The Southwest Tour

From Fort de France or your hotel (an additional charge may apply), we'll head to Martinique's verdant southwest, taking in spectacular coastal roads, sugar cane fields, picturesque fishing villages and many photogenic landscapes.

We stop to taste the award-winning Trois Rivières rum, then the fruit and souvenir market of Le Diamant (except on Mondays). Continuing along the coast, we stop at the CAP 110 Memorial, erected in memory of the sinking of a slave ship in the 19th century, immortalized by a moving sculpture composed of 15 white statues to remember the human loss that was the price of centuries of slave trade. Next stop to admire the spectacular Diamond Rock from the coast, theater of naval battles and sanctuary of various migratory species. Then we arrive at Anse d'Arlet, a quiet village that has won a prize for being one of the most loved by French tourists, with an 18th century church where, a few steps from the town's splendid beach, we can admire dozens of colorful tropical fish thanks to the masks we have on board.

We continue along the coast and pass by Trois Ilets, the birthplace of Josephine de Beauharnais, who left this beautiful island to become the wife of Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress of France. On the way back to Fort de France, we visit the old Pottery factory, where we can admire (and buy) the products of small skilled local craftsmen.

Who am I ?

Born in Milan, Italy, I have traveled throughout Europe and beyond since my childhood.


A jazz musician for many years, I became a restaurateur in the 1980s in Germany. My attention
to my customers and close relationships with the producers of the best products earned my
restaurant a Michelin star, a commitment I maintain today in my tourism business.


After visiting almost all the islands of the Lesser Antilles by boat, I first settled on the island of
St. Lucia in 2000 and since 2013, I have been living on the island of Martinique, a French
department and a crossroads of history, cultures, cuisine and music. The nature here is
spectacular, with breathtaking beaches, pristine rainforest and lush countryside rich with banana
plantations, sugar cane and other natural wonders offered by the climate. In my Vito Mercedes
minibus, I will take you to the most famous places, but also to those I discovered off the beaten
track.


Expect a day full of spectacular and exciting landscapes, sun, rain, sea, colorful markets, rum
tastings, forest walks but also historical, cultural and why not, philosophical reflections ! I can’t
wait to see you !

Fantastic guide!

Rated 5 out of 5
February 20, 2023

Sebastiano is in my opinion the best guide in the Caribbean. His vast knowledge makes every thing and every place come alive, from nature and buildings, past and present. His thorough preparation even included exploring for a specific site i wanted to visit, just to be able to take me there – a definite highlight. His attention to details like bringing local guava pastry and guava juice was really appreciated. His enthusiasm and passion for Martinique is contagious and will stay with me forever. A marvellous day – Sebastiano is second to none. I hope to be back!

Wunderschöner Ausklang unserer Transatlantikreise

Rated 5 out of 5
December 6, 2022

Die letzte Station unserer Transatlantikreise war die Insel Martinique. Wir haben an diesem Tag noch eine wunderschöne Tour mit Sebastiano durch den Nordwesten der Insel gemacht. Wir haben tolle Natur entdecken dürfen mit Wasserfall, botanischem Garten und Regenwald, die Kirche Sacré Coeur de Balata, die Rum-Destillerie Depaz mit Verkostung und die ehemalige Hauptstadt St. Pierre, die durch einen Vulkanausbruch 1902 komplett zerstört wurde. Sebastiano hat uns so viel über die Insel erzählt, er ist ein toller Reiseleiter! Er hat uns dann nach einem tollen Tag wieder pünktlich zum Schiff zurückgebracht, bevor es mit dem Transfer zum Flughafen ging und wir dann abends nach Hause zurückgeflogen sind. Sogar unsere Postkarten hat er am nächsten Tag dann auch noch frankiert und eingeworfen. Vielen Dank nochmal Sebastiano!
Wir kommen bestimmt mal wieder.

Sebastiano was very knowledgeable of the area. He was amazingly resourceful and very helpful with everything we wanted to see. He has a great work around to beat traffic and still make the tour on time. He is very lovely to work with.

