We chose this tour company because it said it tailors the day to what you enjoy doing and that is exactly what David does, we said that we like exploring and seeing the culture and that's what we did.
From the day we booked this tour David kept in touch discussing what we would like to do and on the day we were picked up at 7am and he took us for doubles for breakfast first which were delicious, then to the Mangroves, waterfalls, and lots of other places all the way round the Island, some of them were where other tourist companies don't go, we stopped and had coconuts, the lunch we had was amazing and all the time you could tell how much he genuinely wanted to please, we were never rushed from place to place like we have previously experienced with other tours.

We couldn't believe it when he said at one point we had been out 9 hours, (time flies when you are enjoying yourself) and that's what we did for the 12 hours we were on this tour, he took some lovely photos of us at different places and sent them to us so we now have these to remind us of our amazing tour of Tobago.
I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tobago.

Awesome #1 Island Tour on Tobago Firstly if you are considering a tour operator on Tobago... read moreFirstly if you are considering a tour operator on Tobago for an island tour then David is your guy.
I have visited Tobago on previous occasions and thought I knew the island pretty well but David showed us places I never before considered or even knew existed.
Before we arrived in Tobago David and I had discussions on what my family wanted to see or experience and he created the perfect itinerary for our trip.
We really appreciated David's flexibility because some of the places we visited are so lovely that we wanted to spend more time in certain locations and this resulted in the the tour being adapted as we went along, to accommodate as much as possible, without missing out on other things. We actually went way over the scheduled time that David joined us for dinner and drinks late into the evening!
My family felt so comfortable with David that it was like spending time with an old friend. Nothing was too much for David and we laughed so much.
If we could rate the Grand Circle Island Tour higher than excellent then it would be simply AWESOME. Thank you so much David for all you did for us. read less

Paradise Found My wife and I travelled to Tobago in March 2019... read moreMy wife and I travelled to Tobago in March 2019 and are forever thankful for meeting David with Island Girl Tours.

He picked us up at 8am at the Starfish Tobago hotel on Turtle Beach. Our first destination was Fort King George so we headed across the island to this historic site. If you are a historian, Tobago and all it’s forts are a must see.

From there, we headed north towards Fort Granby and our next destination, Argyle Falls. We were in awe on how around every turn, the views and vistas were so beautiful. Tobago is much more mountainous than we had expected and we loved every moment and the stories David told us as we toured.

We spent about 45 minutes at Argyle Falls and although we didn’t brave swimming in the lower pools, we did enjoy watching others climb up and jump in. I will admit flip flops are not a good idea as the rocks can be slippery so running or water shoes are recommended. David had mentioned this prior to and was totally good with us packing a day bag and leaving it locked in his SUV.

From there, we headed inland to the Main Ridge Reserve and were able to see some beautiful birds and wildlife. It was from the Bloody Bay Recreation Site that the view was truly magical - we couldn’t tell where the ocean ended or the sky began.

From there, we headed to Speyside which was originally a sugar estate. It was here we stopped and had lunch and a cold beer at a local establishment. It was clean and the food was tasty.

Our next stop was Flag Staff Hill which overlooks Charlotteville - this is where the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean meet. There wasn’t much to Flag Staff other than a stunning view and if you needed a place to stretch your legs, you could do it while taking it all in.

Next stop was Fort Campbelton - another amazing panoramic view - all the while, David offered a history lesson of all these places.

From there, we stopped for a cold beer at Paradise Point in Parlatuvier, met some kind locals and had some laughs. At this point, we were on the Atlantic side of the island and can honestly say, we had fallen in love.

By now, it was about 2PM and it was getting hot so our next stop was Englishman’s Bay for a swim! It was a quiet beach with smooth stones underfoot, crystal clear water and the perfect place for a dip. We did see people snorkelling here and would go back another time with our gear.

From there, we stopped at The Castara Retreat for a cappuccino and met the owner. We saw wild parrots in the trees, stingrays in the bay below and took in some calypso music.

Somewhere between Castara Bay and our hotel, David pulled over on the side of the road and we had doubles - a local lunch - made with chic peas and flat bread. It was delicious and we had officially caught our Island Girl vibe!

David is kind, knowledgeable and we always felt safe on his tour. He was always quick to answer questions on Whats App and helped us plan other days during our vacation.

He is LGBT friendly, knows Tobago like the back of his hand and certainly was a huge part in making our first trip to Tobago, unforgettable.

Thank you David @ Island Girl Tours, Tobago. read less

So, besides having a full day of adventure, beauty, and great food, we also had the pleasure of great conversation and sharing. Perhaps because he is Canadian and Trinny, he really knows how to marry a well crafted, substantive experience with a free wheeling, spontaneous adventure. Don’t even think about using any other guide. Just call David, tell him what kind of experience you want, and he’ll exceed your expectations. 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

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

Personable and down to earth, lively and VIBRANT, knowledgeable, daring yet calculated, ACCOMMODATING, reassuring and goes above, beyond, side-to-side and around are A FEW descriptives of David... Imagine combining all of that with an amazingly beautiful tour of the island to places no other tour guides go.

