Kevin is really nice, very easy to organise things with and really helpful. He kindly got us to all the places around Soufiere that we wanted to go- gave us tips on what we should do and the best times to do it and even helped us book restaurant reservations (which we had failed to get by emailing them ourselves).

Kevin is an amazing tour guide to have in St. Lucia. He became my tour guide for my entire trip after he took me on my first tour to Gros Piton. He is absolutely laid back and very informative on places to hang out, where to get local meals, and will help you plan whatever adventure you seek.

found this excursion / taxi service on tripadvisor, however, kevin our driver was more than flexible to accomodate all of our other tourist inquiries as well as transportation needs - including a more affordable service back to airport (compared to our resort's offer). we followed his recommendations on when to start the hike and we finished in enough time to enjoy fedo's local cuisine, which we had looked up and he confidently confirmed would be excellent - which it was! we wanted to do more the following day and with his knowledge of the other tourist attractions, we asked him to take us around to the sulfur springs and toraille watefall. again, based on his timing recommendation we were able to check out and enjoy both spots well before the rush of other small tour groups and local guides. we were then able to enjoy marie's local cuisine - prob one of the best meals we had. everyone in soufriere seems to know kevin and vice-versa. we're still impressed with his driving skills

We had a great trip to the Gros Piton and one that we will never forgot. Our driver was very welcoming and friendly and provided us with commentary as we were making our way from the Castries to the Pitons. When we arrived, our guide for the hike was given our drivers number to contact each other when we were finished. We then proceeded to pay the entrance fee of $50 per person. On the way back we were so tired after the hike, our driver was so understanding and patient that he drove us straight back to our hotel with no detours. Would definitely book with them again.

We decided to climb the Pitons following recommendations from friends who had previously been to St Lucia. This was well worth it if you want to really see what a living rainforest looks like. We got a taxi from our resort which was great as they took us on a tour of the island as it was a 2 hour drive. You are met at the pitons by the guides who you do the hike with, we had Alvin and he was great! The amenities are very basic at the summit of the Pitons, however this adds to ambience. You can pay the entrance fee on credit cards despite what other people say on previous posts. Now I am going to be honest this is not an easy hike! We are a fairly fit couple but we were challenged, it was very humid and you literally climb up hill over a very rocky terrain and at some points you have to climb up rocks. We made it to halfway point which was well worth it for the views across to Jade Mountain resort. That took about 1.5hours, for the fitter climbers you can do it in about 1 hour, the whol
