Taxi Recommendation for St Vincent

Taxi Recommendation for St Vincent - 10/28/2012 04:08 AM

We need the use of good driver a few times on December 9th and then 10th.

There are 10 of us that need to get from the airport to our hotel, and then run us all over the place while we provision food/wine/whatever (Sunday if open, otherwise Monday morning) and then to our boat on Monday.

Might need 2 vehicles?

Rich;

Your charter company can arrange that. They have a list of reliable drivers that they use exclusively and they provide excellent service.

Barefoot always set us up with Phyllis Taxi - she met us at the airport. If LIAT was late, she knew and adjusted accordingly. If we did not make our BGI connection, she knew, and found out when our re-booking arrived. She never missed --- service I wish I could receive back home!!!

I would highly recommend Phyllis Taxi - we used her nephew Antonio Hayes (Kishorn), and he was the best! Get in touch with Seth @ Barefoot, we asked specifically for him for our time there, and they arranged it for us. You can read about our trip here:

Grenadines Sailing

If you want to do it yourself, you can reach him at tattoo_ah@hotmail.com, or antonio.haynes.560@facebook.com, or locally at 784-532-1554.

They have several vehicles, so I am sure it won't be a problem to arrange multiple trips to various locations. Very flexible and fun!

And Kishorn packs a mean grocery bag!

As Robby and Dawn have stated Phyllis and crew hands down and thumbs up. If you’re really lucky, as we have been in the past Kishorn will be your driver. Ask him to take the long way to your charter base and he’ll show you things about St. Vincent that will make you want to come back. Speaking about back, Kishorn always has yours. He’ll step in if some local wants to take advantage of a tourist on his fare.

Enjoy, Enjoy this fantastic area. It’s what the BVI’s was many years ago. The locals for the most part are extremely accommodating. I’ve seen the trend to try to commercialize this area with limited success.

We used Kishorn also, Phyllis is right on top of everything. And - Kishorn what a great guy. My brother's heart medication was in a lost backpack. At 11:00 pm Kishorn shows up on the dock with the lost backpack to cheers all around. This guy goes the EXTRA mile for his customers. You cannot go wrong using Phyllis and crew.
