Ricky's Island Tours & Minibus Service Ltd.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding our tour. Your group will see the entire Island and during the tour I will give you a detailed explanation of the various sites, the history of Bermuda and our long-term relationship with the United States. At your request, I will take pictures of your group at the various stops along the route (with your camera, at no additional expense).
The tour starts in The Royal Naval Dockyard.

We will then proceed to the Heydon Trust Chapel to see a building which dates back to 1616. The building was converted to a chapel in 1943.

Next is the Fort Scaur Park where you will see fantastic vistas of the Island and will have the opportunity to take group pictures with the vistas as a backdrop.

Next stop is the Somerset Bridge - the smallest drawbridge in the world. Help feed the fish and afterwards you can stand on the bridge while I take pictures of your group with your camera.

We will proceed along the North side of the Island into Hamilton where you will have 30mins to walk about the Front Street. After your window shopping, we will proceed to the Bermuda Aquarium where I have a fun surprise for your group.

Next we drive into St. Georges, the former capital of Bermuda, where the original settlers were arrived. Your group will have up to 45 mins in the old town. You can visit St. Peter's Church - the oldest Anglican Church in the Western Hemisphere! Hopefully we will arrive in time to see the reenactment of the ducking stool (the contrary wife is played by an elected Member of Parliament!).

We will then start our return to Kings Wharf along the South Shore. You will get to see Tuckers Town where our very affluent residents live. Also you will see the various beautiful beaches along the route.

If you wish we can incorporate a visit to the Crystal Caves during the lunch break. This will negate the need to take a separate excursion which can cost you as much as $ 99 per person through the Cruise Line. This option is available only if there are not long lines at the Caves and usually there is only sufficient time to visit one cave.

During our drive along the South Road you will get to see a few of our famous Pink Sand beaches. The last stop is the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse where you will end your tour with more fantastic vistas of our Island. If you wish, your group can climb to the top of the Lighthouse to enjoy beautiful views of the Island. We will then proceed back to the ship.

Although I have mentioned specific stops for pictures, your group can take pictures throughout the tour.

We can also stop for lunch during the tour (not included in the price of the tour) after our stop in the Town of St. Georges. If you want to sit down for lunch I recommend the Swizzle Inn which is famous for the two most popular drinks on the Island – the world famous Dark & Stormy drink and the Bermuda Rum Swizzle. Lunch is a one hour stop.
Throughout the tour we will discuss the close historical relationship between Bermuda and the USA. Do you know which major sport was introduced to the USA by Bermuda?

This is an extensive and informative tour of the Island. It last for 6 hours and I can assure you that the time will pass very quickly. At times I may have to bypass certain stops to ensure that we arrive on time for other events such as the ‘Ducking Stool’ reenactment or to return to the ship on time.
The cost is $ 65 per person. If there are less than 7 people on the bus the rate is $ 75 per hour (not $ 75 per person, per hour). Please note the $ 75 per hour is not applicable to private tours. It is only applicable if I am unable to book more than 6 people for a tour. The $ 75 per hour will not apply if the total participants on tour exceed 7 people. These are the government established rates. To take advantage of the $ 65 per person rate, please feel free to reach out to fellow cruisers. Most are using Cruise Critic ‘Roll Call’ to recruit additional participants. As you may know, CC does not allow operators, like us to advertise in any way on their site. If you do recruit additional people for the tour while on the ship, please contact me prior to disembarkation (at least 24 hours prior) to determine if space is available for the people you have recruited.
My bus has 14 passenger seats. Please note that if your group is less than 14 you will very likely be joined by others on the tour unless you request a private tour. Clients must provide their own child seats. Any child that occupies a seat (including in a child seat) will pay $ 65.
Private Tours:
If you wish to have a private tour the cost is $ 780 for 1 – 12 people; $ 65 for each additional person.
Booking Procedure:
Please be advised we have recently signed on with a booking system called Trekksoft. This will allow you to book your reservations online and pay by credit card. You are required to pay the full fare at the time of booking your reservation. 50% of the fare is non-refundable as expl
