We’ve taken this tour with Gigi. Best tour I’ve ever taken in the Caribbean. Gigi is very knowledgeable. We did this recently on Oct 27 cruise on Equinox.

Enjoy.

So glad to hear....We are looking forward to her tour and of course the cruise...can't wait to get away from this cold weather (we're in New Jersey)

thanks for your input

We are not on your cruise, but did this tour with Gigi. It’s an amazing tour. When you get to the cemetery ( uneven walking areas) make sure you walk around and look at the marble ( granite?) on top of the graves. The detailing is amazing. Enjoy
