Weather was rainy but he still managed to take me around to two popular beaches and one of the highlights was the Bonfire at Castara.
David's knowledge of the island, his pleasant demeanour, his attention to minute details, all made my time with him well-spent and l felt very safe with him.
I would definitely recommend him to families, couples or singles who want An Island Experience. He is professional and just a cheerful individual.
Thanks David. read less

Simply the BEST I met an old friend from my school days in... read moreI met an old friend from my school days in Tobago and we decided to do an island tour. We landed on Island Girl Tours and The Grand Circle Island Tour. What a stroke of luck!!! David is the ultimate tour guide . He loves his job and his island and this energy just flows wherever he is. We did everything! Swimming, snorkeling, hiking, sightseeing, bird watching and more. We had an incredible lunch and some fantastic conversations. He is very intelligent, and was polite and a gentleman the whole way through! (Which is not always a common thing for women travelling by themselves, let me tell you , I've had some experiences on other islands) Anyway, David is awesome ,IGT is awesome and The Grand Circle Island Tour is awesome and not to be missed! I will say this to potential visitors to Tobago , NO ONE is doing anything near a tour like this in Tobago. I mean 12-13 hours???
The proof is in the pudding . Book this young man. You won't be disappointed. read less

Our first tour was of the Cocoa Estates coca farm where we enjoyed a guided tour through the grounds this trip also included a small waterfall and tour of the fort in Scarborough. Our second trip out with David was to Bucoo reef/Nylon pool/ No mans land aboard Captain Romeos Sugar Lips boat - included great snorkelling and swimming. Our last adventure with David was booked was the 8-9hr tour. David took us to many spots on the island including both famous tourist stops and also spots off the route of most tours. I would highly recommend touring with David and booking ahead before leaving Canada was easy - David was always early for hotel pick up and very accomodating - as well as enthusiastic, fun and an excellent guide. read less

He showed us a side of Tobago we never would have experienced without him. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and informative about the island—it’s nature, history, people, places etc. All that aside we genuinely enjoyed spending time with David. He’s friendly, a good listener, and he let us direct our trip the way we wanted to. We highly recommend David and Island Girl Tours for anyone wanting to experience Tobago to the fullest! read less

We were picked up from our hotel and first stop was cocktails at Castara Retreats,which has an amazing location above the bay and built around nature as a massive tree house. We watched the spectacular sunset and then drove down to the Bay for dinner at the beach front resturant, Cascreol. The food was amazing, we had baked fish in coconut sauce. After dinner came the Steel drums, who were fantastic. David arranged for my wife to light the first bonfire of the night. He has all the contacts. We could have stayed all night dancing to the DJ but left around 11pm as we had an early flight next day. Again David was most obliging to our needs and drove us back to our hotel. This is the only night tour you will find and we were fortunate to have met David to arrange everything safely.
Would recommend Island girl to anyone visiting Tobago. read less

A Tour with a Mission: To Instill a Sense of Passion for Tobago and Its People We did the Grande Circle Island Tour, and I'm convinced... read moreWe did the Grande Circle Island Tour, and I'm convinced this was the most efficient way to have spent our far-too-short-a-time in Tobago. David is more than a tour guide, but a true ambassador of Tobago. With Island Girls, your guide has a deep love for his country, and his mission is to share this passion. Having lived overseas for a significant period of time (Canada), David not only understands the land from which you come, but also anticipates the questions you may have, the beauty you’ll be astounded by, and the experiences that alter the way you see the world. We learned more about Trinidad & Tobago in the first 30 minutes of the tour than in all our pre-trip preparation. He is extremely well-connected with local business owners, so it felt as if we got VIP treatment at every stop. I also appreciate the many accommodations and adjustments David made to the tour to accommodate my wife’s broken leg! David personally made our vacation much more meaningful than it would have been had we not taken this tour. Relax and enjoy the ride. read less

David and Kristen are wonderful people who took care of us from first thing in the morning until drop off at dusk. They make sure the tour is tailored to what you want to see and do whilst making sure you're well fed and topped up with drink ☺️

Having grown up on the island David is very informative about the local area, we went to bays and waterfalls that I'm sure we would have missed otherwise

