AMAZING tour and guide! - Our tour with Mr Samuel aka Ruff was without a doubt the highlight of my trip. I went on the tour with my 5 year old daughter, mother and aunt, both of whom are in their 60s. The tour is quite long, but Mr Samuel is so knowledgeable about his island and so easy to chat with, we were never bored once. We first went to dark view falls and waded in the shallow waters, had a quick bite and then headed towards the most northern part of the island, where we saw first hand the destruction of the volcano. This was an unexpected detour and oh so worth it! Mr Samuel treated us like family, taking us to see these extra sites as we had shown great interest in the volcanic eruption from 2 years ago. From there, we went to the next site, wallilabou. Unfortunately, that site was closed unbeknownst to not only Mr Samuel, but other tour guides who were at a total loss as to what to do. Mr Samuel however, quickly offered us another site to visit the following day in exchange for the inability to visit wallilabou. From Wallilabou, we drove through Kingstown (this could have been a longer visit, as we wanted to come out and take pics but unfortunately were unable to) and then ended at Fort Charlotte. We were told that the fort was under construction and not open to the public, but Ruff has his connections, and we were able to enter and once again be educated by Mr Samuel. He truly is very knowledgeable about his island, and his pride and love for SVG is evident. Another point to note, and a VERY important one, is that my aunt unknowingly left a substantial amount of money in his van in error. Mr Samuel called us that very night to inform us of his find and assured us that it was safe with him. It was returned the very next day without any issue. This tour was incredibly informative, fun and we felt like we were with a good friend. The ONLY downside was the AC in the van... it would have to be taken off when going uphill, and the passengers in the back were uncomfortably hot for that part. Other than that, I whole heartedly recommend IV tours and Mr Samuel. Amazing and definitely worth the price! Do not hesitate to book with him!

Memorable experience - We used I V Tours, a local tour company here in St. Vincent. We couldn't have had better tour and guide. Orville was very knowledgeable about the island and he had first hand experience living here all his life. It was very interesting that he worked with the crew on the set of the movie, Pirates of the Caribbean. So when we saw the set he could point out the various details and how the were incorporated into the movie. He also had first hand experience with the eruption of the volcano in 2021. He was the main photographer of the eruption event and his pictures were featured by news media all over the world! We got to see the volcano from a distance and he took us to where we could still see where the volcano ash and debris had wiped out a river. The Dark View Waterfalls were beautiful and we were lucky to be the only ones there. Overall it was a wonderful tour with a very expetienced guide. I would highly recommend it.

Great experience & well worth it. - This trip was fantastic, our host was brilliant, his knowledge of his island was great. A really enjoyable day was spent by all .

Exhilarating & informative tour with a lovely, knowledgable driver & guide. - We took this tour as 2 couples & adult children. Our guide was so accommodating & knowledgable about the areas, history & places to stop. We got such great background knowledge on the Pirates of the Caribbean making that I don’t think we would have got with any other tour guide. He was invaluable in helping us navigating Dark View Falls, taking the best routes & getting great photos. Our tour was curated for us & included, a trip to Richmond & info about the volcano & river that flows into the sea there, I would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing tour - IV Tours provided an unforgettable experience during our visit to Saint Vincent, seamlessly blending adventure with local culture. The journey to Dark View Waterfall was nothing short of magical. As we trekked through lush, verdant landscapes, our guide shared fascinating insights about the flora and fauna, making the hike both educational and enjoyable. The waterfall itself was breathtaking, and the opportunity to swim in its cool, refreshing waters was a highlight of the trip. The tour continued with a visit to the iconic "Pirates of the Caribbean" filming locations. Our guide's knowledge about the movie's production and the area's history added an extra layer of excitement. It felt surreal to stand where such iconic scenes were shot and to hear behind-the-scenes stories. IV Tours excelled in their organization and hospitality, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience from start to finish. Their passion for Saint Vincent's natural beauty and cultural heritage was evident, making the tour not just a sightseeing trip but a deeply enriching experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the hidden gems of Saint Vincent.

SVG Favorite Sites - Absolutely incredible trip with Samuel, who is a natural historian who knows the area inside and out. Those who are planning a trip to St. Vincent should definitely make use of IV Tours.

The Best Tour Guide!!! - Review: Our experience with Ruff as our tour guide in St. Vincent and the Grenadines for the IV Tours' historic visit to the Dark View Tour was nothing short of excellent! Ruff's knowledge of the area's history and his passion for sharing it with visitors truly enhanced our experience. His friendly demeanor and professionalism made us feel welcomed and engaged throughout the tour. We highly recommend Ruff and IV Tours for anyone looking to explore the rich history of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

PRIVATE LEEWARD TOUR - (Possibly 4.5) Booked a private 2 person full day tour of the leeward side of St. Vincent, including the botanical gardens as an extra. It appeared that possibly the tour company was exceptionally busy that day and contracted our tour out. However; David was an excellent driver and very knowledgeable about St. Vincent. He totally covered any requested area and, in fact, spent extra time with us. Definitely a full day!
