        Excellent and well-priced taxi service
        Such a professional, communicative, reasonably-priced and friendly service. Super flexible as my plans formed (and re-formed), extremely comfortable car and great chat with Durand. Highly, highly recommend for both tours and taxi services!

        Local and reliable service
        I decided to arrange airport transfer to and from Soufriere with Duri based on reviews I'd read. He greeted my friend and I at the airport and we had a smooth ride back to Soufriere. He was professional and friendly, and had good suggestions for local restaurants. I'd also arranged a couple of drives to attractions in the area during our stay (Anse Chastanet Beach, Tet Paul Nature Trail, Piton Falls, Morne Coubaril Estates). Unfortunately Duri wasn't available, so he did send a couple of his other drivers, Nick and Hasani. They did get us where we need to go, but Duri was the best driver in our opinion (but we get he cannot be everywhere at once). Duri's taxi service is reliable and reasonably priced, so I would recommend booking with him if visiting in Saint Lucia.

        St Lucia with Duri and Darnell
        Duri & Darnell are the best. We communicated with these guys months before our vacation and the experience was spot on. We were extremely satisfied with the customer service and tours with these two. A-lot of fun, a lot of memories, a lot of laughs during this time. If you’re not booking these two, you’re missing out. We have ST. Lucia as our second home now thanks to our special friends Duri and Darnell.

        Highly recommend A1 & Gilbere!
        I had an amazing experience with Gilbere as my driver from the airport to my Airbnb! I was traveling solo for this ride meeting my friends at the north part of the island. Gilbere was friendly, welcoming, and went out of his way to make me feel comfortable. He was helpful with my luggage the moment we met and was very knowledgeable about the island, including tips on the best spots to visit. The ride was smooth even with all the curvy roads. Gilbere made a few stops on the way for me to see some amazing viewpoints! Gilbere became my friends & I’s driver for the time we were in St Lucia! If he wasn’t available, he was extremely helpful in finding someone from A1 that was available for us! Shoutout to Duri for taking us on a rum tour! Highly recommend this service to anyone visiting St. Lucia—it's a great company to use to get around the island! They make sure you are taken care of! Thank you Gilbere- my trip wouldn’t have been the same without meeting you!

        Gilbere was polite and the ride was conformable. I was guven license plate information, pick up time and drivers name before the ride. He was punctual and professional.

        This is a MUST DO
        Highly recommend this tour! The price cannot be beaten. Your resorts will offer these type of excursions, but trust me - you want to book through the Trip Advisor link. You will not be disappointed. We had the best tour guide, Jarvis. He even added an additional stop at no extra charge. The mud bath at the volcano is a surreal experience and our tour guide at the volcano was sooo knowledgeable and funny. Made the tour even better. We made stops at the waterfall and botanical garden as well as the scenic stop for the Pitons. It was just a wonderful day. Also - the car we rode around in was so comfortable and great air conditioning. I also love that it is a private tour so it's just your group. The lunch after was amazing. Best local food we had our entire trip -- Fedo's restaurant. You must go there no matter what!!! If we ever find ourselves in Soufriere again we will do this excursion again. What an experience.

        Two bookings two no-shows
        Booked them for two airport trips. One from Castries to the hotel and them from the hotel to Hewanorra. The first pickup they didn't show up. When I called them the next day after taking a taxi service to the hotel, they told me that they had had a computer error and had lost several bookings and had no way to retrieve the list. I had also booked them for a flight 3 weeks later back to the other airport which was only about 15 minutes away from the hotel. Just to be sure, I contacted them 3 days ahead of the pickup to make sure they were on track and they assured me 1:00 p.m. they would be there. Surprise surprise. No one showed. Fortunately, because we allowed enough time and the hotel was close to the airport, we were able to get someone else to take us to the airport and they were less than half the money than St. Lucia A1 wanted. One no-show okay. Sometimes things happen. There are extenuating circumstances but two no-shows is just plain old bad service.

