- jt15430 contributionsGreat tour with a great guideContacted fraser directly and arranged a tour for 2 adults and 1yr old up the east coast to Owia salt pond and black point tunnel. He was prompt with his replies and punctual on the day, arriving in a comfortable vehicle. Fraser is a friendly and knowledgeable guy who knows this beautiful island well. He was very accommodating to our needs and made every effort to make the day fun for all including our little one. Highly recommend Fraser and would say he should be the first choice for anyone planing on visiting SVG.Written June 27, 2024

- lcdavies20150 contributionsA Smokey Volcano adventureAn excellent experience and hike up a volcano which I have always wanted to do. With thanks to Fraser for guiding us up, for the snacks, and ice cold beer and delicious St Vincent Mango when we got back down - dont visit St Vincent without joining Fraser for this!Written May 18, 2024
- Lloydd M0 contributionsAmazing Tour by Frazer!We arranged a tour with Frazer online to mainly see the Pirates of the Caribbean bay and film set but also see other parts of St Vincent. We arrived on the ferry and he was there waiting. Being a local his knowledge was great and explained many things along the route to the set. We stopped off a few times for views and also to see a waterfall in the Heritage Park - which was great; especially the fresh mango! We then headed down to the bay where the films were shot. Frazer had called the restaurant ahead and preordered our food and it came out nearly straight away. The food was delicious as were the homade juices. After lunch we looked around the film set and enjoyed the views of the bay. In addition we arrange a stop at the botanical gardens where we had a guide take us round and explain about the plants and trees. Frazer then dropped us off at the ferry port which ended our tour. We would highly recommend a tour by Frazer and felt at ease exploring and learning about what St Vincent has to offer. Thank you!Written May 4, 2024

- Cruiser481297882940 contributionsBest Excursion During Our Cruising VacationMy family of five (including a 17, 14, and 11 year old) booked this excursion when we stopped in St. Vincent while on a cruise and only had a certain window of time. Fraser answered all my questions prior to the trip via email because I was worried about getting back to the port in time. It ended up that we were the only family that booked this trip and Fraser himself took us. Before we left he was settling the organization of his other excursions and all the other drivers in the area deferred to him. It was very impressive. First off, Fraser was amazing. He shared all kinds of information and history about St. Vincent on the drive to the Salt Ponds. He made stops on the drive out, offered us drinks and fresh fruit, and he ordered us a delicious lunch to be eaten while at the Salt Ponds. Once at the Salt Ponds he helped escort us all out to the pond area safely. I recommend water shoes because it is extremely slippery. We did not have any and he walked all five of us out safely! Safety came first for Fraser at the Salt Pond. We arrived back to port with plenty of time and had the best excursion during our entire vacation for a reasonable price. I highly recommend!Written February 27, 2024
- iansE5217IG0 contributionsFirst Class ServiceSean was our knowledgeable and enthusiastic driver and guide for the trip along the west coast of the island ultimately reaching the Dark View Waterfalls, which were quite something to see. Nothing was too much for him and he ably looked after my wife and I plus 3 others for the day. The people carried was comfortable and his driving was very smooth. A ray of sunshine in this very sunny location - many thanksWritten January 28, 2024

We booked the tour for us as a family of five online in advance. We received a friendly welcome on site and Lewis took us well and safely to our destinations and we had plenty of time to enjoy everything.Written January 26, 2024
- zipp0rag0 contributionsAn unforgettable privately tailored day tour of St. VincentI had a wonderful privately tailored day tour of St. Vincent with Trunos Fraser! He was understanding and patient with my belated arrival with the ferry from Bequia, and very attentive to my unstable step. We visited sights all over St. Vincent, and the experience was highly enriched by his knowledgeable explanations and background narration, stopping along the way to draw my attention to special things, above and beyond a standard itinerary. Thank you, Trunos!Written January 4, 2024
- K6428RGscottb0 contributionsRrrrrr dinner for the scurvy dogs!We had a great visit here. It took about two hours maybe a little longer to see everything and have dinner. We wish we had brought our snorkel gear and we could’ve spent another couple hours snorkeling the bay. You get to eat right next to Jack Sparrow ship Mast. We got about four different meals and split them up among us so everybody got to taste something different. It was all very good. You really do feel like Jack sparrow could walk up beside you at any minute.Written December 27, 2023

Collected from the cruise ship terminal we enjoyed a fabulous day touring parts of the island, the main thrust of course was the film set of Pirates of the Caribbean. The scenery, particularly from the Fort was breathtaking, even precariously negotiating a rickety (perfectly safe) bamboo bridge on our was to a magnificent waterfall. Our guide, Luciene, was a joy all day and really was so very knowledgeable about things and places that we visited. We would highly recommend this company and Luciene in particular.

This was a popular tour. There were multiple vehicles of people, but we liked being in a van with only 6 people. We had a great driver and tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and loved his job. We had a great meal by the waterfall. There was plenty of time at all the stops. It was fun crossing over the swing bridge. It is definitely worth it to take the short hike to the top of the waterfall.

