We had an amazing time on this tour in Martinique! Our guide Christelle was incredibly enthusiastic about her island, sharing interesting historical facts and taking us to different places during the tour. A special highlight was tasting the delicious local food and drinks she prepared herself, thank you, Christelle 😁 The weather was not so good, but we did not really notice that because it was a lot to see and to explore. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Martinique for the first time!

Don't hesitate to book your tour with Karambole. Christelle is very informative. We stopped in Martinique on a cruise and the pick up and drop off were right as you get off the ship. We adjusted the gourmet food tour slightly as we had young children with us. We went to the Zoo and then stopped in St. Pierre. The zoo was beautiful and St. Pierre was very interesting. Christelle made homemade treats which were very good. We learned a lot about the history and culture of the island. She was very good and patient with our children and the van was the nicest we have ever been in on an excursion....very clean. We want to come back and will definitely use Karambole again. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful tour with Christelle, she is a star, knowledgeable and passionate. We learnt a lot from her interesting explanations ,she shared fun stories and historic facts with “verve” and lovely warm attitude. Husband and myself tried the GLOU GLOU FRESH tour and it turned out to be absolutely special !!! Christelle stopped the car to give us an incredible view of the TROIS ILETS bay and that was a stunning view, I mean it. We had asked to visit the Pottery Village and Christelle showed us also the incredible habitat of mangroves – with deep comprehension of the place. Other beautiful views were the Diamond rock (rich in History) and Anse d’Arlet, at every stop we were treated to tasty samples and pleasant drinks too !!! I was especially touched by the Cape 110 memorial, that Christelle presented with lots of details and passionate historic insight !! Both myself and husband were intrigued by downtown Trois-Ilets – and all in all we could gather many photos and heartfelt memories. THANK YOU , dear Christelle !! Next time we are in Martinique, we will be sure to try your PILE et FACE tour, can’t wait !!!

Don't look anywhere else. Best tour we have ever taken. 10 out 10. We did the day tour for cruisers. Can't go wrong with Chirstelle. well spoken in Engish. We been traveling or 30+ years.

We had an awesome day with Christelle when our cruise ship docked in Martinique. She has tremendous passion for her home and we loved everything about this tour. The stops are very diverse so we got to see a little of everything - a church, the rain forest, ruins, rum factory and a beautiful beach. The van was really Comfortable and Christelle was eager to please everyone on the tour. The local snacks and beverages were the cherry on top! I highly recommend this tour. Just book it!

We liked so much the first tour that we did in Martinique that we booked another one, one week later. Our first tour was in the North and Christelle was amazing. First stop was at Sacre Coeur Church which is built in the same style as Sacre Coeur in Paris. We continued through the mountaneous region of Martinique and we arrived at a nice waterfall where we were the only tourists at that time. St Pierre on the shores of Caribbean Sea was the next stop where we learnt about the tragedy that struck the biggest city in The Caribbean in 1902. Mount Pelee had the fastest and the most deadliest eruption that killed almost all the people in St Pierre. If you are lucky you can see the entire mountain on a clear day to see how imposing it is. Then we have visited Depaz distillery where we found out about the history of the place rebuilt by the only member of Depaz family that survived the Mt Pelee eruption just because he was in France at that time. Last stop was at a beach enjoying the local Lorraine beer, before going back to Fort de France. The entire tour takes 5 hrs and will take you in an amazing culinary experience (at every stop you will enjoy a local delicacy or a local drink). Second tour in the south was focused on the Diamond Rock, Grand Anse Beach, a photogenic church at Anse d’Arlets, Anse Cafare Slave Memorial and a distillery. Both tours are different and but amazing and Christelle is made for guiding this kind of tours. She even served local delicacies at every stop we made during the tour.

Our guide Crystal was great! She had made different snacks for along the way, different drinks to try, alcoholic and non. Several sites to stop at, limited to a small group (we had 5 people total) so very personal service. Highly recommend as a great way to see the island and learn.

Just returned to cruise ship from a tour with Christelle. This was an excellent tour. When I was planning our trip I found this tour on trip advisor and read all of her great reviews. She did not disappoint, our tour actually exceeded our expectations. Christelle shared the history of Martinique, shared local snacks and drinks with us. Her knowledge of the island and its history made the tour most interesting. We recommend this tour to anyone researching tours of this island.