        Amazing customer service
        Amazing company with amazing drivers. During our stay in St. Lucia, used this company exclusively. No matter where we were going, or what time, they always had someone available for us. We had one main driver who took us everywhere we needed to go. And when he wasn't available, the company made sure to send someone else. They provided us with excellent customer service (everyone was friendly and informative) and made our stay in St. Lucia a memorable one. This was my first time in St. Lucia and I'm glad I stumbled across this taxi company. I will definitely be using them again next year 😁

        Excellent private tour
        Tour experience was seamless and exceptional from start to end. They were able to accommodate my last minute request and arrived on time. I forgot a few essentials and my tour guide went over and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed, without any complaint. Being able to go solo had the additional benefit of skipping prolonged waiting between each stop, a comfortable ride in the vehicle and close attention to my needs. I had an amazing time at each stop and got professional like photos. The tour ended with a wonderful and authentic creole dining experience. I also received some historical information through the experience. Would highly recommend this tour to solo, small or large groups.

        Best St Lucia Private Tour
        Our family had an amazing time on our tour. Durand (or Duri) is extremely accommodating and patient with our family. We had a grandma who couldn't walk as much, but Duri stopped at all viewpoints so Grandma could see the best of St. Lucia. Duri helped us make a dinner reservation at the Caille Blanc hotel so we could enjoy the most amazing view of the Pitons, and he ride us to and from our Sugar Beach resort. We feel blessed to have had Duri with us; we spent two full days on the private tour with him. 5-star service and highly recommended!

        a fun afternoon of adventure!
        Had a wonderful time with Duri! This was my first time in St. Lucia and he was a great guide. Very professional, attentive, and organized. It was great to get to see more of the island outside of the resort where I was staying, so would highly recommend.

      We were a group of 11 of different ages. We were picked up right outside of the cruise ship which was very convenient. Brett and Brad were very knowledgeable about the area and we made several stops for scenic pictures. We went to the sulphur springs and mud bath which was pretty cool. We also stopped at a local restaurant for some local food which was delicious. They Took lots of pictures for us and shared them after the tour which we really appreciated. We really enjoyed it.

      This was our favorite excursion during our cruise. Dari was our guide and he exceeded expectations. He gave us the island highlights, took us to the places on the itinerary, took all of our photos, and altered a couple of stops to accommodate my walking restrictions. He has a great personality. The six hours was packed and worth every cent we spent. So many people returned to the boat disappointed with their day. We returned with memories, tons of pics, and gratitude for landing the right excursion. Book it!

      We (a party of 3) took this tour while aboard the Volendam on December 24, 2024. As per the description, the guide met us with a sign at the exit from the cruise ship terminal.

      We had asked for a visit to the lighthouse near the port, and that was the first stop we made. I am thankful to A1 Taxi and Tours for accommodating this request as it was very important to one of the members of our party.

      This is followed by a long drive to the Tet Paul Nature trail. Our guide was the silent type, offering little commentary on St. Lucia and where we were headed. Since this is about a 45 minute to an hour trip, it would have been nice if a trip overview had been provided, and then information about the towns we passed through. As it was, we were told a little about the town when we arrived, and figured out which attraction we were seeing next when we saw the sign.

      The Tet Paul Nature trail is very nice, not very difficult to walk, with a little climbing. The views from the trail are spectacular.

      Our next stop was the Drive-In Volcano, Sulphur Springs. On the day we were there the parking lot was overflowing, and the trip from the gate to the caldera took 15 minutes of start and stop driving with people walking all around. We did not partake in the soaking in the springs, but that looked like a spring area that was wall to wall people.

      Our final stop was Toraille Waterfall. It was so crowded, it was hard to take a picture of the waterfall without any people in it. Basically it feels like every tourist on the island is in line to stand under the waterfall and get their picture taken.
      The tour ended with our trip back to the cruise ship terminal. The description of the tour says that bottled water and alcoholic beverages are included, these were never offered by the driver/tour guide.

