We were in St. Thomas for part of a day from a Royal Caribbean cruise. Cruise tours are not just overpriced but often make us feel like we are part of a herd of animals. We took our chance and found this guide at the port. We had a private tour for several hours. Truck had an open air bus seating but comfortable. The guide was extremely energetic and incredibly knowledgable about botanicals and history. Made several stops for photos. Island was beautiful and I would highly recommend people see more than just the shops in Charlotte Amalie. I wish I had written down the guide's name as the business card refers to a "Mr. Calypso". We definitely had our money's worth, saw the island, seems we were much more pleased with our tour than those on the ship were with theirs.

Dawuud was our tour guide, he drove us through the downtown and then around the island for a general tour. He was excellent, very knowledgeable -- especially about plants and history! We were on a cruise and had other tours planned on other islands. His tour stood out because of his knowledge and good communication skills. He's also an excellent driver, having to take sharp turns and driving on roads not all in the best of shape.

Visiting St. Thomas with 5 friends on an annual birthday trip we met Dawuud at the airport as our driver and tour guide.
Dawuud deserves an award for keeping 6 assertive women happy, There were no complaints. Dawuud explained the history of St. Thomas, while showing us the historical sites.
Dawuud proved to be our personal driver, our guide, our go to person for all things St. Thomas and surrounding islands. He provided great shopping and eatery recommendation. He was dependable and prompt from the time he picked up at the airport until the time he returned us to the airport 4 days later..

Dawuud is an awesome guide who probably has the brain power of 10 people! So much knowledge! My wife and I had the time of our lives as Dawuud navigated the narrow streets with great ease while pointing out important monuments and structures. He was so pleasant and happy, and I would definitely go again! I was fascinated on Dawuud's knowledge on the native plants. The cancer alleviating properties of the Soursop leaves were most intriguing!

Dawuud picked us up downtown and took us to Megan's Bay. He gave me his number to call him for a pickup and he came and got us super fast. Took us to the sky lift and then picked us up when we were done and took us back to Margaritaville. About an hour later I realized I left my phone on his bus so I sent him a text and he found it and brought it back to me. Such a nice guy and so genuine. I'm keeping his number because we go back to the island every year and will definitely be hitting him up again!!

Dawuuds knowledge of the islands is impeccable. His knowledge of the floral and fauna are beyond belief. I highly recommend Caribbean Historical Tours, if you're looking for a local Tour company.

I had an awesome experience using this service. Not only the guide took us through scenic routes with mesmerizing views, he stopped where we could take pictures. It was a treat to hear and understand the history of the US. Virgin Islands and particularly St. Thomas. I will definitely use this service again when I return.

What a great surprise. We were picked up at our small hotel. Dawuud was very witty, and incredibly knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history of the area. We also learned about the wildlife, vegetation, locals and customs. We rode in a long covered tour "jeep". We were toured on the grounds of the local university after we expressed interest in local plants and native uses. It was one of the best tours that we have had as he held our attention and tailored the tour to our interests.

This tour and tour guide were amazing! Dawuud is a phenomenal tour guide with a wealth of information on many topics. The interactive part smelly, tasting and learning the medicinal purposes of the local fruits and herbs was so interesting. Such a unique tour. Above and beyond other tour companies. Highly recommend!

Dawuud was the best tour guide. He showed us so many plants to smell and taste. The history of the Island was included with great detail. He obviously loves his island and culture. He also supported the other guides. After waiting 35 minutes with another guide, we left. Dawuud tried to flag her down to see if we could make it right with her.
What a great smile and easy way to share information. Our group had a great time with Dawuud.

Thank you very much to all our clients over the years. Tripadvisor however is up to no good and very soon we will take actions on their manipulating our business and diverting what is legitimately ours as we have never asked to be placed on their list. Their list, just to let you know is not a true and unbiased order of quality in measurement of quality. It is all about money and greed. Their list is to aggregate isolated businesses to their search preferences on top, despite the fact that there is no other authentic Caribbean Historical Tour. We have a case and will deal with them in due time. Enough is enough.
Stop it Telescope. You are too greedy. HISTORY will tell the story after it is written by a source closer to the pain and not by the victor of authoritarianism.

Can I book the General Tour directly through TripAdvisor?
Written August 6, 2018
I will be arriving by cruise ship - Disney Fantasy, August 15th, 2018 - and would like to ensure that 1) the tour I am interested in is available that day, 2) the start and end time of the tour is compatible with our port time. I prefer to book online, but am reticent to pay for the tour before knowing whether the logistics will work. Thanks for any information you can provide!
Best regards, Linda

We are a huge family. Total of 52 ranging between kids and adults. What tour is best for us? We would like to do sightseeing and of course to die for beaches. Please let me know on how to coordinate and how much it will cost so I can discuss it with the group. We are doing the Princess cruise in June 13 to be exact.
Hope you can help.
Best,
Farah
