He split the Grand Circle tour into two days for our family and also added the Nylon pool tour complimentary. Dave took care of all our needs - foods with diet restrictions, photography, customizing tours for our interests (and staying one step ahead of weather), all the time till dropping us off at Tobago airport. read less

Next level customer service From start to finish David went over and above. I... read moreFrom start to finish David went over and above. I initially reached out on their website as the calendar online showed full and I was only in Tobago with my son for a few days. Within minutes David had made contact directly asking me what kind of excursion I was looking for, giving ideas and trying his best to make sure we would have a great time. That in itself earned the 5 stars! The hotel was useless in terms of information, but David was a fountain and really worked hard to create options for us. He arranged for us to do a Nylon Pool trip on one day, which was great fun.

In the end we booked an island tour. The day started amazingly and David was a font of knowledge about the island, the flora and fauna, the history - everything! Sadly the heavens opened and the mists rolled in and the tour quickly became a Bank Holiday trip being stuck in the car. David did the rarest of things! He stopped on the road and offered to call it a day and refund the money! As a charity worker who has limited funds, and only having a short time on the island, I was so grateful as we were able to use the money on our final day to splash out on a nice dinner before leaving.

David was the consummate professional and representation of Tobago. Definitely recommend him and will certainly contact him again if Im able to get us to Tobago again in the future. read less

We could not bathe at the beaches but we still enjoyed our tour. The sight and sounds were amazing, not forgetting the smell the sea. Our tour guide was courteous and explained everything he knew as we went along. The drive through the Main Ridge was exceptional. We never believed a drive through the forest would be so enjoyable, not forgetting Informative. I would recommend Island Girls Tour to anyone. There is something special for all. read less

Thanks for the adventure, will be back soon! Cheers read less

Discovering New Gems on a 7th Tip to Tobago I’ve been to Tobago about 6 times now, so I... read moreI’ve been to Tobago about 6 times now, so I wasn’t really expecting to find anything completely new or unexpected on my 7th visit.. but, WOW was I wrong! David knew that I was not a first-timer, so he set up an itinerary of some pretty cool hidden gems around the Island, that definitely impressed me. We set out for Main Ridge from Castara, and spent the morning exploring the forest. From there, we continued around the Island, making all kinds of different stops that the average tourist would never see (but they are secret, so you’ll have to ask David to show you ). Lunch at Jemma’s treehouse restaurant was delicious, and the rest of the day went by so quickly, with another set of unique and interesting stops along the way. I’m going to be writing a full blog post on the experience, but I just wanted to post this quick review in the mean time. Island Girl Tours is the best tour company on the Island, and I will 100% be recommending David to anyone heading that way. Thanks David! read less

The Best Tour Ever Let me begin by saying I am not even sure... read moreLet me begin by saying I am not even sure I can eloquently write how amazing this tour was. First off, my friend and I decided last minute to go to Trinidad and Tobago and it was from December 26th to January 1st. When I first found this tour it was booked and so I figured we will have to find something else to do. My friend still went ahead and contacted David and David being the exceptional guide he is told us he was booked but he will ask the person who booked him for the private tour if he didn't mind if we joined. Well thank God he didn't mind because that was the best 11-12 hours spent. We were not rushed, it was not a boring drive and we saw hidden gems that no other tour guide would take you too. He also spoke to my friend and I and asked about dietary preferences (I am vegetarian and he accommodated me-- actually he is vegetarian too so he understands). He is well versed on Tobago and knows the island inside out. He took us to the best place to eat lunch, provided towels, water, juices, drinks etc. He is beyond professional, shows up on time and gives you way more than you paid for. I highly recommend this tour first and then you can map out the rest of your days. He went above and beyond for us, picked us up from the airport and dropped us off and also told us what to do the next day and arranged it all. He is one amazing tour guide and the reviews don't lie. This is The Man for Tobago. And just to add the bonus: David takes photos along the way and adds it to his stories and tags you with the places where you're at so you have it to remember. In the end all the photos are sent to you and to me pictures are worth way more than anything as they are time stamps to your experience of life... and who doesn't want to remember their travels. I can't say enough. read less

We chose Dave after reading the numerous outstanding reviews. They were all true. He was punctual, knowledgeable, flexible, & exceeded our expectations. He tailored our tour to our needs. Even minor details, like food allergies, were taken care of. This was a first-rate tour by an exceptional guide who happens to be a genuinely likeable person. He checked up on us & continued to help us days after the tour was over, going above & beyond all others in Tobago. We've been on many excursions on many vacations, but never written a review until now. There is no comparison. Dave was, by far, the best. After you see Tobago through Island Girl Tours' eyes, you'll want to thank us. read less

He was an attentive, engaging, informative host who selected key sites for us to visit. He readily adapted to the pace of our group--allowing for greater or lesser time at certain areas--and helped us take some great photos! We also enjoyed his lunch selection at Jemma's Treehouse. For our second excursion, we attended the Castara Bonfire and had dinner at Cascreole. Again, a thoroughly enjoyable outing with an excellent meal. We look forward to visiting Tobago again and booking another excursion with David and Island Girl Tours! read less

The beaches he picked were all unique in their own way allowing to get a diverse experience. He provided history and local customs throughout the trip in an interesting way that did not overwhelm us, but entertained us. His secret view stops were amazing.

