tsxgray1 Posted November 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I am looking at either Cosol Tours or Herod's tours for our St Lucia stop in January. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Riversedge Posted November 7, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Have not been with Cosol tours but did go with Herod. He was wonderful and would use him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickadee1 Posted November 9, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 9, 2014 WE just got back from our tour with Cosol which was very entertaining and informative. It was a long day - like most of these islands they roads are hilly and windy but no one suffered any motion sickness. Cosol is evidently well-known and well-liked on this island and we had a good tour. I would be comfortable going with him. The day before we had gone with Lawrence of Antigua who had used a speaker to amplify his voice and I worried when I saw Cosol didn't use that system but he speaks loudly and clearly! Great tour!

I appreciate the very current report - sounds like you had a great time! Any more pointers you can give us regarding the Cosol Tour? It does sound like a long day so I was a little concerned it was too long....? ~Joyce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merinski Posted November 9, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 9, 2014 We really enjoyed Cosol tour! It was such a great tour! It is long , but not too long. We planned it around not doing other long ones on other stops. It is well worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jean87510 Posted November 9, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I am looking at either Cosol Tours or Herod's tours for our St Lucia stop in January. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks! Sent from my iPad using Cruise Critic Forums mobile app We just did Herod's Island splendor tour on 11/7 and it was great. I did write about it on t.a. I will say this: If you want to avoid a long car ride or any car ride, do this tour. It was completely by boat. I do know that he did raise the price on this tour to $75 or $80 a person. You need to have at least 9-12 people confirmed. There is no deposit. He is very difficult to reach but keep trying at his gmail address on his website. He does have a land and sea tour. If you like snorkeling and not being at one place for 15 minutes then the next place for 15 minutes...etc... do this. Hope this helps. We have a seven port cruise and so far this was the best excursion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickadee1 Posted November 10, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) I appreciate the very current report - sounds like you had a great time!

It does sound like a long day so I was a little concerned it was too long....? ~Joyce We had actually booked this as a 4 hr tour but it did run more like 6 hrs which was longer than we had wanted. All parts were good and I don't know what we could have skipped to shorten the trip - maybe the walking tour of the private estate? It was a little long and we were tired by then. Of course, with 5 islands in 5 days, we definitely were just plain tired!! If you do book him with a 4 hour tour, I would make it very clear to him that that is all you want. There was a little trouble with payment at the end of the tour. He had said $65 for 4 hrs but charged $75 for the 6 hrs. However, I gather this is good advice always to agree verbally before you start to drive! Edited November 10, 2014 by chickadee1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
