Not even worth $50

Bruce_G, Dec 2023

We expected an island tour. We spent over $190 for two of us. No tour bus. We could not understand the tour guide (he was very polite and friendly). We spent a good amount of time doing nothing. What a waste of money!

TERRIBLE waste of a day on a beautiful island!

Lynne_S, Jan 2023

Terrible experience and waste of money. We waited nearly an hour past the designated start time for the tour driver to get there. The man who we found sitting on a wall outside the gates said she was stuck in traffic. Later the driver had a different story about taking another group to catch up with their tour. Once in the minivan I asked her to tell us a little bit about the island. Her: I don’t know what you want to know, you have to ask questions. You will find out at the museum. Her: Do you know what are you supposed to see? Her: We are are supposed to stop for lunch. You’re on your own, of course. There is a Wendy’s. Would you like to stop there? (That’s sure a cultural experience, right?) We stopped at Pedro St. James. This was worthwhile except the tour had already started so we were put in with that group and missed the beginning and entered partway through a film. Afterwards we negotiated a few stairs (he uses a walker) and found ourselves in a lovely area with a walkway to the restored home. The woman running the tour came running out to tell us our tour guide said we were in a hurry and we wouldn’t be staying for this part of the tour. We stayed. She drove us past some government buildings then took us to the Museum (walking distance from the ship). It was up a flight of stairs but it didn’t matter. It was CLOSED. I told her to take us back to the ship. And voiced my frustration because of the short time (about 1 hour 15 minutes). So instead of returning to the ship she drove us around. She pulled into the driveway of the Governors mansion and was chased off by the guard. She drove into the parking lot at Hell, but it was closed. We spotted a rum distillery so we asked to stop. It turned out to be a store. We used the bathroom and she ate. Then we went back to the ship. When we reserved this tour we asked Viator to check to assure it was an accessible tour with a walker. They confirmed it was. Neither the closed museum or the tour at Pedro St. James are accessible to those with mobility issues. It was Boxing Day- a holiday on the Island and much was closed. Knowingly selling a tour on that day was truly dishonest of this tour company. I would love to get my money back.

Hello Lynne, We are sorry you did not have an enjoyable time with us. We are sorry for the inconvenience and will process a refund for your tour.

Good trip

Sheryl_S, Apr 2019

Five of us enjoyed a nice day on Grand Cayman. Our guide was local and gave us insights on his island. Unfortunately we did not see all the locations listed on the tour because some were closed. That was disappointing but overall it was a good trip.

Response from Host, May 2019

We apologize that some attractions were closed due to Easter Weekend holidays. We tried our best to make the trip worthwhile for you. We thank you for your review and hope we can take you on a Full Tour on your next visit.
