My husband & I along with friends recently arrived at Fort de France on Anthem of the Seas. After reading reviews on tour guides, we chose Thomas Vincent, who was to be our guide for the day. He took us on a six hour tour to various locations which he mentioned in prior emails to my husband. Thomas does speak English although he is French.
The tour started in the city. The drive took us into the mountains towards the rain forest. Our first stop was, Sacre Coeur of Balata Church. It's a beautiful Catholic church and a replica of a church in France. We continued to the rain forest where he stopped and took a short walk to a lovely waterfall.
Continuing on, we stopped at Jardin de Balata, a tropical garden which had several walking paths among the vegetation and a beautiful view of the island's volcano. Next stop was the Depaz Distillery where we tasted several local rums.
His tour continued along beaches and the views were just lovely. These are just a few of the sights we saw on our tour. Thomas and his wife do the tours. He brings refreshments (local juices made on the island). He is a wealth of island information and very personable. His wife followed our van with another couple. They stay together when they have multiple guests. You would not be disappointed with a tour with Thomas Vincent. He makes the tour more personal than a big bus tour. If you are looking for a relaxing tour of Martinique, you will not be disappointed if you tour with him.