      Overall, I've rated the tour average. It went to the places listed, and it's not the your operators fault the places are overcrowded. However, I think the tour guide could have been more forthcoming with information not only about how the tour was organized, but with information about the island and it's people during the time we were together.

      It's disappointing to say the least to see such a review after we tried our best to accommodate your requests. Two of the three main attractions of the tour are the mudbaths and the waterfall which off the bat you wrote to us and said you were not interested in, so why book this tour and not look for another tour that better suited what you wanted?? Despite that we tried to deliver what you requested, lighthouse views and lots of pictures of different sights. There are pictures of you at the fishing village so it would be very hard to believe that the driver gave you no information about it at all. It's an interchange of sharing knowledge and so you could also ask the driver anything about St Lucia as well. Again if there was no water or anything onboard, a simple conversation with your driver about it and it would be sorted, we are all human at the end of the day. You visited St Lucia in the height of our tourism season, ofcourse there will be other persons wanting to enjoy the same attractions as well. Goes without saying and as you mentioned beyond our control. In any respect, as previous reviews have shown, our excursions are anything but average and we will continue to deliver our usual A1 service. We wish you and your family the best!

      Amazing tour! They picked us up right at the port with very friendly and knowledgeable guides. The tour was exactly as described online. We were with our guide for about 6 hours and explored the beautiful pitons, sulphur bath and waterfall. Our guide was helpful, friendly, engaging and made sure we were taken care of on our trip. I highly recommend this tour to those visiting from cruise ships and others who are staying on the island.

      What an amazing day in St Lucia!! Had an awesome private tour with our guide Schem. Pick up at the cruise port was easy. Clean and well maintained car. Schem was awesome, super friendly and genuine. Safe driving and really took care of us. We headed south to Soufriere. Schem pointed out all the spots and stopped for photos. Took us to a local place for lunch. We went there before the springs and beat the lunch crowd. Finally some good food!! Fish, rice and provisions. Great pictures at the Pitons. Sulphur Springs mud bath was awesome. Skin felt amazing after and it was really relaxing. I think coming here after lunch beat the crowds as most tours start with that. Waterfall and infused rum tasting after. We randomly found this little bar off the side off the road. No crowds and beautiful view. My fav was passion fruit and pineapple! Our guide was the best! Talked about Jesus and life the whole time. Would definitely come back! Thank you Schem!!

      Amazing is an understatement to describe the excursion my sisters, mom and I did in St.Lucia. Our tour guide always made us feel so safe and is an excellent driver! He knew many facts about the island and always kept us entertained. He took many pictures of the group throughout the excursion and knew all the best angles and ideas for the photos. Even if we were unable to visit one location, he made sure to accommodate the experience so that we would feel most comfortable and enjoy it to the fullest. I cannot recommend this company enough. If you’re reading this, book the excursion now!

      We loved this tour. We got a wealth of information and were able to connect with others from our ship. We saw all the major tourist sites and were able to get a lot of photograph opportunities. We did the nature trail and were able to see amazing views despite the hike up and down. Our driver, Marvin was wery nice, detailed, and kind to us. Got us back to the port in a decent amount of time. I WOULD 100% book this tour again.

      The tour itself was an amazing experience would highly recommend it. Our tour guide Duri was fantastic. I instantly felt comfortable with him, a really genuine nice guy. He offered to customise the tour to other places we wanted to go always going out his way to take loads of photos for us too, he made the trip.

      I enjoyed a full day of sightseeing in St.Lucia incl. the Great Pitons with the Tet Paul trail as well as Pigeon Island. I really like Brett as organiser, it was very nice and efficient. Bradley the driver was very nice and helpful, and strongly enhanced my already positive experience with stops at local places with cassawa bread, fried pork (an island speciality) and sugar cane juice. It was part of a one week cruise, and in a whole week of highlights, this was definitely among the top. I loved it all and would love to come back. I can definitely warmly recommend this company.
