StarTrkGeek Posted February 15, 2008 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2008 My wife and I will be leaving for the Southern Caribbean on Celebrity's Galaxy ship on April 7. We would like to take tours of Grenada, Barbados, Dominica, and St Lucia. The ship's excursions are much too expensive. Can anyone recommend a good, reliable tour company on each of those islands?

Hi there! You'll love all of those islands! You can click on my Amsterdam review in my sig for Grenada, Barbados and St. Lucia. You can click on my Volendam review in my sig for Dominica! Have a blast. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Vickie Posted February 16, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2008 We've used Mandoo in Grenada, Frank in St. Lucia, and Glory Tours in Barbados, and have thoroughly enjoyed all three. We'll be back in Grenada on Summit this coming January, and are thinking about contacting Mandoo again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry Baby Posted February 22, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2008 We recently sailed on Norwegian Gem Jan. 26 and Grenada was one of our ports. We also do not care to pay the long prices of the cruise line for tours when it can be done on your own. We searched the internet for advertising and found A and E Tours to offer what we wanted at a fair price. We agreed from home on $35 for about 4 hours. We found two more guests willing to take the tour, so we actually got a discount and all 6 of us paid $30 each. Our driver was Eddie Bailey and he was very agreeable. We saw many natural sights of the island, as he described the agriculture, the ravages of the hurricane, the school system, etc. We stopped at Annandale Falls, a spice processing plant, Grand Etang Lake, a rum distillery, Fort Frederick, and Grand Anse Beach. At each stop, we had time to get out and enjoy the sights, walk a little, take pictures, and even had about 45 minutes on the beach, as all 6 of us agreed. He even provided a soft drink and snack while we were at the lake. We had a longer tour than planned and returned to town about 3:00, six hours altogether. I would recommend this company very highly. aandetours@spiceisle.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzqueen Posted February 23, 2008 #5 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Mandoo is definitely the best with a wonderful reputation. http://grenadatours.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wineguys Posted February 23, 2008 #6 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I going to recommend A and E Tours. We got royal treatment with Eddie. It looks like Mandoo and Eddie are the main guys on the island and you can't go wrong with either of them. We stopped at Annandale Falls, a spice processing plant, Grand Etang Lake, Grenville, and spent about 3 hours lounging around and swimming and sunbathing at La Sagesse Beach while he and his assistant Michael waited. Both Eddie and Micheal were experts on different subjects and it was relaxing and educational without being boring. We paid $40 or $45 for an 8 hour day (I think it was $45 with a built-in gratuity I did for the CC Roll Call group of 10). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
