I am so proud to be a part of "Swiss Nation". Swiss was excellent and did a fantastic job showing us around. He is very knowledgeable and made the tour a blast. I really enjoyed this tour. Thank you Swiss.

Trip tour started from a pick up from the Sandals regency La Toc. Our guide was Mr. Harris or Swiss. He was the best. He was friendly, funny, and very informative. I recommend this tour. It’s laid back but you really get to enjoy the beauty as well as culture of the island. Good food, dancing, and shopping makes this worth doing.

During our visit to the Sandals Halcyon Resort, we wanted to do an excursion to learn a little about the island. This Best of St Lucia tour turned out to be the right choice. Big Rich turned out to be a great driver (extremely important on the ridiculous winding mountain roads), and also a very informative tour guide. We saw a lot of the island and learned a lot about it's history. And going to Fond Latisab was very interesting, especially seeing how they make cassava bread...and tasting it. Definitely a good way to learn something about St. Lucia, without a lot of walking or unbearable heat.

We had a wonderful experience with both Richard (driver from the airport to Sandals) and James (heritage tour and driver from Sandals to the airport). Richard was very kind and had us stop for homemade creole bread fresh from the stone oven on our way to Sandals. What a fantastic treat after 6.5 hours worth of flights! Richard shared a lot of east coast history and recommended places to visit while in St. Lucia. Not to mention knew the back ways to get us around cruise ship traffic. James was our heritage tour driver and we had a full day of sight seeing and learning about St. Lucia history. We had a fantastic time with James and highly recommend him for a private tour. James was highly personable and entertained all our questions from history, economy, wildlife, nightlife and was well respected wherever we went. If you stop at the Botanical gardens, you need to try the waxed apple.

My family and I had the opportunity visit St.. Lucia. We had the fortune of using Superior Tour Services, which was great. Kim and Big Rich were able to customize and personalize our tours to our likng. They are both professional, knowledgeable and extremely flexible. We were able to do a cultural tour, zip lining, a tour of the volcano, as well as other local cultural attractions. If you appreciate local culture and are also looking for contemporary entertainment, this is the company to use.

My husband and I had a fabulous time touring Casteries, St. Lucia via a motor and walking tour including University of West Indies and other local stops along the way. My favorite was the walking tour of a local farm where we experienced them making bread, showing us plants and fruit trees, tasting fresh fruits, freshly baked bread, and refreshing beverage. We were also taught some of their heritage dances and songs. Big Rich was a wonderful and knowledgeable host sharing the history of St. Lucia. Thanks Big Rich for an awesome experience! This is worth your time and money!👍🏽

<p>This was a nice driving tour of the area around Castries, and had some spectacular views of the city. The trip to see how cassava bread was made, the fruits and vegetables grown in the area, and the local dancing was very fun. We also got to make a trip to the Castries market to do a little shopping, and took a few minutes to look around one of the largest Catholic Cathedrals in the Caribbean. This was a good way to see a bit of old life and current life in St. Lucia.</p>
