Hello there! I’m Tikenti, though most people call me “Tee.” I’m a certified, professional tour guide with a deep love for nature, walking adventures, history, and the British Virgin Islands, which I now proudly call home. I specialize in immersive city-focused tours on Tortola that combine short drives with thoughtfully paced walking stops, allowing guests to explore comfortably while connecting deeply with the island’s story. I am certified through recognized Customer Service Excellence and training institutions, including LemonEight, Aquila, the BVI Tourism Board, the Taxi and Livery Commission, and the Disney Training Institute. I am also BVI Red Cross–certified in First Aid and CPR, with basic lifeguard skills, ensuring every experience is both engaging and safe. I take pride in offering professional, upscale service while maintaining a warm and welcoming approach. With a degree in Biology and over a decade of experience leading guest excursions and tours, I bring a unique blend of scientific insight, cultural appreciation, and storytelling to every experience. My tours are primarily based on Tortola, with select experiences extending to Virgin Gorda, and each one is designed as a journey through time and place, blending history, nature, personal insight, and local perspective. While city tours remain my primary focus, I also enjoy expanding beyond the city when guests want a broader view, connecting urban spaces to the island’s wider cultural landscape and natural environment. I have created distinctive walking tours and city explorations that highlight Tortola’s landscapes, hidden corners, and rich cultural history in a way that feels immersive and personal. Every tour is tailored with the guest in mind, whether you’re energetic or relaxed, fast-paced or leisurely, adventurous or reflective. My goal is simple: to ensure every guest leaves with an unforgettable, insightful, and meaningful experience of Tortola and its sister islands.