First of all Frasers taxi was very reliable and the communication was great. We had to change the original day of our tour because of bad weather but that was no problem as we re-booked it for the next day. We were not staying in Kingstown and Mr. Fraser picked us up where we were staying and we could modify the stops on our trip to suit our location hassle free. His knowledge of the Island is vast and guides you in the hike to the falls. He takes lots if pictures along the way and sends them to you at no extra cost. All in all very professional and we felt safe the entire journey even when driving around the windy roads high up in the mountains.

The waterfall was nice and I suppose in view of the numbers of other waterfalls in the Caribbean it is impressive. Yes you can swim there and yes it is coldish water. The problem with such waterfalls is their popularity. Getting their is reasonably priced but due to the vendors wanting to maximize profits, they stuff you in vans or buses maxed out and then there are numerous ones of them at the same location. The roads to the falls are not exactly examples of excellent pavement nor adequate width. The drivers are so used to the curves and mountainous roads I swear they could do it blindfolded but suffice it to say that it is the most comfortable ride. Find you a private taxi or insist on a van with no more than four and you will enjoy it a lot more. Most people are pretty good about moving for picture taking and for me it was more a picture op than a swim in the Falls.

We went with Fraser to the dark falls and had such an amazing trip with him. On the drive to the falls he told us all about the places we drove past and gave us lots of opportunities to take pictures of the view. He was also a very safe and responsible driver which made you feel very safe throughout the trip. At the falls he was prepared with everything from towels to water shoes and had a wide variety of drinks included. He also even had wifi onboard! The falls where beautiful and Fraser took us up to a higher fall that we probably wouldn’t have known about if we went by ourselves. The swimming was amazing and Fraser took amazing photos and gave us mango whilst we where swimming which made the experience even more special. I will definitely be recommending fraser to anyone who comes to St Vincent!

It seems that you had a "ball" and we are grateful to have contributed to it. We take better care of our customers and is always able to anticipate your needs. Enjoying a freshed picked mangoes is now an integral part of our excursions given that it is now high season for mangoes. Hoping you would cherish the photos album we sent via a Google link as this also has become a standard feature of our tours. Many thanks for the "glowing" recommendation and wishing you great success in your future endeavours.

Fraser was the absolute BEST tour guide in St. Vincent. He picked us up promptly from our AirBnb, took us on a tour through the capital allowing for us to grab a quick breakfast. We then made multiple stops for pictures on our trip up north as he pointed out all of the areas and places of interest. He even has free fruit,juices,water and rum punch in his cooler for guests 🙂. What is more, there is WIFI on board the taxi- you cannot beat that. He had water shoes available for us to go up to the waterfalls and helped each and every person ,making sure we were safe and no one was left behind. Needless to say, he also captures the best photos with the best phone camera. His lunch spot suggestion was absolutely delicious as well.
If you are looking to do ANY tour in St. Vincent - Frasers Taxi and Tours.
On top of all of this he is a very humble and pleasant gentleman.
Big ups to Fraser!!!!!

Fraser was an absolutely fantastic tour guide and had planned everything to the smallest detail. We had cooled beverages and delicious fruit throughout the day and Fraser gave us copious information about St Vincent and was able to answer all our questions and more! The waterfalls are absolutely beautiful and the local restaurant is a lovely place for a Caribbean lunch. This tour is a great way to get to know the island, it’s culture and what it has to offer- would highly recommend doing this trip with Fraser and doing it at the start of your trip in St Vincent.

From our first connection Fraser was extremely easy to communicate with and very professional.
He was very courteous and accommodating. He picked us up in a very nice luxury vehicle and provided cold water, fresh fruit and an excellent rum punch.
He took the time to stop at view points along the way and let us stretch our legs and take photos. He treated us like we were old friends, pointing out landmarks and notable places along the way.
The falls themselves were beautiful and being able to stand under them was exhilarating. We really enjoyed.
After our visit to the falls Fraser took us to a nice ocean side restaurant for a traditional Saint Vincent lunch. It was very good.
As an added surprise Fraser stopped at the Pirates of the Caribbean movie set and we were able to walk around and view the buildings and walk out on the pier where Johnny Depp sailed in.
It was a wonderful relaxing day and we really felt like we were immersed in Saint Vincent. Fraser provides an excellent tour for a very good value.

The tour surpassed expectations and Fraser was very friendly, approachable and professional. It was clear that he is passionate about his tours and it reflected in the quality of tour we received. Fraser is a very a courteous and experienced driver and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the entire tour. His van was air conditioned, clean and he observed Covid protocols which made me feel even safer. He shared his local knowledge throughout the tour and we felt the tour was of great value. Without a doubt I would book with Fraser again as I felt the tour was very fairly priced, of a high quality and of a very good value.

Thank you Fraser! We had the best tour with you today to the Dark View Waterfalls and everywhere in between! We learned so many interesting facts about your beautiful island. You are an excellent island guide who kept our day fun and broke it up perfectly with scenic stops, stories, delicious local fruit (I’m still drooling over that mango from your tree), a great lunch restaurant, and epic waterfalls! Thank you for also providing the water shoes for us, you pulled out all the stops! Anyone who visits St. Vincent should take the opportunity to have a tour with Mr. Fraser. He really went above and beyond to plan an awesome day. We hope to return again and next time we’ll hike the volcano!
