This was our first visit to Grenada and Mandoo was the perfect tour guide to show us this beautiful island. This tour will take you to the picturesque Concord waterfall, historic Douglaston spice depot with a detailed presentation and the beautiful Grand Etang Crater Lake up in the mountains.
Thank you Mandoo for a very welcoming and wonderful tour of Grenada. We would highly recommend this tour company during a port day in Grenada.

We booked a full day tour of Grenada with Mandoo, who had been recommended to us by my partner's cousin. It was a fantastic recommendation and we had a brilliant day with Mandoo. The tour was billed as being a Northern tour but we ended up seeing most areas we wanted to in Grenada. As other reviewers have said Mandoo is so knowledgable about the island, as well as being passionate about sharing this with visitors to Grenada. He was easy to talk to and ask questions, which informed the rest of our holiday on this fabuous island. We also had a wonderful lunch, and Mandoo had called ahead to check that the restaurant were able to offer vegetarian options which was very thoughtful. Highly recommend Mandoo!

We booked Mandoo for a private full day Grenada Island tour, this having been recommended as a tour by our hotel. Mandoo was smart, extremely personable and critically extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the island. We visited a chocolate factory, a nutmeg museum and a very old rum distillery at each of which Mandoo was obviously well known and quickly arranged a guide for us. We also stopped at a waterfall, a beach for lunch and at a viewing point in the rain forest. On the way back to the hotel we asked if we could visit St Georges Fort which we did and where Mandoo was able to tell us a lot about the 1983 troubles with critical events at the fort. A brilliant day out, Mandoo was also a careful and considerate driver which was very important considering the width of many roads and the drainage ditches at each side!

Everything about this tour was fantastic. Our tour guide Mr. Mandoo was so knowledgeable about everything he showed us. We took some great pictures during our tour of the island. We saw the entire island in one day in a comfortable air-conditioned mini van. His driving skills were amazing on the tiny roads in Grenada. We first stop at a beautiful waterfall. While there we were able to buy some inexpensive souvenirs but the most exciting part was that my grandson and daughter were able to feed some bananas to some monkeys that were there. We then stopped at a chocolate factory where my daughter made contact with one of the workers there about her job back in the States. The adults in our group enjoyed the rum distillery we visit next in which we bought rum to take back home. but what stood out the most was what Mr. Mandoo did for my family when we asked for his suggestion to get something to eat. When we arrived at the restaurant they did not take credit cards when I told him he went into the restaurant and the next thing we all got something to eat. He paid for my entire family meal. When we got back to our car I stop at an ATM to repay him for the meal. During the tour, he took the time to go into the town that my kid's father grew up in to see the home where he lived and his father's grave site that meant so much to him. He went beyond his duty as a tour guide and I would highly recommend Mr. Mandoo visiting the island of GRENADA.

Mandoo is an excellent guide and a real gentleman. He knows everything there is to know about Grenada, and he takes his job as a tour guide very seriously. A friend and I took his spice tour and the tour of Grand Etang, both were very interesting and fun. He gave a lot of information about the island; very knowledgable about the island's history and the local flora and fauna. His van is very comfortable and has a good sound system so you can hear his narration clearly.
I was scheduled to depart Grenada the evening of this tour, but my flight got cancelled, and I had to urgently find a hotel for the night. I found this out while on the tour with Mandoo, and he jumped into action to help me. As hundreds of other stranded airline passengers were frantically calling for hotel accommodations, Mandoo managed to get me into a nice hotel, drove me there and also picked me up the following day to take me to the airport. Thanks to his quick thinking and local connections, I was able to relax in a nice hotel instead of having to spend the night at the airport. Mandoo really went above and beyond to help me. He truly is a local gem and a very, very nice person.
I would recommend him without hesitation to help you with your guided tour or any local endeavours while in Grenada. Not only Mandoo is an utmost professional but a really kind human being who didn't hesitate to help a stranger in need.

We did not originally book a tour with Mandoo, but when he substituted in for the other guide, we realized how lucky we were! Mandoo's van was clean, and he was incredibly informative about Grenada! We did the all-day tour around the island. We were able to see the monkeys in Grand Etang Forest Reserve, a couple of lakes, the landing/drag racing strip, and a great feel overall for the island. We also had a lovely Grenada lunch, and a visit to Batheway Beach on the Atlantic side. Best way to spend our anniversary day!

We had an absolutely amazing tour with Mandoo today. We are U.S. veterans who returned to Grenada for the 40th anniversary of Operation Urgent Fury. Mandoo spent the day showing us around the island. He customized additional spots that we wanted to see from our time here 40 years ago. He will customize the tour to fit your interests. We stopped at a Nutmeg Museum, a Rum Distillery sites of some of the military action, and other beautiful locations over the course of nearly seven hours. Friendly, knowledgeable on all aspects of the Grenada landscape, history, and culture, Mandoo is who you should engage for an unforgettable tour experience.

We arrived on the Celebrity Equinox in early December and received per-approval for Mando's Tour. He met us just outside the cruise ship port and was very gratuitous and accommodating. Mondoo appeared to know the COVID requirements and actually worked with the port authorities which sped up our departure.
Without going into great detail, this would take away from others visits, Mondoo is extremely knowledgeable about Grenada's culture, environment and politics. He is well known on the island which allows his guests to experience unique and intimate sites and people.

Spent 10 days in Spice Island resort and loved it.
But highlights of my stay were guided tours with Mandoo.
He is very knowledgeable, reliable, fun and most importantly Mandoo cares so much about the future of the island that it’s inspiring.

I'd seen Mandoo talked about in a travel magazine and arranged for him to take my husband and I out on a half day Spice Plantation route tour. This man is a world of information and knowledge regarding his home island of Grenada and I could not recommend him more. The island is beautiful and diverse, and Mandoo, who has a keen interest in it's preservation, is interesting with clear dictation. It was no problem for him to pick us up from our hotel but drop us at a different location on our request. As there was only the two of us, he collected us in a clean and well maintained car, rather than his mini bus. We paid 70USD each.

Is this a water tour too? Or only if you want to? It looks like there are different stops so I wasn't sure exactly how the tour worked. I see some people did tubing in caves. Im claustrophobic so not sure if I would want to do that.
Written February 8, 2017
Many of the tours don't include water. You can choose from several different tour options on Mandoo's website, and it will tell you all of the stops. Most tours are by van.

Hi how much did the tour cost and does he do part of a day say about 4 hrs
Written August 23, 2016
Can't remember cost but check website re half day tours. He was very informative and it was far better than touring with the hoards on a cruise tour.
