Great experience for kids and adults. On the way, driver gave a great overview of the island and added stops based on our interests. Great private tour!
Thank you for choosing our CHIC Premium experience. It is a pleasure to hear that our signature, unhurried pace resonated with both the adults and the younger explorers in your group. Our Maestros (aka Guides) take great pride in navigating beyond the standard transit corridors to provide an expert, narrated introduction to Saint Lucia’s geography. We are thrilled that the flexibility of our micro-format allowed for those spontaneous, curated stops that truly make a journey personal. Seamless. Personal. Unhurried.
The views we passed by and stopped at were amazing! Such a beautiful island! The chocolate making experience was a very nice and fun time and very interesting. We learned a lot about chocolate and it was cool being able to make our own.
We loved hosting you and are thrilled we could share the natural beauty in our island. 🥂 to creating chocolate ‘masterpieces’
Nick was great. Great guy and great learning about St Lucia and its culture. The chocolate factory was fun and educational as well. Highly recommended!
Thanks a bunch! So glad you had a great time with Nick—he really loves showing off what makes St. Lucia special. Happy to hear the chocolate factory hit the sweet spot too!
Stephen was an amazing tour guide, we enjoyed the experience but most of all we were glad we went with this company because of the knowledge and expertise of our driver
Lin, Thank you so much for your kind words! 🌟 At CHIC, I believe that a great experience is only as good as the guide who brings it to life. I am thrilled I was on duly and I made your day so memorable — it’s this level of personal care and expertise that defines my CHIC ethos. Until next time!
Informative and fun chocolate class. The chocolate cologne and perfume smell great! Nice break from beaches and forts.
Thank you. I Loved 🫶 hosting you. Not your typical cruise port day. 😄 💯🙏🏽
This was a very nice tour. The driver was very nice and we learned a great deal from him as we drove to and from the chocolate making experience. I was however surprised that the chocolate making facility was not near Marigot Bay and was almost as far away from our resort as the Hotel Chocolat experience. The chocolate experience itself was good but I believe we would have experienced more of the process from the plants to the chocolate bar at another location.
Thank you for your 4* feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and the insights from our driver. We strive for clarity in our descriptions, which do note the chocolate-making facility is in Canaries. While the "other location" is an additional 40-minute drive, we understand your point about showcasing the full plant-to-bar process and will explore ways to enhance this. Your support means a lot, and we hope to welcome you back for more experiences!
Steven, our tour guide, texted me prior to our arrival to inquire about our interests to ensure we had an epic experience. He answered my questions and provided an overview of the excursion. Once we arrived in St. Lucía, he reached out to me to confirm our room number, pick up time, etc. We learned a great deal about St. Lucia from Steven during our drive to and from Cacoa Sainte Lucie. Our chocolate instructor, Hagar, taught us about cacao beans, the chocolate making process, and different types of chocolate. As a chocolate lover, this was a phenomenal learning experience! Hagar was knowledgeable and fun! Steven allowed us to stop at different shopping locations on the way back to our resort. He helped us cross the street in busy traffic like VIPs during one of our stops. He complied with our countless photoshop requests. I highly recommend this excursion! It was an exceptional epic experience that you must have in St. Lucía!! A Very Happy Traveler, Dionne
Dear Dionne, Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that Steven ensured everything was tailored to your interests and made your day feel special. The chocolate-making experience with Hagar is a real treat, and we’re glad you enjoyed learning the process. We’re happy to know the seamless transportation, shopping stops, and personalized touches made your trip unforgettable. Your commendations will be shared with the team! We look forward to welcoming you back for another fantastic experience! Best regards, Steven & The CHIC Team

Andell our driver arrived promptly as was a very gracious host. We had to use an alternative route which took us on a more scenic view so that was a plus. He was kind enough to make a stop for us at the oldest tree on the island and the nearby church. The chocolate making was an amazing experience. 10/10 would definitely recommend
Thanks so much for your kind words! 😊 We're really happy that Andell made your trip extra special, and that you enjoyed the scenic route and those fun stops at the oldest tree and the church. It’s awesome to hear you loved the chocolate-making experience too! 🍫 We’re thrilled to get a 10/10 from you and can’t wait to welcome you back for more great adventures in Saint Lucia! 🌴
Stephen was amazing, went out of his way to ensure we had a great day. Full of useful knowledge of the island and would highly recommend him and this trip to anyone 😀 The cooler of ice cold drinks was a nice touch on a red hot day, will definitely use Stephen again for our next trip to St Lucia
Thanks for taking the time for this review. We loved having you. Chocolate Making is the ultimate experience.