It really was an unforgettable day that I'll cherish for years to come. Thankyou Island girl tours, hopefully we'll be back one day! read less

The best tour to see Tobago This is quite simply the best tour to see all... read moreThis is quite simply the best tour to see all that Tobago has to offer. David was amazing at communicating before we arrived (including changing dates due to the British Airways strike!), and was only too pleased to customise our day for the experience we wanted. Other tour operators were either going to lump us in with another group, or seemed to be just copying and pasting information. With David this was very much OUR tour, and nothing felt rushed or like it was too much trouble. I’m an introvert, so it was great feeling relaxed enough to have honest conversations with him about the island and the people. My recommendation is go early during your trip so you can make notes for local places to visit later on, and not to be shy about asking for anything you want to include. read less

Everything was taken care of - he picked us up, secured a great boat captain, took us to some incredible beaches, and made sure we had enough beer & Tequila for the day!

The challenge on this trip was that all of us had been to Tobago before, and we had each done some of the typical tourist sites/stops already. Some of us already loved the island, and others were more skeptical because of previous bad experiences. David worked with us to build an itinerary that would convince even the biggest skeptic that Tobago is the best-kept secret in the Caribbean. We spent the day exploring, learning, and laughing. Whether it's your first trip or your fifth, you can't go wrong with David and Island Girl Tours! read less

Tobago Couples Vacation BEWARE! If you tour with Island Girl Tours, you may... read moreBEWARE! If you tour with Island Girl Tours, you may never want to leave Tobago. 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

Because it was the carnival season, finding a place to stay was proving difficult and David was kind enough to allow our group to stay on his property. While there, he educated us on Tobago and its history. He's extremely knowledgeable and it became very obvious that he cares deeply about Tobago and its people. Ontop of his guided tours, he gave us some impromptu tours of the island during Carnival. His approach to introducing you to Tobago felt more like a personal experience and when my partner proposed to me on this Trip he even celebrated with us! He's an all around good soul and I would highly recommend him. Even if it's just for some company. read less

Working with the owner, David, made the entire process very easy. He's very communicative, helpful and most definitely committed to ensuring our day was fun! David picked us up in Castara and was right on time. Our discussion on our drive was very pleasant and we learned a lot about the history of Tobago.
The glass bottom boat left from beautiful Pigeon Point. The snorkeling at Buccoo Reef was excellent and wallowing in the waters of Nylon Pool is a lot of fun. If you're thinking of doing something like this, it's definitely worth it. read less

With all the island has to offer, where would a single female traveller begin her planning on such a short stay? My inquires led me to Island Girl Tours . I decided to book the Grand Circle Island tour with the owner David.
To my amazement all my apprehension vanished with minutes of meeting David. His respect , professionalism and passion for what he does sold me instantaneously. He showed me a map of Tobago , plotted the course for the day and also engaged me in the planning , asking my preferences as he tailored the tour to me. David's knowledge of the island's history , with it's unexplored beauty shown through his eyes , coupled with his passion for providing his clients the most exhilarating and SAFE experience made my choice with Island Girl tours priceless!
For anyone looking to have a memorable experience during their visit to Tobago , I HIGHLY recommend Island Girl Tours. read less

Remarkable Tour with a Six Star Guide Had two days of tours with David - first day... read moreHad two days of tours with David - first day being the Grand Circle Island Tour and then the second day full of hikes and some beach at the end of the day.

Let me begin by saying that David is one of the most professional, reliable and engaging guides I have had in all my world travels (60 countries). At all times he was able to provide detailed information and history behind what we are seeing, doing, etc... Not just pointing, stopping to take a picture and moving on. I would not even consider other tour guides out there when booking tours given you will miss so much by having an 8 hour tour vs. an 11 or 12 hour tour (and remember, if it's private you can always cut it down to 10 at the end of the day).

Regarding hiking/nature - David is also your go to guide here. Case in point - in the bird trail in the Main Ridge Forest Reserve, we went further than any of the dozen other guides on the tour. The majority of them stop at only the first two waterfalls. We hiked on-wards another 15-20 minutes and found an incredible third waterfall where it was clear it is rarely seen by tourists given the growth along the trail (minor growth but noticeable that there is less foot traffic).

