A day to remember - Spent a fantastic day with Donny, he was a gem, friendly and considerate, nothing was too much trouble to make sure we had a day to remember. He was very knowledgeable, explaining about the island and what it's like to live there. The talk from the owner of the chocolate factory was very informative and the samples were delicious. Best part for me was watching and feeding the Mona monkeys. The Grand Etang Lake, Annandale waterfalls and the beach were all beautiful, what a way to spend the last day of our cruise.

Must use tour guide in Grenada - Our family had a great time with Donnie. He gave us a tour of the island and discussed the history of it! We had a great time visiting the waterfalls and the rum tasting. We got a great picture with a monkey. He is so nice and it was a wonderful day!

Excellent Tour & Guide - We had booked the half day Hawaiian Leis, Chocolate Waterfalls & Beach tour to collect us from the Port ( cruising on Arvia with P&O).
Donney contacted us regularly before the trip and sent us a photo of himself with our names on a sign, showing where he was waiting for us.
After alighting the mini-van, he realised there was a problem with the tyre valve and promised us it would be quickly dealt with.
True to his word, he took us immediately to a reputable garage 2 mins drive away and the new valve was sorted in 10 mins. We felt reassured by this quick decisive action, that we were in safe hands and not a cowboy who was out to make a quick dollar.
We were the only 2 guests that day, so my friend and I, had Donney's full attention.
We were driven across the island with a running commentary on geography, history, local culture, population figures and were especially impressed with the lack of crime on the island. We even went past Donney's childhood village and said hello to his Father.
Next, we were taken to the lake area to feed the "Lake Monsters" and hopefully see the monkeys. Unfortunately, it was raining at this point, and the monkeys refused to come out and get wet.
We then drove up to a different area of the rain forest, where there ere stalls selling spices, clothing, gifts etc, but behind them we did see the monkeys and Donney had the foresight to bring banannas to attract their attention and they came down to take food from our hands.....amazing experience.
Donney then took us to the chocolate factory where we were introduced to the owner. Again, we received a really interesting and knowledgeable tour, tasting the chocolate and seeing the various trees/plants that were growing on site. The smell as you walked into the shop is fantastic.
We were then transported to the waterfalls and treated to local daredevils, jumping into the pool at the bottom. Breathtaking area of natural beauty.
After this, Donney took us for a rum demonstration & tasting session. The strongest of these is local and fermented and will blow your socks off.
During all this time, Donney was attentive and answered any questions we had. We felt that we were really getting a 5 star service and because we were the only guests that day and he had needed to fix the tyre first, he gave us more time than the half day we had booked. We negotiated further extra time with him and asked if he could take us to a good beach. He said this was no problem but decided to avoid the main touristy beach and took us to a quieter local beach which was idyllic. We had arranged for him to get us back to the port for 4pm and he was duly waiting for us, as promised.
What a truly magical day around a beautiful island, made to feel so welcome by Donney and everyone he introduced us to that day. Donney was such a gentleman and couldn't do enough for us. I would highly recommend his tour and do hope to be back on another of his tours when I return in the future. Thankyou Donney for an unforgettable day.

Excellent Tour visiting some of Grenada's Highlights - Donney Best picked us up at the cruise port. We were a group of 12 adults. Our tour was not till 2pm as the ship docked at 1pm. We all had a very enjoyable afternoon with Donney. We went to waterfalls, a National Forest, Spice Shop and Rum Tasting at a bar. Due to an afternoon tour we missed the Chocolate tasting but that did not take away from a wonderful afternoon. We also got to watch the sunset on a beach with a cocktail before returning to our ship. Donney's minibus is comfortable, and Donney very understanding and helpful with some mobility issues I had. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Grenada. Thank you Donney for the memories!

Very Personable and Friendly - Enjoyed the tour with Donney. He showed us both the tourist locations as well as key parts of the island occupied by the people. Even showed us his hometown and some of his family and friends. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about his home. He was also very accommodating to us, even taking spontaneous requests. Highly recommend booking this tour and traveling the island with him.

No one is better than Donney!! - Donney Best is the BEST! We happened to come the week of Hurricane Beryl so our exploration time was cut a bit shorter than expected. We booked a trip with Donney for our last full day on the island and we couldn't be happier we did. He took us everywhere we needed to see before departing and gave us all the information we could ask for - and I ask a lot of questions (lol). He knows practically everyone on the island so even though the Grand Etang lake road was closed as they were clearing debris from Beryl we were still allowed to walk down and have the lake to ourselves! We can't thank Donney enough as now we feel we finally got to experience Grenada for all it truly offers! See you soon Donney - in Grenada or Boston!!