Beyond the drive you would get with others he went above and beyond. We requested a stop at a souvenir shop. He took us to a shop where the owners made the majority of the products. Not junky trinkets, but adorable bird houses, and wind chimes, and other cravings not found anywhere else that I visited.

David promised a tour designed for us and it was. He stopped at grocery stores to find a hot hot hot sauce local to the island. Dropped us off after the tour for the best lobster dinner, then took us home afterwards. This along with many other extras is worth spending your day on this tour. read less

Must do for travellers to Tobago My family and I travelled to Tobago during this summer... read moreMy family and I travelled to Tobago during this summer vacation. We got in touch with David for the Island tour after reading the reviews on trip advisor. Despite the fact that we had been to Tobago before and thought we knew all the popular tourist stops, we were surprised to find there were many gorgeous places that we had not discovered on our previous trips. I really appreciated that David worked with us to customize the tour - before the tour he went through the route and tour stops with us and asked about our interests. We were able to spend more time in the places that we wanted to. This tour was the highlight of our trip - my kids aged 12 and 15 also commented on how much they enjoyed this part of the vacation. I would highly recommend this tour to any first time visitors to Tobago and even those who have been there before and think they know all the stops. It is a must do! David thank you for your amazing hospitality and for showing us an awesome time! read less

This tour covers learning about the overall history, participating in local events and culture practices, boat tours with a party on board, hiking, going to local secret food restaurants. I must say David went above and beyond to get fresh lobster for me my favorite seafood and was so scrumptious. Also we squeezed in some French cuisine and ended the night with partying among the bonfires🔥What more could we asked for?Not only that David manages an AirB n B where we stayed with an open outside kitchen where we’re waking up to the beautiful sounds of the birds of the Caribbean.This was an amazing package that no one can resist. I guarantee that you’ll have an amazing, fun unforgettable time of your life.David has great connections and does great networking and customizes your tour to accommodate your requests.Thank you David for your hospitality and going above and beyond! Kudos to you. Whoot whoot!!!🥳😎🤗👍🌊🏝🏖👙🐚🚣‍♀️ read less

We were taken to the most beautiful secluded coves for snorkelling with beautiful calm and clear water to see the coral.
As usual David was very knowledgable about the history of the different coves and the magnificent houses dotted on the hillside.
Lunch was delicious in the ‘secret location’ and the ride back on the speedboat followed by the dolphins was epic/exhilarating/awesome.
Thank you David & Ronaldo read less

Superb Island Tour Experience with Birthday Celebrations My mom, my sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our island... read moreMy mom, my sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our island tour of Tobago in July 2019. For my sister's birthday, we decided to link up with David from Island Girl Tours (aka The Best Naps Man EVER) and it was an awesome experience!!! The day was fun-filled and packed with activities and we shared our trip with two memorable guests Trevor and Lisa from Canada. I would recommend anyone to go to Island Girl Tours. The customer service is second to none and all the hidden gems of Tobago are revealed. Our day included some enchanting sites such as Argyle Waterfalls, Main Ridge Forest Reserve, Fort George, Flagstaff Hill, an Exquisite Seafood Lunch, Parlatuvier, Englishman's Bay and lots more. David at Island Girl Tours is "The BEST Tour Guide" you can ever have. If your making a trip to Tobago check him out ASAP or you will be missing out!!! If you are looking for someone polite, impeccable with time, loads of fun and able to design a tour customized to your needs he is THE MAN at Island Girl Tours. read less

Above and Beyond Prior to arriving in Tobago, we did extensive research to... read morePrior to arriving in Tobago, we did extensive research to determine which tour operator was "the best". We were a family of four with two teens. After spending 4 days with David and Island Girl Tours, we couldn't have made a better choice. If we would have gone somewhere else, I'm confident that we wouldn't have seen all that we saw. From the first contact, David's main purpose was to tailor the perfect trip for us. The activities we did with David:

1) Island tour. We did a circuit of the island in a day. We didn't do the 12 hour tour, but the 8 hour tour was perfect (actually closer to 10). We stopped at Argyle falls. We loved the short hike to the falls and the kids loved doing cannonballs into the pools below the falls. On the hike to the falls, we stopped numerous times for David to point out beautiful birds or foliage. It was educational and really awesome. We stopped and had lunch in the beautiful Speyside at Gemma's. We saw beautiful beaches at every turn and David stopped numerous times for us to get awesome pictures. One bit of warning, the roads in Tobago are very narrow and very curvy. If you're subject to motion sickness (like me), you might want to take a Dramamine or get the scopolamine patch, before you're travelling in Tobago. David did the absolute best he could and stopped several times for me to get a breath of fresh air. We were never hurried. It was also awesome that David provided towels and water/soft drinks for us. Again, we felt very catered to.

