    Experienced tour guide, Ricardo, gave us interesting & fun facts about Castries and St Lucia. Enjoyed the history part, especially through the pictures and murals around. Liked walking through the parks amongst the greenery and flowers. Recommended that we take a five sitting on the shaded park benches as it was hot. Food and market tour was lovely and tasty especially the coconut water. We purchased souvenirs and other items. Highly recommend this combination tour as a glimpse into St Lucia's past and where there are heading. Excellent tour guide helped us with transportation back to our hotel.

    This tour was breathtaking. I had a very energetic and knowledgeable tour guide.George (not sure if name spelt correctly) always ensured that I was okay and walked at my pace.He went above and beyond by taking me to a place that I really wanted to see, although it was not part of the tour.Thanks so much City Walkers for a wonderful experience.Castries history is really rich.Looking forward to doing this again when I return next time with friends.

    It was just my husband and me on this tour with Georgie as our tour guide. Georgie was pleasant, charming, and eager to please. The problem is that the town has been destroyed by fire twice in recent history, and there is not much to see. The tour lasted less than an hour, covered several blocks and included the church all of which can be easily accomplished without a guide.

    My driver, Joseph, was excellent! He picked me up on time, got me back in time, was very personable and knowledgeable about the island. I wish he had been my guide. My guide, George, was not very knowledgeable, especially about Derek Walcott. It seemed like he wanted you to be finished quickly because he was hesitant about taking me to the Anglican Church and kept asking me if I wasn’t tired. I wasn’t tired at all and I would have liked to have seen more. It was a very short tour and I didn’t learn anything.

    Walking around Castries was interesting to my self as my grandfather was born there and to be able to walk in his footsteps was special. However the guide was lovely but prefered to talk more about her views on St Lucia, which was a little offputting.
