Overview

This tour is unique because this is a private tour for you and your family alone. You will be with a local and get a local experience, including drinks and a small local taste.

This tour is not an ordinary tour like the others on the Island. We will show you 28 points of interest.

You will see all the major sites and highlights and experience local neighborhoods to sample snacks and drinks native to this region.

Because of this tour's minor group nature, you can ask questions and make custom requests if there’s something you want to see.
This tour is very flexible. Time allows, and we’ll do all we can to make this trip memorable for you and your group!

At the end of the tour, you will get a local appreciation from us.

That is a private personal tour.

If you are only one person, don't hesitate to contact shekhinahtours directly.
