We had a great time... - We had a great time during the tour. Our guide Dennis was very good. He told us a lot of the history of the places we visited, kept the tour on schedule, and got us all back on time. He recommended a great place for lunch. We had some of the island's food and enjoyed it very much.

Language Saving Driver!!!! - Very good tours..chauffeur (I don't know the name) was excellent. I hired that tour in English because there was no Spanish so I was already knowing that I would not understand anything butooo...there was the driver, who called him for that day..who saved me and explained everything we were seeing while the other guide spoke in English!! Very nice everything, very friendly and responsible! I recommend it a lot!!!! A genius the wild card driver!!!

Perfect Island Overview - This was exactly what we were looking for. Jamal took us all over the island in a loop, stopping at several picture spots, some shopping, lunch, etc. We had plenty of time at the spots, and he gave us lots of background and history on the island. He also added in a few stops as people requested (someone wanted a pharmacy) and still got us back to the ship in plenty of time!

Tour of St Maartin - The tour would have been more fulfilling for me if the guide had talked more about the island's history than its current poverty and his personal life.

Speedy tour of St Maarten - St. Maarten was the first port of call on our cruise, and we were looking for a tour that would allow us to maximize the things we saw in a short amount of time. This tour definitely accomplished that, although the pacing was a bit rough from the get go. If you prefer being driven around to different sights for photo opportunities, this is likely the tour for you. If you prefer a more in-depth/fully fledged experience, look elsewhere. While the guide was great overall, there was a bit too much focus placed on “keeping to the schedule” at each stop, and we consistently noticed that “45 minutes” really meant “preferably sooner than 45 minutes”, etc. This constant push also meant that we didn’t really learn much beyond that which was shared with us in the van. Realistically, the guide was more of a driver and less of a guide, notably so anytime we left the vehicle. Easy example - the rum distillery was full of groups watching the process of production and/or being led through the samples and provided with info. Our group was basically just offloaded and given the chance to buy some things from the shop. I’d recommend this tour, but not without question.

St. Maarten Tour - Our tour started out with a bit of confusion arrived at the EDC area 15 minutes before the tour, but the Security Guards didn’t seem to know about Presidential Tours. Once on the tour, Jamel gave us a good tour of the island, narrating & stopping at all the important places for photos & shopping.
