- TerryHenderson19630 contributionsAmazing and informative island tour!!!!We stopped to speak to Orville Samuel (known on the island as 'Ruff') when we came off our cruise ship. We were unsure at first because there were so many taxi drivers trying to get our business. He assured us that we could do an island tour and we be back in plenty of time, which we were. The tour lasted for about 1 hour 45 minutes. Ruff really was the real deal - a knowledgeable and friendly guy who took great pride in his island and knew it inside out. We went to several interesting places, and as we found out, this particular day was a public holiday (National Heroes Day), celebrating Joseph Chatoyer, Chief of the Caribs. One of our stops included the island's memorial service to Joseph, where there were lots of police officers, guides, young men dressed as Caribs, local people and other dignitaries in attendance. We were watching events from nearby, but the chief officer invited us to join everyone else and everyone seemed so friendly and welcoming. We did make some other stops as well, where we were afforded amazing views of the island and of the neighbouring island, Bequia. Some of the roads were narrow with tight turns and many had potholes - Ruff referred to these areas as 'Jerusalem' because they were 'holy' roads!! My wife and I both agreed that St Vincent was by far our favourite Caribbean Island on the cruise so far. Ruff was a careful and considerate driver, and his vehicle had WIFI as well. Ruff returned us to the port at 12pm, and I have to say, we had the best experience thanks to him making it so enjoyable.Written 24 March 2024
- nicolagO8013GK0 contributionsWonderful St. VincentHuge thanks to Orville Samuel who was our tour guide in St Vincent on 29th January. Was so knowledgeable and pleasant with a wonderful clean air-conditioned vehicle in which he transported us safely around the island on our wonderful tour. Would thoroughly recommend Orville to anyone needing independent tour services in St Vincent. This tour was one of the highlights of our cruise stops. 😁Written 20 February 2024

Excellent tour guide, extremely knowledgeable, as he explained he actual worked with the filming crews. Even on the drive to the location we were given some great local knowledge, and stops for some amazing photo ops of the beautiful scenery. We even visited some places that my Vincentian born partner had never visited. Very friendly, made us feel at home. Would definitely use again for some other tours when we return to SVGWritten 31 January 2024

- F6145LVoliviab0 contributionsAMAZING!!Ruff was our driver and explained and told us about loads of things on our way to villa beach. When he came to pick us up he went the extra mile to make us happy and took us on a little extra tour of the island instead of just taking us straight back to our cruise ship. He let us get out to take pictures and just made us extremely happy with our time in St Vincent and the Grenadines all solely because of Ruff. Thank you so much for the special time and we hope we can come back and enjoy your tours again. Excellent experience and 100% recommend Ruff!Written 6 January 2024

Our experience with Ruff as our tour guide in St. Vincent and the Grenadines for the IV Tours' historic visit to the Dark View Tour was nothing short of excellent! Ruff's knowledge of the area's history and his passion for sharing it with visitors truly enhanced our experience. His friendly demeanor and professionalism made us feel welcomed and engaged throughout the tour. We highly recommend Ruff and IV Tours for anyone looking to explore the rich history of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

IV Tours provided an unforgettable experience during our visit to Saint Vincent, seamlessly blending adventure with local culture. The journey to Dark View Waterfall was nothing short of magical. As we trekked through lush, verdant landscapes, our guide shared fascinating insights about the flora and fauna, making the hike both educational and enjoyable. The waterfall itself was breathtaking, and the opportunity to swim in its cool, refreshing waters was a highlight of the trip.
The tour continued with a visit to the iconic "Pirates of the Caribbean" filming locations. Our guide's knowledge about the movie's production and the area's history added an extra layer of excitement. It felt surreal to stand where such iconic scenes were shot and to hear behind-the-scenes stories.
IV Tours excelled in their organization and hospitality, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience from start to finish. Their passion for Saint Vincent's natural beauty and cultural heritage was evident, making the tour not just a sightseeing trip but a deeply enriching experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the hidden gems of Saint Vincent.

Amazing experience, such a knowledgeable and welcoming tour guide. Ruff was so accommodating and friendly throughout the who experience. I feel like I know so much more about St.Vincent now and that's all thanks to Ruff. I will definitely be booking another tour with Ruff for our family before we go back home if there is availability. I would highly recommend Ruff and his company to all my family and friends that decide to visit the island. Book your flights, book your hotel and book IV Tours to show you the sights.

It was a fantastic day with Orville - we had booked a trip to the Dark View Falls for the day on St. Vincent, we came from the cruise ship. Everything went smoothly, from the pick-up to the return. Lots of interesting and useful information about the island, the country and the people. The dark view falls are well worth seeing, the long drive there can be described as a panoramic tour, you just see so much of the island and the green is just mind-blowing 🌴🌴🌴🌋😎😎😎🌿🌿🌿🌿
Thank you and see you next time! ✅🧡
