I contacted Spencer/his team two days before we were due to sail and he was amazingly quick in responding to me, confirming the booking of a west-coast tour. I notified him that my mum is a vegetarian – she was more than catered for! As we all were actually. We were met at Castries port by a very smiley Mr Smalls – who was friendly, warm and welcoming from the start. He answered all my random questions about everything – I do mean everything! And was charming, patient and professional through out our whole tour, he even went out of his way to stop at the bank so we could change some currency for souvenirs! He made sure our tour was completely hassle free, and yes we got back to port with plenty of time to shop and board the ship. Having never previously been to St Lucia, I know I’ll definitely be back again and will be booking with Smalls via Spencer tours to show me even more of this beautiful island.

Spencer and Smalls run a tour service that is second 2 none. Not only do they make you feel comfortable and (at home) on their island but they are men of God as well. During our excursion on the Best of West Island tour, Smalls and myself spoke about how good God has been to us, church and Sunday school while seeing the sites. The Island itself is beautiful and their knowledge of the sites are wonderful. You must book Spencer tours if you go to St. Lucia and say hi to them for me. Smalls keep in touch. Your bro, Rev. Eric

Small (Bigger) was our guide for our day in St. Lucia and it was an amazing experience. My two girls are still raving about the Johnny cakes, the jelly coconut, the creole bread, and the water taxi ride! Small’s stated goal from the start was to get us back to the ship on time. They have yet to have a passenger late for a ship and he wanted to keep that record going. With that said, we never once felt rushed. Small allowed us as much time as we wanted at any location, with gentle reminders about the time. Spencer even called me on the phone during the tour just to make sure everything was to my satisfaction. How cool is that??? We loved St.Lucia and when we return, Small and the Ambrose team will be retained for more touring.

I would advise anyone to use Spencer’s team when in 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.

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.

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!!!

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!

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.

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.

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!!
