Our day started out with David who was our tour guide the day before and we loved him so much we requested him for our hike trip and return transfer to the airport. I am not the most athletic, I found the hike to be strenuous, as for my friend she was not winded at all however David who was suppose to be only our driver also came on the hike with us. I have to say, if he was not there supporting, encouraging and lending me a helping hand, I wound not have been able to complete the hike thus would not have made it to the top! The view at the top was beautiful but for me it was more of a sense of achievement.
The tours provided by Janus are not set in stone meaning you can customize how much time you want to spend in a particular area or where you want to go. You get a private car instead of sitting in a bus with strangers. You become friends with your tour guide and he tries to grant your every wish may it be finding a coconut to drink or to revisit a place you seen before. Thank you for allowing me to experience your island to the fullest.

Hi Janus!
I had high expectations for our excursion and the make it happen man absolutely beat them! He went above and beyond. He took the most wonderful pictures on my camera for us.
The climb was tough but worth it. The mud baths were amazing! We pretty much had them to ourselves. We had the stunning waterfall to ourselves! We ended the day with a delicious local lunch. We felt completely spoilt. We had the most wonderful day. We were out from 8am til around 6:30pm! I'm completely blown away with this beautiful island, the friendly locals, the food, our hotel and your tour company. We are hoping to come back soon and I'll definitely be in touch with you to schedule another tour.
Thank you so much for everything!

Thank you for an excellent service. our "piton tour" with our driver (Danny boy) was a great experience. Our journey to the trail was very enjoyable, as Danny has very good knowledge about St Lucia, he shared lots of interesting facts with us through the journey, keeping even 2 teenagers entertained with his great sense of humour. He made final part of our holiday!
When we come back to St Lucia we will definitely use this service and "might try the petit piton mountain" on the next trip
Thank you again,

Many thanks for the excellent service and helping me to get the most from my adventure of hiking Gros Piton. Brenner provided a comfortable and very safe trip to and from the mountain and my hotel, which is important for women taking a tour on their own in a foreign country. Merril, my hiking guide was very patient, stuck close by and made sure I was always safe. While an experience mountain hiker I hadn't hiked in five years and was out of shape. I am also getting up there in age! As a result I took it very slowly, snails could have passed me, but Merril did not complain even though it is far more difficult to go that slow when you are used to the hike. It is worth every ache and pain to view the world from the top. The key is take it at your pace, drink plently of water and wear appropriate footwear (turning an ankle is very possible). This hike is steep and rocky, with virtually no flat spots! A few times you may even resort to "all fours" to help you climb up/down the rocks (it is not hard like rock climbing though, this is still hiking I am talking about). Definitely worth the experience.

SHAWN THE TAXI DRIVER AND HIS PARTNER IS AWESOME !!!! I went online looking for a tour company to do the piton climb. I was coming from Barbados by myself which I was a little scared to do it alone. I emailed this tour company and I received a quick response. They gave me the best price to do the tour private . Shawn vybz was so cool and he was educating me about Saint Lucia after the hike we also stopped at a souvenir shop for me to get something good for my family; It was an amazing fun & exciting hike with Shawn ... I had to tip him extra THANKS..

Hi Janus,
I would like to say a very big Thank You for the efficient way that you handled booking or the gros piton climb - it couldn't have been easier. Everything was as you said it would be. Our driver was polite, courteous and very knowledgable about the island - answering all my children's questions and providing tips as to what to expect while on the climb. He gave an excellent first impression of St Lucia and it's people.

Janus-
We had an awesome time on the Gros Piton Hike. Danny Boy was an excellent tour guide. We learned so much about your island. He went out of his way to accommodate us and made us feel very comfortable. We would definitely recommend him and your tour service to anyone we know who will be traveling to St. Lucia. Tell Danny Boy we say hello and "ya mon!"

Dear Janus: We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with David to the Gros Piton. He was very professional and friendly.The "extra" stops to get fresh mangoes and bread, take a swim at the waterfall, and to take pictures was really great. Both of my teens were pleased and found the hike very adventurous. When we got to 3/4 mark, I was doubting myself, but I did make it to the top. Thanks for making our visit to St. Luicia a memorable one. We hope to return when we can spend more than one day there.

Hello Janus,
Thank you so much for the excursion arrangements. We had a delightful day exploring the pitons and couldn't have asked for a better guide. Shawn was very personable and informative, taking care to give us more of an islanders perspective. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and would highly recommend Shawn and Real St. Lucia Tours to others!

Hi Janus
The tour was really good and we enjoyed it so much seeing all the different parts of the island. Danny boy was a great tour guide on our way to the trail and was so informative and even had us do his exam at the end of our climb to make sure we were paying attention haha. It was great and he made it so much fun for us.
We have recommended him and your company to guests we have met at the hotel and we would like to thank Danny boy and your company for making our Grand Piton Hike even more special.
Kind Regards and Thanks

Good afternoon Janus
I trust that the weather is still beautiful on the Island of St Lucia. My wife Sally and I had the most tremendous day discovering St Lucia Gros Piton with your driver/ and the arranged guide on Thursday 7th November. Our driver Randall was courteous, patient and knowledgable. He made us feel comfortable and secure. Upon completion of the climb we learnt lots about St Lucia and the Diamond Botanical Gardens, Water Falls and Spa Baths were a real hi light after the gruesome hike.
It was the most memorable day of our holiday. Please re enforce our gratitude to Randall, he is a credit to your organization.
We will not hesitate to recommend Real St Lucia Tours Gros Piton Hike
Kind regards
