I have no knowledge of that tour operator but you certainly don't need a tour to go to Crystal Caves. It's easy to by some combination of bus/ferry/taxi...the exact routing based on where you're docked and your personal transportation preferences.

I have not used them personally.  However, I have used the public bus to get to the caves.  We did the aquarium/zoo in the morning and the caves in the afternoon.  Walked across the street from the caves and up the hill to have dinner and drinks at the Swizzle Inn.  You see so much of the island taking public buses.  The only thing you won't get is the narration that some tour companies provide.  BTW - public transportation on Bermuda is very easy and safe!

I’ve used Bermuda Byways island tour twice now.  Heidi is excellent tour guide and a 6th generation Bermudian.

Thank you for this information.  We booked Heidi for a TA this fall.   She was quick to respond and described a fun and full day.

I've always gotten a response the next morning. If it's been a couple of days.. try her Facebook page and message her there.

My thought was it might have ended up in her spam folder.

Put an "s" on the word "byway" and you should have it.  I have had immediate responses from Heidi at bermudabyways@gmail.com

Just an FYI that you absolutely CAN post a link to a tour operator's Facebook presence....it is only ROLL CALLS on FB that cannot be posted.

 

That said, I've personally taken Heidi's full day tour and I'll tell you it was a very long day!  I know (from following her on FB) that she has just lost her beloved pup Buddy, who traveled with her on every single tour so she may be delayed in responding.

Is Heidi’s tour good or would you suggest someone else?

Ok, good to know.  I had seen people talking about getting into trouble for posting links in the past. I didn't know it was specific to roll calls.  Thanks for clarifying.

 

Yeah, sad to hear about Buddy.

Sorry to hear about Buddy. The tour is long but doesn't she still include lunch? 

 

It is pretty easy to do a private taxi tour with a driver who has had a Blue Flag guide course. You can pre arrange or find drivers at the port. They have a 3 hour minimium and youb can direct them to what you intersted in. I don't make recommendations any more because the drivers I knew were good have died or retired. There are plenty of replacements but I don't want to say a name about a driver I know nothing about.

Thanks. It has been awhile so I didn't know if she had made any changes.

Sad to read as we are touring with Heidi in November and I had just last week sent her an email with a quick response.   

I know you mentioned a very long day but was it a good long day?  🙂

Would you recommend taking Heidi’s tour even if you have visited Bermuda several times before?