Outside of the above, David is excellent with knowing great spots for doubles, roti, fresh seafood (eastern side of the island), logistics - airport/hotel pickups/dropoffs, etc.. He does it all.

***AND BEST OF ALL - IF HE SAYS HE WILL SHOW UP AT 8:00A.M., HE IS READY AND WAITING AT 08:00A.M. - NOT THE LOCAL'S TIME OF 9 OR 9:30*** read less

I guess this is the laid back island life! David picked us up and we were having fun well before we arrived at Argyle Falls. The weather was great. The drive was calm. The views were tropical paradise. And then we arrived and started a gentle 15 minute walk to the falls. I'm not sure who David bribed, but the path was littered with tropical birds. The motmots and cocrico showed no fear of us! At one point, the bamboo arched above like the ceiling of a cathedral. And David was a wealth of knowledge about the flora and fauna. It turns out the Argyle Falls is more than the 3 pools it presents itself to be. I will be back! And definitely will try to get David again 😀 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

David customized the tour based on each family member's interests, and he took us on a fantastic drive to many different sites around the island. We visited historic areas, tucked-away beaches, hiking spots, excellent restaurants for lunch and refreshment breaks, and hidden gems that we would have otherwise missed. The best part is that David seemingly knows everyone on the island, so we would stop and chat with the locals, and this really gave us a flavor for the island. This tour was the ideal way for us to get a feel for the island and learn where we wanted to spend extra time during the rest of the week. Highly recommended!!! read less

David did an excellent job at making my vacation completely stress free. From arranging my pick up, to ensuring water transport and food (even with dietary restrictions) were taken care of for the entire trip, it all went off without a hitch.

He's an excellent host (wish I'd known he was an Airbnb superhost to book that with him as well), he knows all the hidden gems of this beautiful island paradise, the secret passages, history and is a great all rounded conversationalist. David is the most connected tour guide and thank God he is, because it means you get that really extra special treatment from everyone you encounter while on tour with him.

There's no better way to learn Tobago than with Island Girl Tours family. They're all very knowledgeable, entertaining, helpful, outgoing and hands down the most humble and down to earth tour family anyone can book with.

No other tour guide asked of any food allergens or what I'd like to really experience on tour. It's not a one cut tour but an experience unique to your likes and desires.

Five stars to David and Kristin on their outstanding service,it's obvious they love what they do and are ever more passionate about showing visitors all the reasons they love what they do. Will be booking again soon and bringing a bunch more folks with me. See you again soon Tobago!!! read less

YOU MUST BOOK THIS TOUR! If I could leave a million star review I would.... read moreIf I could leave a million star review I would. Do not even consider using another tour guide. I hate tour groups, they usually are impersonal, the guides are in it just for the money, and I never get to see or do the things I want to do for the length of time that I want to do. David is FAR from that guide. He immediately confirmed my full day island tour. He called me the day before my tour and asked what I wanted to do and because of the weather he blocked off both the Saturday and the Sunday for me, so that whatever I could not do in Saturday I could do Sunday. We ended up leaving later because of the rain and did a half island tour with hopes to finish on Sunday. Even though he usually doesn't combine tours and groups (I said it was okay!) we met up with another lovely couple and did their half island tour.
David is seriously amazing. He was always on top if his game, providing drinks, and knowledge that is far beyond effort a "regular" guide would provide.
Due to a freak tropical storm Sunday was cancelled so I didn't get to finish my tour, even though he couldn't control the weather he insisted we get drinks and go to dinner to make for it! He is so friendly and will make you feel right at home. I have never felt more safe with a guide, who clearly does his job with so much love and passion that it isn't even work anymore. Honestly, him and his tours blew me away. There is a reason it is the number one tour on the island. And it made my trip to Tobago one in a million. I will definitely be back again. read less

David did such an excellent job taking us around and giving us a real sense of the beauty of the island. He personalized the trip for us and made sure our preferences were highlighted. Beautiful beaches, boat rides, snorkeling in Speyside, and a fabulous lunch were just a few of the highlights from our day. One of the best parts is he really makes it feel like a cool road trip with friends. He is an excellent, accommodating host. I would whole-heartedly recommend the tour and all of the Island Girl Services. read less
