Before our Southern Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Valor, my husband and I decided that instead of taking one of their advertised shore excursions, we’d do our own research and try something different. We were so happy to have found James Touring Service on Trip Advisor! James is unlike the typical taxi driver you will find waiting outside the gates. Sure, you can hire a random taxi for $20-$30 who may claim to provide tours, but you will get what you pay for. That usually includes transportation from point A to point B and maybe a simple “lunch” of bread and cheese. With James and his friendly associate, Desiree, you will get SO much more than that! Pay a little more, and you will get a TOTAL St. Lucia experience all in the comfort of his clean, air conditioned “Pittsburgh Steelers” van complete with free Wi-Fi and refreshing drinks to keep you hydrated throughout the day. And if you're prone to getting motion sickness - don't worry! James is a cautious driver and takes those hairpin turns slow. If you're still concerned, take a few ginger tablets before the tour, and you should be fine! First, let me say, my husband and I had so much fun on the St. Lucia Land Tour! We felt like we were among good friends showing us their home. In addition to listening to an excellent, well-informed narrative of the island during the tour, we stopped at the best scenic locations, visited local merchants all hand-picked and approved by James, made several unexpected stops where James would treat us to local snacks, visited a banana plantation and tried some fresh, sweet bananas, had 10 years removed from our appearance at the volcanic mud baths, experienced a refreshing waterfall (aka “Power Shower”) and consumed a delicious island cuisine lunch at La Haut Resort overlooking the breathtaking Pitons! I thought I was in heaven! James Touring Service is truly the BEST way to experience St. Lucia for a day! Thank you James & Desiree! You made our trip to St. Lucia one we will never forget!

Ten of us booked a tour with James in early February when we went on a cruise. We cannot say enough how much we enjoyed this tour. We went to a banana plantation, Hot Springs, Mud Bath, Waterfalls and an awesome luncheon with a breathtaking view. The food was awesome. He has wifi in his van which is very convenient with beverages as well. We cannot believe everything we were able to do and see in such a short time. We were able to get a feel and taste of their culture and see so much of St. Lucia. As you are traveling, he provides us with such much history. He will customize your tour to what you like and want to do. I have done many tours and I rate this as one of the best. We will definitely use James again.
