Exceptional tour and tour guide - Highly highly recommend his tour and specifically our tour guide named Air Force One. It felt like we saw the entire island. He took us to multiple sites on the high mountains for beautiful views, a couple shopping stops, and ended at Magan‘s Bay for swimming. Our tour guide was very fun and interesting. We had such a blast that my fiancé accidentally left his valuables on the bus. Air Force One found it and tried to contact us when we were already back on the cruise ship. We received his text messages and missed calls too late. Air Force One kindly placed my fiancés valuables, including wallet, phone watch glasses into the mail that Monday morning express and it arrived in our home Tuesday. We are so grateful to the professionalism and prompt assistance from Air Force One. Book this tour today.

Great Experience - My daughter and I had the pleasure of having Air Force One as our tour guide. He was very informative and overall a kind gentleman. He’s an individual who cares deeply about his island and the history. Thank you for allowing my daughter and I to create everlasting memories while in St. Thomas. I highly recommend this tour.

Gorgeous views excellent guide! Megan’s Bay was beautiful! - Ask exactly where to meet because the directions were not clear!! Be on time!
It is a pretty far walk to where everyone meets from the ship.
Our driver “Air Force One” was excellent. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and accommodating.
The shopping was mainly in an area for jewelry. If you stay the Main Street when he drops you off, there are a few souvenir's shops. The best part of the excursion is when we were taken up the hills while given the history of the island etc… and to the top of the mountain to view the extraordinary views of all of the islands. We went to Megan’s Bay from there. It was gorgeous and the water was so warm. It was rainy out and we were still thrilled to be there! Bring towels and beach gear. Bathrooms there.
I would recommend this tour!!

Air Force One is AMAZING! - This was the best tour I’ve been on in a very long time! Our guide, Air Force One, was very knowledgable about the history of the island(and the mainland) and had information about everything we saw. My 9 year old can’t stop talking about the tour or how nice our guide was. I absolutely recommend this tour and our guide 1000%!

Would suggest - Our driver Elvis was great. Called me when he was running a bit behind to keep me aware of the time. Mainly a group taxi service. But it was what we were looking for to see several highlights quickly in one day.

Family Trip - The tour was good would have liked more shopping time but only got an hour for all the shops. Our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable about the area.

Falsely advertised, don’t recommend! - Booking was straightforward. Excursions details win complete; didn’t say where to meet. Had to text for details; long time to get an answer from Sunny Liston Tours. Very disorganized at pickup point. Drivers arrived on time, but took 20 minutes to check the 30-ish passengers while we waited in the sweltering heat and humidity. Viator failed to provide the tour guide with our reservation, so we had to provide my drivers license and proof of booking. I was hesitant to provide that personal document, but was told to provide it or else I could not join the excursion.
The excursion was advertised as writing in an air-conditioned vehicle and also advertised as being given refreshments (rum drink). Neither of those was the case as we were in an open air vehicle that seated 20 people and no refreshments were ever offered by the tour guide. The shopping spot that we were taken to was a 1 mile long street with 95% of the shops being jewelry stores. That was ridiculous! The time we were allowed to spend at the beach was awfully inadequate. The driver-tour guide did a decent job. I would not recommend this excursion, nor would I recommend Viator. It was our first and last time to use Viator.

Nobody showed up to pick us up. - They gave me a ticket that said where to be picked up and when (11:30am). We waited there until 12:00 noon and called contact number. He said that our ship got in early and the tour left early! He said they texted me and sent an email. We never received either. So we paid and did not get an excursion. Since we are on. a cruise we can’t contact anyone about this until the cruise is over. Very disappointed.
