on visiting St. Lucia, Real St. Lucia Tours should be your only option. They don’t just show you a good time in St. Lucia, they get in the fun too.

"REAL TOURS FROM REAL ST. LUCIANS"

We are a group of 120 persons, who travelled to St. Lucia in January. We were booked at the Almond Morgan Bay at Choc Estate, Castries, and with much to pay for accommodation we were hoping to pay a lot less for our airport transfers and island activities. This is where Real St. Lucia Tours came in, with an affordable do-it-all island package, we got an all-inclusive rate for airport transfers, and island touring with sumptuous local food and beverage, entrance fees to sightseeing attractions, and even a boat tour of the world renowned Pitons.

Booking with Real St. Lucia Tours was absolutely dynamic, they exceeded our expectations. All 120 persons in the group were relieved to have such an outstanding company represent us. Now we are considering returning to St. Lucia, possibly next year, and Real St. Lucia Tours is definitely our provider for airport transfers, island touring, and much, much, more St. Lucia adventure.

"A hell of a good time in St. Lucia"

You can’t enjoy the many wonders and unknown hot spots in St. Lucia unless you book with a St. Lucia touring company like Real St. Lucia Tours, these show you a great time. Not the boring guided tours where you sit and listen to a guide talk away, while you’re falling asleep. I always got into the fun, exploring, discovering, and sampling St. Lucia’s finest delicacies. The Fish Fiesta on a Friday night at Anse La Raye, really brought it, eating barbequed jumbo lobster fresh from the sea, and throwing down the local Piton beer, was my evening delight. The round the island St. Lucia bash with our special guide and taxi driver, Ian, was a Caribbean fete. Looking forward to seeing St. Lucia in the next 6 months, and booking my next island fiesta with Janus at Real St. Lucia Tours. Thanks man.
