Doing what: Trinidad Highlights and Scenic Drive
There is only one highlight which can be considered memorable: Maracas Beach. But this does not warrant a tour. It could ahve been accessible by public bus from Port of Spain for only 80 cents each way instead of me having paid $96 for the experience. It was simply like a car hire for convenience. The pluralized title "highlights" is misleading. This is not the driver's shortcoming for he did his best out of the limitations.

Doing what: Island Circle Tour
"Circle Tour" is 80% driving around the island and there are only two stops: Manzanilla which is downright touristy in atmosphere and some shore lined with coconut trees. At the price paid it is not good value compared to other Viator tours I have taken. Again I do not fault the driver with this. In fact realizing that I was after authneticity he stopped me at two provincial towns typical of Trinidad. I suggest you enrich the tour itinerary with such stops otherwise a Trinidad would be not much more than driving around as if it was just a coach bus tour. I am interested to hear of your reaction to this suggestion. Thanks.
Note from Viator: Thank you for your feedback regarding this tour. We are sorry to hear it did not meet your expectations and have forwarded your suggestion on to our Product department so they may discuss them with our local tour operator. Thank you again for booking with us, and Happy Travels!

Doing what: Island Circle Tour
I stayed in the Port of Spain during my visit to the islands of Trinidada and Tobago. My tour guide, Andy, arrived on time, picking me up in the lobby of my hotel. I paid $139.00 for my seven hour personal tour. I was pleased to be the only person because I wanted a low-key, less "touristy" experience. Andy provided just what I wanted. He didn't feel the need to talk on endlessly but allowed me to set the tone for the tour.
When I felt compelled to aske questions Andy was able to provide an asnwer to the question; when I just wanted to sit back and look out the window. He offered to stop at any point, allowing me again to set the pace and course.
The car was clean; he kept his music low. I felt safe during our the drive.
We stopped in the town of Rio Claro for lunch. Prior to heading out, we agreed on a pick up spot. As a woman traveling alone, he was reassuring and provided safety a few safety guidelines..
Though the Island Circle Tour didn't circumnavigate the whole island, it did cover Caribbian, inland and Atlantic views that provided a good overview of the third-world like country.
My experience with Andy went so well that I hired him a few days later to take me to the Caroni Swamp, where I joined a group of tourists for a swamp tour and visually stunning dusk dance of the island's Red Ibis as flocks filled the sky and made their way to their evening perch.

Prompt arrival, excellent guide and interesting route gave me a very good introduction to Port of Spain and the North Coast Drive.

Doing what: Port of Spain City Tour
The tour guide, Errol Hasanali, was excellent. He was very courteous and knowledgeable. He picked us up on time at 1 p.m., took us to the few key parts of the city, and everything was fine until he had to pick up another party at 3 p.m. The tour was supposed to be 3.5 hrs, however, I felt it was cut short by 1.5 hrs, as it became all about dropping the other party at the bird sanctuary and then to us at the airport. I can understand another party joining us on the same tour as ours, however, mixing another tour with ours was a conflict of interests.

Doing what: Asa Wright Nature Center
I really enjoyed the trip. I did not have a printer where I was, but your office was extremely helpful and called the local office and made the necessary arrangements. If you did not intervene, and call me promptly, I would have surely canceled the itinerary. Thank you very much! I did talk to others, who did not rectify my requests. But it was a wonderful experience.

A good trip with a good driver and guide at the Asa Right Center. Unfortunately, we unknowingly chose a day when there was a large cruise boat in port so there were really too many visitors at the Center.

My fiancee and I really enjoyed ourselves. Our personal driver took us to a couple of beaches, and was quite happy to wait for us to finish without rushing us at all. He even took us to a place that we had wanted to see - which was slightly off route - with no charge whatsoever. He was very nice and patient, very friendly and looked after us a lot.

The driver was very helpful and the trip was interesting but evident neglect of a good deal of the country's agriculture and forestry was disappointing.
