Private Guided Grenada Island Tour "BY THE HOUR"

For our private hourly island tours, we are simply giving a deal of per hour, fully private and customized. You can let me know activity level, interest in adding a short hike, river tubing etc. If you don’t know yet what you want to see, your guide will discuss details with you and play it by ear. All we ask upfront is a 1-hour deposit to block the entire day, vehicle and guide for you! You can also decide on your pickup time directly from your hotel lobby at your convenience. You can then enjoy the day out with your guide with no time pressure or worries about the weather situation, etc. We have a 4-hour minimum policy, but a budget of 6 hours would be highly recommended This deal, we believe, gives you the most flexibility for exploring! After the tour you can then pay the guide right in the car via credit card or cash for the remainder. We trust you with this payment as you trust us with your valuable vacation time!

  • Across dozens of reviews, guides Marcus, Travis, Neon, Alvin, and others are praised in nearly identical terms: knowledgeable, passionate about Grenada's history and culture, safe drivers, and skilled at making guests feel like they're being shown around by a friend rather than a hired guide. Repeat visitors are common — at least one group noted this was their third tour with Marcus — which speaks to the lasting impression the guides leave.
  • The tour's by-the-hour, customizable format is a consistent highlight, with reviewers frequently noting that guides tailored stops to their specific interests and adjusted plans on the fly. Several guests mentioned adding extra time on the day because they were enjoying themselves so much, and at least one reviewer flagged that the company is happy to design a 'magical mystery tour' for those with no set preferences.
  • Standout stops mentioned repeatedly across reviews include Annandale Falls, the Grand Etang Rainforest and crater lake, a chocolate factory tour, rum tasting, and close-up encounters with Mona monkeys — many reviewers singled out the monkey experience as a trip highlight. At least one reviewer noted a small entrance fee at Annandale ($2 per person), and a few called out local lunch stops and the West Indies Brewery as memorable additions.
  • At least one reviewer had a frustrating experience worth flagging: despite clearly communicating a simple, direct itinerary in advance, the driver took a significantly longer route, and the billing clock appeared to start earlier than the booked 9am start time, resulting in unexpected extra charges. The reviewer also noted that a rescheduling email sent two days prior went unanswered. This was an isolated account among overwhelmingly positive reviews, but travelers with tight schedules or specific routing needs may want to confirm all details in writing.
  • One reviewer described a unique optional add-on through Marcus: a partnership with a local dog rescue shelter where guests can take a dog along for part of the tour in exchange for a small donation — something no other tour company on the island reportedly offers. The same tour included history about the American invasion memorials and a wreck-dive site visible from shore, suggesting Marcus in particular layers in lesser-known historical context.
  • At least one reviewer explicitly described this as a family-friendly experience and noted they planned to bring their kids on a future visit, though reviews don't go into detail about specific ages or how well the pace suits younger children. The general tone — flexible timing, outdoor stops, animal encounters, food tastings — suggests broad appeal for families, but parents of very young children may want to check activity suitability when booking.

Just a short drive from the capital, Annandale Falls are enclosed in a garden of green and a wall of rocks covered in soft ferns and other vegetation. A dip is most invigorating. Or simply revel in the beauty and sounds of the falls. Spend time in the surrounding gardens where tropical flowers and trees flourish and visit the Interpretation Centre, Bar and Restaurant.

The most popular areas in Grenada for hiking and trekking is undoubtedly the rainforest around the Grand Etang Forest Reserve, high up in the mountains of the island’s interior. Grand Etang’s flora includes towering mahogany and giant gommier trees as well as a multitude of ferns, tropical flowers, and other indigenous plants. The lush vegetation provides shelter for a wide variety of animals, particularly for the island’s many species of birds. The broad winged hawk, Lesser Antillean swift, Antillean euphonia, purple throated carib, Antillean crested hummingbird and the Lesser Antillean tanager (known as the soursop) are all common sights. In addition, Grand Etang is populated by plenty of frogs and lizards, as well as playing host to opossums, armadillos, mongoose, and the Mona monkey.

Clarke’s Court Rum Distillery is a "must see" for all visitors, the island’s best-known and largest distillery and one of the most interesting historical sites. The factory has been in operation since 1937 and is situated in the southern part of the island. When you arrive you would be welcomed by a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide, who will explain the history and all the different processes and stages of making fine rum. You would learn of the distilling process from sugar cane, syrup and molasses, to rum, and also the aging, blending and bottling processes of making rum. On the tour you would also get the opportunity to discover old steam engines, some dating as far back as 1886. The tour of the factory lasts about fifteen minutes, after which you would be escorted to our Hospitality Center, where you will see our unique Barrel Furniture and an interesting display of the Clarke’s Court products. You are invited to sample award-winning rums at the sample bar.
