Private West Coast Island Delight Tour was worth coming to St. Lucia

“The day of the tour alone, was worth coming to St. Lucia for.” This is what my brother said about the private West Coast Island Delight Tour we did with Spencer Ambrose Tours. This is indeed how my husband and I felt too. My husband and I and my brother spent a week in St. Lucia and chose this company as our guide of choice for an island tour. Our tour guide/driver was Small, Spencer’s brother. Small is punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and just a lotta fun. I know my husband enjoyed those history lessons from Small and I enjoyed hearing him talking about foods; There’s a lot to see on this tour and there were ample opportunities for picture taking and stretching our legs. Food wise, what can I say? Looshans could cook! Arriving at Jalousie beach by water taxi cannot be described in words. You just have to go and be and see. St. Lucia is a truly beautiful island. It helps when you can enjoy the beauty with a background into the country and culture. Small provided these things for us. You can see and learn about St. Lucia by doing this tour.

Wonderful Tour of St. Lucia

Spencer was the best! His tour of St. Lucia was wonderful. We hit all the big sites; volcano, waterfall, beach and scenic vistas. Spencer provided little tastes of local cuisine along the way; Creole bread, Johnny cake, cinnamon & banana cassava breads, fresh mangos and fresh coconuts to drink from. Lunch was boxed and consisted of breadfruit, potato salad, cucumber salad, rice with lentils and barbecue chicken. All was delicious and gave us a real sense of local flavor. We highly recommend Spencer as a tour guide. He was extremely professional, courteous and knowledgeable.

We would definitely love to have Spencer as our guide the next time we visit the lovely and beautiful St. Lucia.

Loved our day with Spencer!!

We can’t even begin to tell you how much we loved our day with Spencer!! He was such a pleasant man who seemed to really enjoy showing us his world. We sampled many different fruits and foods and learned so much along the way. The kids were just as entertained as the adults!! A volcano, snorkelling, waterfall and bat cave were just a few of the day’s highlights!! He took care of us for the whole day!!

We highly recommend Spencer and his company for any of your tour needs!!!

ABSOLUTELY loved our tour!!!

We just returned from our 2 week honeymoon cruise with the Millennium and we have to say that of all of our adventures (11 days and 7 islands with 3 days in Puerto Rico) we ABSOLUTELY loved our tour with Spencer’s Tours. Spencer was out of town, so our tour guide was Small, his brother, and he was AMAZING!!! He picked us up from the ship and there was only one other couple with us, so it was like having our own private tour of the island. St. Lucia is beautiful and with this tour you get to really see EVERYTHING!!! It started with a friendly greeting, drinks, and a comfy air conditioned van. We went to a banana plantation and even got to eat fresh St. Lucian bananas, and I must say I prefer them over the ones we get here in the states! We then traveled through a few fishing villages, and learned a lot about the islands history and beauty. We had TONS of great stops for beautiful and amazing photo ops, even one stop where a steel band was playing, total fun! Small was great, he took care of everything, all the water, piton beer, and rum punch you could want was also provided. Perhaps one of our favorite stops was when we pulled up to another van and Small got us each a jelly coconut, can I say YUMMY! He even stopped and had us learn about and taste the local Cassava bread. The end of the tour was the absolute highlight, first we went to the waterfall, where my husband jumped right in, and then we headed down to Soufriere where we caught our water taxi to Jalousie beach, there are no words other than WOW!!! Upon rounding the corner and seeing this private paradise and gem of a beach right in the middle of the Pitons all we could do is stare in awe. We were then provided with perhaps one of our favorite local lunches amongst all the islands we visited… LOVED the banana salad! We snorkeled for little over an hour, and simply enjoyed the beach and all its beauty. We were then whisked away and brought straight back to our ship with time to spare. I can say nothing but wonderful things about the tour and of course Small, or as my husband liked to call him “Smalls”. We will schedule another tour with Spencer any time, in fact planning to return in Nov/Dec, and will ABSOLUTELY schedule a tour with him again. It was a true highlight of our 2 week trip.

We HIGHLY recommend Spencer’s Tours, and can’t stop telling everyone we know about it!

Best Tour of the Whole Trip!

