Tour itineraries

If you don't like shopping and want to maximize sightseeing, make sure that a tour doesn't devote appreciable time to visiting tourist-oriented stores. Many do.


Town vs. beyond-the-town tours

In Europe, all cities are unique. Not so in the Caribbean. In many Caribbean ports of call, the tourist centers have a similar look and feel. I recommend taking tours to the attractions that are unique to the island. For instance, Dunn's River Falls in Jamaica. You can explore the town on your own after the tour.