I had a few reservations prior to the tour and was a little worried because of things that happened on a previous tour in Trinidad that left me somewhat "wounded". He called prior to my tour with him and some friends and assured me that I had NOTHING to worry about and that he would accommodate us accordingly. WE HAD AN AMAZING TIME! Although the 3 of us were pretty different, he was a magician at making it all work. He is AMAZING! read less

He is down to earth, extremely professional and passionate about what he does. The Grand Circle Island tour will make you fall in love with this beautiful island in one day! You will certainly leave with a piece of Tobago in your heart. I cannot wait to return! read less

A worthwhile tour We are mother and daughter (15) from Germany and we... read moreWe are mother and daughter (15) from Germany and we travel unusually in regions far away. Despite many holidays within Europe we wanted to see something more exotic. On the basis of many good reviews we booked the “Grand Circle Island Tour” by “Island Girl Tours” already in Germany.
The ratings don’t lie, we were pleasantly surprised.
Days before the tour began our guide David contacted us to inquire about our preferences and expectations.
Also we set pick up location and time.
David picked us up on time and a event-proof day began. We drove to places specified in the tour description by car.
David took the organization and could provide interesting facts and information about the attractions.
Without him we had never visit some of the attractions because we drove to less popular places too.
As David lives in Tobago since many years he knows all the interesting locations and people.
The dealings were very friendly, not just a guide. We were able to communicate with him just with our English knowledge from school. David also organized short term wishes per telephone for example the visiting of baby turtles at the beach.
Moreover he carried the box of chilled water the whole day with him 😊
Our tour began at 7:45 am and ended after a little break at our hotel on a beach party to which David invited us.
Also on the days after the tour David stands to our side with advice and action.
We truly can recommend this tour: friendly, competent and more a friend then a businessman.
We felt all the time save an welcome.

With this rating we want to thank David for the exciting days again.

Wir sind Mutter und Tochter(15) aus Deutschland und sind eher selten in soweit entfernten Regionen unterwegs. Trotz diverser Urlaube in Europa wollten wir auch einmal etwas exotisches sehen. Aufgrund der sehr guten Bewertungen buchten wir im Vorfeld bereits in Deutschland die Grand Circle Island Tour von Island Girl Tours.
Eines vorweg: Die Bewertungen lügen nicht, wir wurden äußerst positiv überrascht.
Schon Tage vor Tourbeginn nahm unser Guide David Kontakt zu uns auf und erkundigte sich nach unseren Vorlieben und Erwartungen. Auch wurden so Abholort und Zeit abgestimmt. Pünktlich wurden wir von David abgeholt und begonnen einen sehr ereignisreichen Tag.
Mit dem Auto ging es zur in der Tourbeschreibung angegebenen Orten.
David übernahm hierbei die Organisation und konnte zu jedem der besuchten Orte interessante Informationen liefern. Ohne ihn hätten wir viele Sehenswürdigkeiten nicht besuchen können oder gefunden, denn wir fuhren auch zu weniger bekannten Orten.
Da David seit sehr vielen Jahren auf Tobago wohnt kennt er die interessanten Orte und Leute. Der Umgang war sehr freundschaftlich, nicht einfach nur ein Guide. Wir könnten uns mit ihm mit dem bei und vorhandenen Schul-Englisch sehr gut verständigen. Kurzfristige Wünsche wurden von David rasch per Telefon organisiert, wie zum Beispiel die Besichtigung von Baby Schildkröten am Strand. Auch trug er den ganzen Tag die Truhe mit den gekühlten Getränken😊
Die Tour begann für und um 7:45 und endete nach einem Zwischenstopp im Hotel gemeinsam auf einer Strand Party zu der David und einlud.
Auch an den kommenden Tagen stand er und mit Rat und Tat zur Seite.
Wir können die Tour einfach nur empfehlen: freundlich, kompetent und mehr Freund als Businessman.
Wir fühlten uns jederzeit willkommen und sicher.

Mit dieser Bewertung möchten wir uns nochmals bei David für die ereignisreichen Tage bedanken. read less

We booked the tour before leaving the UK and all communication with David before and after arriving was excellent.
This tour is like no other tour. There are no time constraints or specific schedule as such to the day, it just flows.
You see the best that the island has to offer and this is down to David. He is so enthusiastic about the Island and it shows. He has great knowledge of the island and about so many other things. He is a great communicator and good company very friendly and approachable. It was more like meeting up with a friend for the day than going out on a tour. I am so very glad that we found Island Girl Tours as the whole day was amazing. We swam in fantastic secluded beaches, visited mangroves with not a soul in site, ate 'doubles', saw such beautiful scenery and wildlife and just generally had the most brilliant day.
Thank you David! 🙂 read less

His meticulous attention to detail reflects in his BnB, his property, and most definitely his tours. David immediately felt like a long lost friend and he went out of his way to give us the Caribbean experience of a lifetime.

From a surprise late night giant sea turtle birthing to boat trips and snorkeling in some of the most beautiful water you’ll ever see, from delicious seafood to liming the night away to the sweet rhythm of a steel drum, David will take great pride and care to make sure you have an experience you won’t forget!

My friends and I booked the Caribbean coast tour to do some snorkelling and it was just amazing. We didn't have a car and David also organised a pick up and drop off for us that which was very impressive because he didn't have to do that for us. We were taken to 3 different spots by captain Jason, who was very informative about the history of the island and the history of the different sites. At no point did we feel rushed while we were swimming and watching the marine life. After the snorkelling we were taken dolphin watching and then to No Man's Land for lunch. I will totally book with this tour operator again because, although I didn't get to personally meet David, I was very pleased by his professionalism and also his accommodating nature. If you're looking for a tour operator to do something fun in Tobago, look no further than islandgirl tours! It's great! read less

David contacted us in advance and asked for preferences and was modeling everything of the tour to our needs. He arrived punctual and was a great guy from the beginning on. We had great conversations while he drove us around the island, handled us snacks when we needed them, and when he found out we liked something more, he changed the tour so we could enjoy it more.

We bathed in lonely waterfalls, we were relaxing on almost empty beaches, we asked a lot and he knew everything about this island. From tourists with sparse informations we became fans of Tobago with a good knowledge of were to go on the island.

Actually we became fans so much, we extended our stay for a week! read less

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

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
