Tortola Through the Voice of a Local - We enjoyed the historical and interesting information about the places we visited in the voice of an islander. We felt the places on the tour took us away from the crowds and off the beaten path to mix more with the culture and people of Tortola.

Perfect Shore Excursion—Fun, Flexible, and Full of Local Flavor! - My partner and I did this self-guided audio walking tour while in port for the day, and it was a fantastic way to explore Road Town! The Actionbound app was simple to use, and the tour let us move at our own pace—no rushing, no big crowds. The stories were rich with history and local charm, and we loved being able to stop when we wanted—for photos, a drink, or a little shopping. Yes, it’s warm (you’ll definitely feel the Caribbean sun!), but there’s shade along the way and plenty of places to pause and cool off. Perfect for couples, older travelers, and curious cruisers looking for something unique and authentic beyond the usual tours. Highly recommended!