2) Caribbean Coast tour. We started by touring a few small towns that we didn't quite get to with our Island Tour. We didn't ask David to do this, he just wanted to make sure we saw as much as possible. We boarded a boat in Buccoo and had an awesome trip up the coast to snorkel in two protected coves. Again, towels and drinks were provided. We then went down to the No Man's Land peninsula for a BBQ lunch and some beach time. When we were ready, they took us out to Nylon Pool where we were able to wade around for a while. Finally, we returned to Buccoo. As we were pulling into a Buccoo harbor, someone let David and our captain, Blondie, know that dolphins had recently been spotted. So, rather than simply docking (two minutes away), they immediately turned around, hit the throttle and backtracked a ways until they were able to locate the dolphins. We spent the next hour watching the dolphins. It was awesome. They could have easily just finished the tour, but they were excited for us to see the dolphins. Again, above and beyond.

3) Little Tobago and Goat Island snorkeling. This day, David drove us to Speyside where we met Randy for the trip out to Little Tobago. Randy brought a high-powered scope on a tripod. As we hiked through Little Tobago, he pointed out a trapdoor spider hole (the kids enjoyed looking for them the rest of the trip) and spotted numerous birds. He immediately put the scope on the birds, so we could see them up close. It was amazing. We then snorkeled in front of Goat Island and it was equally awesome. Life jackets were provided for the less-accomplished swimmers (me), but it was super safe and fun. Randy jumped in the water with us and pointed out several different species we might have overlooked.

4) Because David wonted us to fully experience Main Ridge Trail, he insisted on taking us to Gilpin Trail. We are so glad he did. We had a beautiful hike through the forest looking at other birds, waterfalls and foliage. This was another awesome half-day trip.

One of the nights, we did a bonfire at his house on the beach. We met his lovely wife, Anna, and my kids enjoyed showing her how to do the Country Swing and the line dance to Cotton Eyed Joe. It was really great and we felt like we were hanging out with old friends.

Since the leatherback turtles have started to come on the beaches at night and lay their eggs, David really wanted us to have that experience. He has a friend that monitors the beach to make sure the turtles can lay safely. Since it was at night, David asked if it would be okay if he called us late at night to go see the turtles. We said we would be happy to go in the middle of the night if necessary. One of the nights, David called us at 12:30 in the morning to tell us a turtle had come up on the beach. He came to our hotel 20 minutes later and drove us to Turtle Beach where we spent an hour watching a leatherback lay eggs, cover the next and lumber back to the water. Yes, it was 1:30 in the morning, but it was so, so worth it. David also took us to Pigeon Point for the day to see the beach there.

Some of these were "throw ins" by David to make sure we had the best time possible. I won't tell you what we paid for and what was a throw-in so that I don't handcuff him in the future, but there was a lot he did for us to simply accentuate our trip.

I can't recommend David and Island Girl Tours any higher. We've toured a lot of the Caribbean and Hawaii. I can't say we've ever had a better, more thorough guide. You will not regret booking with Island Girl.

PS As a side, David and Anna have a house listed on Air BNB, Bacolet Bliss. This is where we had the bonfire. After spending an evening there, I wish we would have stayed there rather than the Magdalena Grand. read less

We shared our interest in seeing the leather back turtles and true to his word, David called us to see the turtle on the beach as they came up next day, free of charge. Thanks Island Girl Tours, we all had a blast!!! read less

David provided us with one of the most indepth, educational and most importantly fun tour we have ever been on. He took us around the island and showed us the best sights. From Castara to Argyle Falls to Parlatuvier. Not only was he very knowledgeable about the culture and nature of Tobago, he was also a joy to be around. And he was very accommodating for our little one. Dave was born and raised in T&T but he also lived in Canada for many years. So he knows exactly what North Americans want out of a vacation while also being fully emersed in the Caribbean world. He also showed us the wonderful cuisine that Tobago has to offer, including the Trinidadian delicacy doubles, and an array other culinary delights. I recommend David and Island Girl Tour's to anymore looking to travel to Tobago. You will not be disappointed! read less
