Absolute Must for Experiencing St. Lucia! - This trip was so much fun- absolutely worth it! It’s a must do if you want to experience St. Lucia! The tour guides were are amazing, and the experience was excellent! The food was so delicious!

Breathtaking!!!! - Most memorable moments was definitely the therapeutic mud bath. Also the breathtaking views of the majestic Pitons and the fantastic hues of the beach.

Great experience and great tour guide! - We did the land tour and it was a really good way to see the island. We were picked up from our hotel in Rodney Bay and it was quite a long drive to the sulphur springs but Smalley our guide was entertaining and provided interesting facts along the way. We had a great lunch and really enjoyed our time at the springs and the waterfalls. Would thoroughly recommend this tour!

Beautiful Island of St. Lucia with a Beautiful Crew - Placid and Edmund are amazing tour guides. They are knowledgeable of their island, very friendly, outgoing and helpful. We toured both land and sea of St. Lucia with local stops, snorkeling, local food provided, stop at a beautiful waterfall, mud bath and more. The driving is windy but if you take medicine it’s okay. They provided rum punch (yummy) and other drinks such as sprite and Coca Cola, helped everyone get on and off the boat with gentleness. This tour really did make our honeymoon 10x better! We met some great people that also made it a lot of fun. WORTH THE MONEY, you will not regret it!

A good combination of beach, mountain and river - The boat trip to Sugar Beach was short but exciting due to the possibility to see the Pitons from another angle. The waterfalls and the mud bath were also nice experiences. Our driver/guide Smallie was friendly and efficient, making sure that all pax had a good time, also taking pictures for everyone.

Island tour - Snorkeling and the mud baths. Very knowledgeable guy, Smalley; shame the roads are so bad and the journey back was horrible.

Not good value for money - The only highlight was the trip to the Pitons with snorkeling and a stay at the beach. The rest is negligible in my opinion. Most of the time is spent on the bus. Therefore, the cost of US$135 is not appropriate.

Tour not as advertised - The tour was not as advertised or detailed in the booking information below. We were supposed to stop at Castries for 10 mins to see the church. We neither stopped nor drove passed it. We drove passed the airport and went into the harbour dock, neither of which interested me. The 10 mins stop would also have been welcomed after sitting in a crowded bus for an hour or so. No explanation was given. We were supposed to stop and visit Anse La Raye Quarter. We didn't. No explanation was given. We were supposed to stop at Canaries and visit the village for 15 mins. We didn't. No explanation was given. At Soufriere we were supposed to have the opportunity of visiting the town. We didn't. When we arrived we were herded of the bus straight onto a speed boat which took us to Sugar Beach. At Sugar Beach we were herded into a very small corner so that some people could go snorkelling. We were there for an hour. There is absolutely no mention of this in the booking itinerary. I went on this tour to "Discover St Lucia" not sit on a beach which I could have done at my hotel or near by. In the tour description you state, "water, sodas, beers and unlimited rum punch" are included. The first time any of these items was offered was at Sugar Beach and then only for the hour we were there. We sat on a bus for over 3 hours to get to Soufriere and I had expected to be offered a bottle of water during that time, from a health and safety aspect if nothing else. In fact, from a H&S aspect we should have been given a bottle of water immediately we got on the bus. Due to your description, I did not take my own water to reduce what I was carrying. We were supposed to visit hummingbird beach. We didn't. I would hazard a guess its name derives from the fact there are humming birds there. It would have been nice to see them. For some unknown reason, we visited a crack in some sea rock to see bats. This was not on the itinerary and we were there barely 3 minutes before being whisked away. Our tour guide Smallie did talk about bats before we got to Soufriere, but it was done in a way to tease the ladies about their make-up. At lunch all we got was a very small cup of juice and water. No beer, sodas or rum punch were available when I requested one. Unlimited, I think not!! The only other time drinks were offered was after bathing in the sulphur springs and then for only 15 or 20 mins. A 15 mins stop at the Pitons was scheduled for after the visit to Soufriere which didn't happen. We went straight to the waterfall and then the sulphur springs. Admittedly we did stop before arriving at Soufriere and got off the bus to take photos of the Pitons, but I don't define that as stopping at the Pitons. Stopping at the Pitons would be similar to what is included in the Hotel Chocolate tour. In fact, in the "ticket" I subsequently was sent, it states entry/admission to the Pitons is included. The Pitons is only a short distance from the sulphur springs, so made sense to visit from there. Your description states that this Excursion covers all the main highlights and attractions of the island by land. There is nothing about going in a boat and a speed boat at that. It also states that it allows us to explore the island at our own pace. Not correct, the pace and places were solely dictated by the driver, including, at least 25 minutes sitting, looking at a cruise liner. Thats time we should have spent visiting the cathedral. You state this is not a crowded tour. The bus was full with about25 people and then we packed another 4 in at Soufriere. I call that crowded.

Verry verry bad company, - terrible company, didn't even bother to indicate in advance that the tour was cancelled due to lack of participants but did charge the amount to your credit card. Upon arrival at the port, the coordination and handling of the tour was very chaotic, and yes you can blame it on the crowds due to multiple cruise ships, but that is also known in advance and so you can respond to that. in short, if possible don't book anything with Edmund Tours, you can be very disappointed and they keep you on land for more than half an hour in the dark about how, what and where about your tour.

Buyer Beware! - Really disappointed. We had hoped to have far more sea time in the land and sea tour. The driver went to seven different resorts to pick everybody up. This meant that the first couple were on a bus for three and a half hours until we finally arrived at the boat segment. This was exacerbated by the driver having to return to one of the resorts because he forgot to pick a couple up. This added half an hour to the outbound journey time. The sea part entailed a five minute boat ride to another beach where we had just over an hour to snorkel. This is when the fabled free bar opened. It was a cool box. It was open for the boat section of the tour only, so approx two hours. Due to a lack of time, the bus driver gleefully pointed out all the beauty spots where we would have stopped had we had time… The lunch was very nice, the waterfall and mud baths great but we had to hurry through both, because of time constraints. All in all, seven or eight hours out of ten on a minibus is not ideal so be prepared. The driver was knowledgeable and passionate but was unclear in his communication. It would have been better had he have told us a broad itinerary from the start and explained what was going on with an element of clarity.
