“I wasn’t able to go on the tour but my friend did. She said the driver was very knowledgeable, and courteous. She enjoyed the tour very much. The van was comfortable. The negative thing was that the tour didn’t include seeing the gingerbread houses and that was the main thing she wanted to see on the island. It’s called Wesleyan Grove. Luckily we found the area on our own. We also understand why. It was just disappointing to her. The driver would probably have added a great deal of historical information that we ended up finding online.”
