The Experience

Deshaies is the real name of the fictional town of Honoré, and this tour starts by driving you to Fort Royal, the seaside resort where the production crew and actors lived during filming. You'll see the bungalow where a murder scene from series 12 was shot and the beach bar where the crew spent their downtime. From there, the route takes you to La Perle Beach to find the Inspector's Beach Shack location, then up to Point De Vue De Gadet for the view across Grande Anse Beach — the longest beach in Guadeloupe and one that appears on screen. The guide has worked close to the show environment for years, so the facts about how scenes were filmed and where the cast stayed come from someone who was there.

The heart of the tour is a walk through Deshaies itself, where you'll stand in front of the police station and the church next door, both recognizable from the show. Catherine's Bar (called Le Madras in real life) is a stop where you can order a drink if it's open. After the town, the route climbs into the green hills where the actors' villas sit among sugar cane crops — these are the hidden spots most tourists never see. The tour ends at a local beach restaurant that actors visit when they're not filming, where you can swim in the water you've seen on screen, eat local snacks, or just sit with a drink before heading back.

The whole experience runs 4 hours in the Deshaies area. If you book the option with pickup and drop-off from your hotel, add about 90 minutes of driving time depending on where you're staying. The vehicle is air-conditioned, and the guide speaks English throughout. This tour is built for fans who want to see not just the famous spots but the places that usually stay hidden from the camera.

Is this one for you?Choose the pickup and drop-off option if your hotel is outside Deshaies and you want the drive time handled; choose the meeting point option if you're already in Deshaies and prefer to start the tour there. Either way, you get a guide who was close to the production itself, not a general tour operator.