We just returned from our cruise on board the Adventure of the Seas. Our day in St. Lucia was spent with John and was the best tour of the whole trip! We booked the Island Delight tour and had a wonderful day. We saw so many sites on his tour, including a banana plantation, fishing villages, the Pitons, the waterfall and Botanical Garden, the volcano at Sulphur Springs and Jalousie Beach. John kept us well fed the entire day, stopping along the way for bananas, muffins, bread and had a cooler stocked with complimentary soft drinks, water, and beer. I even had an encounter with a jellyfish and John & Spencer were both genuinely concerned about me the whole day. If we are ever in St Lucia again, we will be contacting Spencer for another tour!

This tour and Spencer are highly recommended for your day in St Lucia.

A Trip to be Remembered

We’ve had the good fortune to enjoy St. Lucia twice now and both times we have toured with Small, Spencer’s brother. We enjoyed getting to know Small so much on our first visit in May 2009 we wanted to have Small guide us again when we returned to St. Lucia with our two teenage boys in Feb. 2010. Small arranged a special tour for us that included visiting a local primary school and playing football (soccer) with a group of local boys in Soufriere. This was a very special time for us and our boys. Spencer and Small went out of their way to make sure our time in St. Lucia would be remembered. Of course the snorkeling between the Piton’s has always been some of the best we have experienced. Lori and I highly recommend Spencer, Small and Neptune for a day you will never forget in St. Lucia.

We are returning again in Dec. 2010 and look forward to spending more time with Spencer and Small.

No regrets with this tour!

We had a great day with Spencer on our recent cruise that included the beautiful island of St Lucia. This was the first time we had booked all of our shore excursions on our own and we had no regrets, especially with this tour! Spencer is very knowledgeable about his island. He kept us entertained with all of his stories and well fed with the fresh breads, cookies, fresh bananas and delicious Jerk Chicken, which we enjoyed on the beach at Jalousie Bay. He made the extra effort to avoid the crowds and we got some beautiful pictures. I would highly recommend touring with this wonderful gentleman. We plan on going back to St Lucia and, of course, will be doing another trip with Spencer.

Thank you, again, Spencer! We loved the Rum Punch, too!!

Absolutely Wonderful Tour

We just got home from a Caribbean cruise and we toured with Spencer’s company while on St. Lucia. There were nine of us in our group and we did a customized West Coast tour with Small, Spencer’s brother. I cannot even begin to tell you what a great time we had with Small on this tour. Everything about it was absolutely wonderful. Customer service was of utmost importance to Spencer and Small and their company. Small became a dear friend to us and when it was time to leave him, it nearly brought tears to our eyes. He treated us as if he had known us for years. He treated us as if we were his own family. The island was absolutely beautiful! The day we spent on St Lucia with Small was the highlight of our entire cruise experience. He took us to Jalousie Beach and I have to tell you – I have seen a lot of beaches in my years, but this one ranked in the top two or three on my all-time list. It was pristine and gorgeous and the water was crystal clear. The Creole lunch we ate in Soufriere was to die for as well, and the boat ride back up the coast to the cruise ship was wonderful as well. What a beautiful island and what a wonderful company to tour it with. Thank you so much Spencer and thanks so much Small! We will miss you Small! Don’t forget us. Your money will be well spent with this tour, I guarantee it!

Great Memorable Day

This day with Spencer was superb – the highlight of the cruise. We were with a small group of 8 and quickly and easily met up with Spencer after leaving the ship and were soon on our way. We saw a real cross section of St. Lucia including a banana plantation, fishing villages, Soufriere and wonderful views of the pitons, a visit to Jalousie beach between the pitons (not to be missed!), the sulphur springs and the waterfall and botanical garden. Throughout Spencer’s knowledgeable commentary and stories brought everything alive. All day we were fed local delicacies – bananas straight off the tree, Johnny cakes, patties, a wonderful Creole jerk chicken lunch and hot Creole bread – and with an open bar at the back including chilled soft drinks, beers and Spencer’s own spiced rum punch (phew!!!).

A complete and great memorable day in St Lucia.

A Tour you will never Forget!

From the moment we met Spencer, Small and Neptune, we felt we had met long lost family members! What a great group of tour guides. They are kind, caring, and knowledgeable. We were with a group that totaled 11 people, and everyone’s requests were met. This tour was definitely the highlight of our cruise week. We were fed seemingly constantly, and everything was delicious. It is obvious that Spencer is well liked by the local people, and I can certainly see why. He genuinely cares about his island home and her people. For a tour you will never forget (or regret!) contact Spencer.

Thanks again Spencer, and Small! God Bless.