Since we got back last December I've been asked about this tour dozens of times even though I posted a review when I got back last year. Can't say enough about how great our tour was last fall with Christelle. For those of your considering booking it, I cannot recommend this tour enough. It's top shelf, Christelle is the best on Martinique. I'm planning a cruise for next fall 2020 and can't imagine going back to Martinique and not spending my day with Karambola Tours and Christelle Eugene. I can't wait to go back. This tour was one of the highlights of my vacation everybody on our very nice tour bus had a once in a lifetime day. Don't miss this tour. Todd

We took this tour in December 2018, we arrived in Fort de France via cruise ship and Christelle was waiting for us at the port gate. Christelle is an excellant tour guide, providing clear, interesting information throughout the tour. At each stop she provides you with a sample of local food or beverage, which is a lovely touch. This tour exceeded expectations and would highly recommend it especially to those visiting by cruise ship.

We took a second tour with Christelle a few weeks ago while in Martinique. We did our first tour a few years ago and it was so much fun we were pleased to take another tour with this wonderful company. Christelle is such an amazing guide and teaches you so much about her country and it’s culinary delights! We toured the northern part of the island and had quite a few stops with sweets and liquor provided along the way. It was so much fun. Would highly recommend this company and look forward to seeing Christelle on our next trip to Martinique. Judy and Dan.

We arrived here by way of cruise ship and this port was the only one we had not been to and were excited about our visit. Fort de France looks very modern and upscale. It seems everyone drives a Mercedes and our tour driver was no different! We had booked a half-day tour with Krambole Tours, and Christelle, our guide, was excellent, giving us information and history lessons along the way. Instructions were to meet her at the pier at 9:00. While we were waiting, it began to rain…oh, no! She arrived precisely at 9:00 and said that this was the first rain they’d had in months and they were glad to see it. Van loaded, we began our journey to the top of the mountain. First stop was a Catholic church that is magnificent. It’s an old beautiful church that has rich history. There are also restrooms here that are the last ones for a while. We left the church and headed to the rain forest. We saw the Alma River, and while most walked down to the Saut Gendarme water fall, I and another lady opted to stay in the van since it was raining and the steps to the falls were steep and wet. I didn’t want to chance slipping and breaking something -- like my pride! My husband said that was a good decision! From here we visited the ruins of an old theater in St. Pierre, the DePaz Rhum Distillery where we walked around the distillery outside and then went inside for some rum tastings. From the distillery we were on our way to Grey Sand Beach, our last stop. We also saw Mt. Pelee as we were driving along. At each stop, Christelle would present tasty local treats that she had prepared just for us. You do not get a lunch with this tour, and the treats she had prepared were more like snacks. The trip takes extremely winding roads up the mountain so if you have motion sickness, I would recommend you take whatever you use for that before the tour. Christelle has something she can give you, but I wished I had taken my Bonine! This tour costs 65 Euros pp and she prefers you pay with Euros. They are easy to order from your bank and have within a few days; otherwise it’s $85 pp. You may also pay with a credit card. We were the only ones paying with Euros and she was very appreciative. I would like to have been able to get out of the van along the way for photos, but there really isn't anywhere to pull over; that was the only thing I didn't like about it, not that many photo ops along the way. We enjoyed this tour and I believe you will, too.

We had the most incredible tour with Cristelle. She arrived promptly at the cruise port to pick us up and we were pleased to see her comfortable vehicle, with ample room for everyone. Her passion for Martinique shines throughout the tour and her pairings are absolutely delicious. It was such a nice touch to be treated with delicacies throughout our journey! Could not recommend this tour enough. Martinique is stunning. If we return, we will definitely contact her again for more touring options!

I had an amazing time with Christelle on my last full day in Martinique! Before I arrived on the island, she was very helpful and easy to speak to, which was especially helpful as an English speaker with only basic "how do you do?" French at my disposal. Christelle is incredibly warm, kind, and full of information about the history of Martinique and its present, along with local lore and legends. While many of the sites she took me to are well-known, I can't imagine learning or enjoying myself as much as I did with anyone else. And the treats that accompany the food and drink tour are so good! I highly recommend this tour for anyone coming to Martinique. It was the highlight of my trip.

Christelle was amazing! She was personable, funny, and shared great details about the history of her country. The bites and drinks were very tasty, and I wish she had a couple of them here in the US. I did the Pilet et Face Tour and had an amazing experience in the rainforest. The other stops before and after were also great, but the rainforest was breathtaking. I had never been in one before. Highly recommend! Really great for those who can't walk too much or - like myself, would rather ride in an air-conditioned car. The only thing that could've topped this was hiking the volcano, and it rained the day I was going to. So glad I at least left with this experience. Also, she speaks English for those who don't speak French.
