Finding a good driver in a new country is always a gamble. After working with 5 different ones during our stay on Saint Lucia, I can easily recommend Everton as the best.
Our resort, Calabash Cove (which I also recommend) introduced us to him, so that gave us a good starting point. Once in his vehicle, he combines his experience in the hospitality industry with a professionalism I found lacking in the other drivers we encountered. He had a wealth of knowledge about various aspects of the island, and the conversation was easy and pleasant. He was as interested in us as we were in his background.
Our tour was relaxed, not regimented. He allowed us to pick and choose what interested us, and we skipped a few things that really weren’t what we wanted to do.
As we drove, I noticed he wasn’t riding the bumper of the car in front of him which I really appreciated. The safety of his passengers was important to him. His vehicle is maintained and is in excellent condition. I think he keeps it that was by knowing where all the potholes are, and he manages to easily dodge them.
He stopped at a number of locations where we were able to get photos with a great view. He was also very willing to take your photo which allows you to focus on being in the moment.
We appreciated the air conditioner which didn’t seem to be standard among local drivers.
One nice thing about having Everton drive us around was his passion for music. I actually added a few new artists to my playlists based on the music he had playing on the ride.
We were so pleased with our tour that we asked if he could take us to the airport when we left. When he picked us up, it was like seeing an old friend. He used his knowledge of the island to get us around a traffic jam and still managed to show us some new sites on the way out of Saint Lucia.
Bottom line, if you are looking for good customer service and personality, you will not be disappointed in utilizing Everton’s service.