Der schönste Tag der Kreuzfahrt

Eine Transatlantik-Kreuzfahrt brachte meine Frau und mich zum ersten Mal nach Martinique, und Sebastiano machte diesen Tag zum schönsten während der Kreuzfahrt. Er weiß unheimlich viel über Martinique und die ganze Karibik und bringt so viele Informationen auf freundliche, persönliche und unaufdringliche Art näher. Wir waren mit ihm im Süden und fanden nach immergrünen Landschaften und pittoresken Dörfern noch Zeit für einen Besuch am herrlichen Strand. Das nächste mal fahren wir in den Norden!

Meine Freundin und ich haben auf eigene Faust eine Reise über Guadeloupe und Dominica nach Martinique gemacht und hatten mit Sebastiano die mit Abstand schönste geführte Tour während unseres Trips, was zum einen an den Sehenswürdigkeiten, vor allem aber an Sebastiano selbst lag, der sehr freundlich und unterhaltsam gewesen ist.

Full day tour to the North

Rated 5 out of 5
August 11, 2022

We did a full day tour to the North of Martinique with Sebastiano and it was an amazing experience. We left at 9 am at our residence and were dropped directly at the airport by 5 pm. Sebastiano is extremely well informed about the island’s history and background and eloquently and tirelessly explained all details about Martinique. We visited the volcano, the capital, the old city of St. Pierre, a rhum distillery, the waterfalls, the rainforest and so much more. The tour ended at the famous restaurant “Petibonum” with a sun downer lunch and we loved it. Excellent service for a good price, comfortable ride in a great bus and most importantly a guide who knows how to make you feel good and appreciates his clients. Thank you so much for everything, a wonderful end for our first Caribbean family holiday.

Pick up was just as explained right at the ferry terminal. Sebastiano was there waiting for us with a sign with my name as soon as we exited the building. We booked last minute and they accommodated us no problem.
In our group there were a total of 6 of us. My self, my wife, her grand mother our 1 year old daughter and a lovey couple from Brazil.
The vehicle; a 7 passenger Mercedes minivan was more than spacious enough to accomodate everyone with plenty of room to spare. The vehicle was very clean both inside and out. Tires were in tip top shape and they were able to source a carseat for us even though we booked last minute. They even brought a booster seat just incase
The tour. Amazing and thorough. Sebastiano in great detail went through all the details with us and showed us really as much as he could duing this tour. Even having to let traffic pass in some instances to show us something interesting. We went to a beatiful church with an amazing view overlooking the city and the south of the island. Took a drive through the prestine forest stopping at a beautiful river where we could purchase fresh coconuts from an extremely friendly (without being pushy in any way whatsoever) local vendor. Then we stopped at an amazing waterfall where we all had plenty of time to take a dip and photos. Then he took us to an amazing garden. This garden was not Jardin De Balata where most of the other tour buses go to. It was an amazing garden and interprtation center with a beautiful 15 minute forest trail. The interpretation center covered everything from the formation of Martinique with vivid infographics showcasing each stage of volcanic development of the island. To a plethora of the plants and animals found on the island. Really amazing illustrationas of Martinique all over, with a lovely play which brings the forest to life. Something we were really not expecting. The Garden itself had many amazing tropical flowers, a fountain, fish pond with prawn (cray fish) a spice and flower garden with many different tropical seasonings and spices.. i can go on and on.
Then we went to the Depaz rum distillery and toured its grounds. We visited old style plantation house which was one fo the highlights for me not because of the rum we got to sample but because we got a close glimps of a flock of parrots which Sebastiano says is not common. Being a bird nut this was probably the most exciting part of the tour for me haha!
Our next stop was in the town of St. Pierre which was destroyed by the volcano. We stopped at this old church where some of the remains from the destuction is still visible and Sebastiano showed us the power of that eruption through what remains.
The last stop was at the beach which we all decided to forgo for the sole reason of us all being satisfied with a truly amazing day!
Thank you so much Sebastiano. You really went out of your way to show us an amazing time in Martinique and i can’t wait to come back to tour the south of the island with you.
