Best guide ever! - Jesse was a wonderful tour guide. He explained all the sights very well. He accommodated our requests to alter the schedule when all the group members were in agreement. He’s also just plain personable. In fact, everyone from the moment we arrived at your booth was very nice.

Must book trip - Had a fabulous day on this tour , Our guide Jessie was brilliant, took us to many places and lots time for pictures and refreshments. We ended up at Maho beach where we had a great time, No rush and he was good fun and really knowledgeable about the places we visited , Definitely recommend a trip with these guys

Loved St Marten, would return - Our driver Jesse was fantastic, so knowledgeable about everything and happy to stop for photos! It was a bit chaotic at the port as so many people booked on so many trips but all got sorted. Disappointed with Maho beach as standing room only, not really a beach.

Best Tour! - I had an amazing experience on the island tour in Saint Martin! From start to finish, everything was well organized and enjoyable. Eddy was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting facts about the island’s history, culture, and hidden gems. We visited beautiful beaches, scenic viewpoints, and charming local. The views were absolutely stunning, and there was plenty of time to take photos and enjoy each stop. The tour was relaxing, fun, and a perfect way to see the best of the island in a short time. I would highly recommend this island tour to anyone visiting Saint Martin, this was truly a highlight of my trip!

Cannot thank our tour... - Cannot thank our tour guide “Cutty” enough, for showing us the beautiful island of St Maarten. The ride to the beach was comfortable and Cutty provided interesting facts of the island… Sunset Bar and Grill was great for lunch as it sits on Maho Beach…. Try to find out the flight schedules for the airport, if you can, as the planes do not fly continuously in and out!! You may be waiting!! Nonetheless, the beach was great as well as the tour!

Christmas Day tour - The meeting place was not labeled well, but after asking security, we found it. Check in was easy, waited a few minutes until boarding transportation. Eddie and Jamal were pleasant, gave us many facts during the drive around the island. Stop at Maho Beach was too short. Could have done without the rum tasting stop. Food at affiliated restaurant in Marigot was good and the convenience of preordering before arrival was helpful. Guavaberry colada was good there. The small samples of rum punch were tasty. Also offered water, soda and beer.

We didn't get the Maho... - We didn't get the Maho Beach Experience that we booked because we were told that we were the only ones booked for that particular excursion and they put us on a different one. We did NOT enjoy a bus ride around the island (we had already seen the island) on a crowded bus, especially after we booked a beach excursion. We had no warning and were not told until time to board the bus nor were we given time to look over the alternate excursion and decide if we wanted to go. If we had known what it was we would not have chosen that experience. It ruined our day on the gorgeous St. Maarten. We have used Viator many times and have always been very happy but this time was a miss.

We purchased this tour... - We purchased this tour based on the itinerary that stated we would make a couple of quick stops but spend most of the allotted time (3 hours) at Maho Beach. When we got to the first stop of the tour, we were told we were getting an “upgrade” and were going to make several stops before ending the day at Maho Beach. We expressed our disappointment to our guide, who called the tour manager, but we were told nothing could be done to get us to Maho Beach any earlier. We booked this tour specifically so that we would have lots of time at Maho Beach. We did see some beautiful spots along the way, but we ended up only having an hour at Maho Beach. Also, the tour lasted considerably longer than we had planned. We actually were very concerned we would not make it back to our ship on time. If we had booked the longer, more extensive tour, I would give it a high rating. We saw some beautiful places! The fact that we were not able to spend much time at Maho Beach was very disappointing since that was why we booked the tour. I would not book this tour again.

Frustrated travelers - We very much enjoyed Maho beach but the problem was, once we were on the van, they told us they had “upgraded” (their words) us and took us to 5 other stops without our permission. We only got to actually spend 1 hour at the beach we paid for. This was very frustrating and disappointing! Due to the dishonesty, I would not recommend this company.
