I am Karl, a local guide, born and raised in the beautiful British Virgin Islands where I have lived all my life. Sharing the beauty, history and culture of my home is a passion of mine as I truly believe it is a slice of heaven on Earth. As the son of a local historian I grew up taking in the knowledge of our islands and way of life which continues to change with development. Energetic and adventurous by nature I enjoy exploring our Islands and surrounding waters. I am a licensed tour operator with my own transportation, this by law requires me to undergo annual training by the British Virgin Islands Tourist Board in customer service and hospitality. I also am required to take a physical exam annually. A Potter by heart and trade, myself along with my wife and son operate an experience based pottery studio where I teach pottery making, give demonstrations, sell our work and conduct tours. Through my teaching I have developed my natural empathetic abilities. I am usually quite good at "reading the crowd", picking up on the individual needs of those in the group and adjusting my style and pace to match. I was raised with strong moral values and believe in being honest, polite and courteous. I enjoy creating a bond with my guests and have actually made friends with a few that I keep in touch with from time to time. Funny enough I was actually encouraged by a couple that I once guided to look into ToursByLocals. As a tour guide I understand the need to be flexible and I always strive to give guests the best experience possible as I am not only representing myself but my beloved home as well. If you are curious about exploring the British Virgin Islands I would be more than delighted to guide you through this slice of heaven that I call home. Licensed Tour Operator in The British Virgin Islands BVI Tourist Board Gold Seal Training recipient Small business development course at local community collage HLSCC I am based on Tortola which is the largest island in our archipelago. I do not operate my own sea worthy vessel if you wish to explore any of our sister islands I can arrange a ferry or charter to accommodate this.

Overview of your Tortola tour
Get hands on, up close and personal with a Virgin Islands culinary cultural process. The traditional "brick oven" is a culinary bridge to our past that produces a taste like no other. Ms. Smith, a born Virgin Islander is well seasoned in the craft of baking and is proudly caring on an almost lost tradition of using the outdoor brick oven. Participate in the preparation of a variety of breads and traditional pastries such as "Tart", learn how the oven is prepared and loaded, then of course partake in the delicious outcome! This is truly a cultural experience that will not disappoint. Your tummy will thank you!
