Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Outstanding! Kimbert, our driver collected from us from Hewanorra International Airport - St Lucia and was also our driver 2 weeks later to drop us back.
Absolutely brilliant and worth every penny.
Far better taking a private transfer in the luxury of the comfortable vehicle than squashed onto a bus with other tourists. You receive personal attention door to door, drinks onboard with wifi.
We could not fault the service from the moment we booked via the PHV Tours website to the moment we left.
There had been an accident in Rodney Bay Area the day we left and so we took a detour and boy was it worth it. Stunning views of the island, amazing care and attention by Kimbert and best of all we weren’t late to the airport. The tour transfers, were! Owing to the size of vehicles used by Tui, they couldn’t take the route we did! On speaking with many guests, a private transfer would have been preferable.
We’d been to the Island before so knew the best option was to pay for luxury.
Alisha was equally as amazing with communication on bookings/ timings and what we needed to do.
Arrival at the airport and locating our driver Kimbert was also painless and he was prompt to collect on departure day.
We would totally recommend PHV Tours St Lucia and would definitely use them again if and when we return to the wonderful shores of St Lucia.
Thanks a million.
Merry Christmas to you and all the team.

PHVTours is excellent in all aspects.
Before our trip: It was a breeze setting up our airport pickup, hotel transfer, airport drop off, as well as a schedule for a full day of experiencing the best of St. Lucia. Alisha was very responsive and helpful over email.
During our trip: Kimbert welcomed us at the airport and was the perfect guide, patiently answering all our questions and pointing out the sights on our way to our hotel.
Alisha took us on a day tour of the south part of the island, adjusting our schedule on the fly so we could stay ahead of the the expected crowds of other tourists. Very important to help us "social distance" from others during these trying times. Her thorough knowledge of the activities and best times to go really made our experience great.
Kimbert again took us to our second hotel and back to the airport at the end of our stay. He made stops along the way & we got see even more of the island, as he imparted his knowledge of the island's history as well as the current state of things.
Can't recommend PHVTours enough! Would love to go back to St. Lucia, and if/when that happens, would definitely contact PHVTours again to help us get around! Thank you Kimbert & Alisha!

We were travelling with a baby so I needed to make sure that there is a proper airport transfer in place. We were going from Hewanorra to Rodney Bay. I came across the company on Google as was too tight to pay for a travel provider's transfer.
Our driver was waiting for us at the airport and was very helpful including some serious car seat installation skills (!). We got to our destination safe and sound and as promised. She helped us with local knowledge on the way and also contacted our agent to have the gates opened for us etc.
Unfortunately our little boy felt car sick on windy mountain roads, so she suggested a minivan for our way back. We asked her to take us back and she turned up in a tidy nice little minivan!
All for $5 less than a price of a local taxi!

Kimbert picked us up at the airport and drove us to the Ladera Resort in Soufriere, about an hour's drive away. We hired Kimbert the following day to give us a tour of St. Lucia and provide some historical and cultural context. And, of course, he took us back to the airport at the end of our stay. I can't say enough good things about Kimbert and PHVTOURS. It's definitely the top choice for your transportation needs on St. Lucia. Kimbert was wonderful and he drove us around in a high-end Audi, yet his fares were considerably less expensive than the van pool service offered by the hotel. You can't go wrong with PHVTOURS.

We used PHV Tours last week while visiting St. Lucia on a Cruise. We needed transportation from Casties City to Sugar Beach which is 30 miles south. Our driver Larry, was the best. He was informative, polite and last but not least an excellent driver.
The vehicle was immaculate and more than comfortable for the four of us.
Look no further, if you want the best of the best.

Our resort (Ti Kaye) was really pushing to have us use their shared shuttle service but it was our honeymoon and didn't really feel like cramming into a van with 3-4 other couples so we researched private transfers instead. I am SO glad we did! Our driver, Kimbert, was very sweet and was waiting right outside the arrival area with a sign for us. He quickly grabbed our bags and let us know it was about an 1.5 hour drive so to use the restrooms before we left. He gave us some information along the way about the island, activities we should do, activities we shouldn't bother doing, we stopped for pictures and he even stopped and got us some local creole bread (on the house) which was delicious! There was a cooler of waters, sodas and beer for us to enjoy and pleasant conversation. The vehicle was brand new, very clean and had cold A/C! It was actually $10 cheaper to use this private transfer than to use the resorts shared older van! I don't know about any other private transfer company (resorts will tell you they don't have air conditioning) but PHV Tours was awesome and we will definitely use them again!

Polite and very friendly service and always on time, drinks supplied and flexible as we wanted to stop at a supermarket on route back to the airport and because I didn't find what I wanted the driver suggested we stop somewhere else which we did to get our gifts, nothing was a problem highly recommend and would definitely use them again with no hesitation - thank you

We were greeted at the airport by Kimbert immediately upon exiting the airport. He was polite and helped us with our luggage. The ride to the north end of the island takes considerable time for only going approx. 25 miles. Throughout the drive Kimbert told us interesting facts about the island, stopped for some fantastic photo shoots and got us some incredible fresh bread from a roadside bakery.
We were staying for a week for scuba diving, but decided to take one day off from diving to go see some of the other attractions. We called Kimbert and he was able to be our driver for the day. Plantations, Volcano's, forts & restaurants were all visited and throughout the time he continued to give us lots of information about the locations and corresponding history.
When it came time to go to the airport, Kimbert was there again to take us back. I don't know about the other driving services on the island, but I will fully recommend PHV Tours to anybody heading to St. Lucia. You won't be disappointed.
P.S.
The Pinon beer was pretty good too!!!

After finding PHV Tours on trip advisor I emailed them to make a booking for an instant response.
Alisha met us at the airport, exactly where she'd said she'd be and took us to the first hotel.
We were then collected the next day by Kimbert who took us to the sulphur springs and waited with our cases in the car and took us to the north of the island, stopping at the grocery store en route, non of this was a problem for him.
We changed our dates to return home and this was absolutely no problem, Kimbert pulled up to the second, we were very impressed.
The car was lovely, clean, air con, water and WIFI!- a luxurious service. Also cheaper than any other quotes I had from the hotels etc.
Overall I would recommend using PHV Tours for any trip to St Lucia, we were very impressed.
Thank you both.
