myTobago – your questions, review and comment about Tobago

Well basicly soon time to fly to tobago "3weeks to go =)"

When i travel i always use my bankcard and take out money from the atm and its as easy as it can get.


But atm the us dollar is dropping very much to my swedish kroner. While im not sure at all if the swe kr is have anny change what so ever to the TT dollar. "annyone know something about that, plz give me some info =)".


Also is the TT dollar rising towards the US dollar, Or are u around the same. Becouse if the TTdollar vs Us dollar stays. Will make it for me alot cheaper to pay tour guides "me look towards alibaba and king dave" wich can be payed in Us dollar.

So my question really - is it worth buying some US dollars before traveling "offcurse i will get TT dollar when i arrive in tobago," But a tour guide can get like 10euro cheaper for me per person if payed in US dollar..

Thx in advance =)

Hi Mikael

The TT Dollar is pegged to the US Dollar at US$1=TT$6.25050 but be warned that many shops/restaurants convert at US$1=TT$6.00 or even less in some cases.

Yeah Steve paying with another currency in resturants and such are not a smart ide, what ever country u in this days i think atleast.

Just the tours who caught my intrest as it might been a big save for my wallet. Wich means more crabi and ciggars


"yeah seen on the picture site how they role their own ciggars,, where is this picture taken/ Where is the shop for this!"

Hi Mikael

The cigars are hand-made by a Cuban guy employed by the owners of La Terrazza restaurant, now located at the Tobago Plantations Golf Club. They are called 'Tavaco' - which means Tobacco and was the original name for the island of Tobago.
