Welcome to my profile! I'm Alexis and my mission is to consistently deliver five-star services to all of my guests. I pride myself as the #1 service provider in Dominica's tourism sector since 1995 and I've never fallen short of this goal. The quality of my services is mainly due to the numerous fine training workshops and seminars that I've attended in order to be your undisputed service provider of choice. I have considered the cost involved just to get to Dominica, so I pride myself in making the visitor's experience a memorable one. Having worked as a contracted vehicle and tour operator at Ross University (an American offshore university) for 20 years gave me the opportunity to develop as a true representative of the "Nature Isle", Dominica. I've served clients from all over, hence having the chance to interact with and understand different personalities. Discover Dominica Authority, (DDA), the body responsible for marketing and promotions in Dominica, have entrusted me with the responsibility of transporting, guiding and providing services for their VIPs and officials to the World Creole Music Festival (an annual event that attracts crowds in excess of thirty thousand), Jazz & Creole and other national events. I've been serving at cruise ports, ferry terminals, airports, hotels, guest houses and anywhere on the island, and I'm pleased to report that over the years, many of my guests have returned to Dominica and continued to use my services. I've been received many commendations, and it's mainly due to the memorable experiences and pleasant atmosphere present in every tour of mine. All of my vehicles are in excellent condition, extremely comfortable and air conditioned. A guided tour to the Emerald Pool, Trafalgar Falls, Ti Tou Gorge, Whale Watching, Champaign Beach, Hot springs, Boiling lake, Fresh water lake, The Indian River, Fort Shirley, Morne Bruce, Botanical Gardens, Red Rock, Victoria Falls, just to name a few, MUST be an experience to remember. Remember, anyone can be a tour guide or guide driver but not many can do it like Alexis. I'll give you the desire to come back. -Certified Tour Guide since 2000, with Dominica State College and Discover Dominica Authority -CPR and First aid Certification by Dominica Red Cros, 2005 -20 years of experience being a vehicle and tour operator at Ross University (an American offshore University). Most water places that we will go to have water guides on them, so I will accompany you always but I won't be guiding you myself permanently.

Overview of your Roseau tour

Begin this tour heading North from Roseau to visit the second largest town in the country, the beautiful Portsmouth. The first stop in this town will be in the popular Indian River, which is actually the widest one in Dominica. Not only is it the widest, it's also our contry's most picturesque river, with the huge roots growing at its bank. Just relax while an experienced boatman rows us along. At just 10 minutes from this idilic area, we will dive into our country's history visiting an important landmark: Fort Shirley. This fort is known due to the revolt carried out by the African Slave Soldiers in 1802. Besides learning, you can expect to see some of the most scenic view of Portsmouth, as well as some artifacts that European soldiers used in order to fend off their enemies. After walking up the hill, the Caribbean Sea will open its wide arms to welcome you for a swim at the Purple Turtle Beach. No doubt, some very cold Kubuli (our local beer) will make you adopt Dominica as your destination of choice!
