We’ll be on the Caribbean Princess in a few weeks. No solid plans for this port. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Duran Duran tours.  We used this tour several years ago for the tour of the city  and it was great.  We were the only ones and he used his private car and was our tour guide.  He has been in the business for many years and teaches classes at the local university for future tour guides.  Plus, it was a lot more than the ship tour and a whole lot cheaper.

We did a katameran from the pier to the old city.

 

walked for an hour or two then it got very hot/humid and called it a day.

 

please be aware street hawkers and pan handlers are very aggressive.

 

you can purchase some fine cigars from many stores.

We used Dora the Explorer last month. She was excellent and we were thankful for her air-conditioned van to sightsee in as it was very hot and humid. The street vendors knew her so they didn't bother us. Cost was $65 each payable at the end of a four hour tour. We were in a group of about 12 people. We met up with her at the end of the pier as instructed near the bird sanctuary which was very enjoyable to wander through at the end of her tour (free). She has great reviews on Trip Advisor.
