Great beaches and fun experience. The driver was good and recommended a great place for lunch! We did not have any time for shopping

A fun ride around St. Maarten visiting both the Dutch and French sides. The two extended beach stops and one shopping/lunch stop gave plenty of time to explore and enjoy. If the weather is good, be sure to bring a bathing suit. Our driver was a very friendly guy but was very hard to understand and the audio system wasn't very good. The "tour" portion of the trip was light on history/culture/island life and included things like "there's the Dominos, bank, casino, etc." Good value for the price.

This was NOT our guide's (George's) fault. I read the itinerary and this ride was just that, a ride. I dont need to have gas stations pointed out to me or signs of an enclosed community. We missed even going to the Fort or seeing/doing the steps, sad. Then, we stopped to check out the airplanes for 1 hour. Ummm, told a time to return and 4 people decided it was "ship" time, not the country's time. So... we spent an extra HOUR waiting for 4 people to return late, which made us miss another sight/pitstop as we rushed back to arrive 15minutes b4 final boarding of our cruise ship. Yep, we raced past all shops. No an enjoyable experience. 3 hours of riding in a vehicle with lower than eye height windows, +waiting i van another hour for those who decided to show up late. George kept his cool, 3-4 others, me included, were frustrated or praying to be able to get across island in time for ship's departure.

Ricardo was our driver and we had a van with approx 20 people. The itinerary was very flexible as we were able to vote to skip certain stops or go to different ones. Ricardo took us to a secluded quiet beach once we saw how crowded and windy Orient beach was. We also skipped the shopping stop in exchange for more time at Maho beach because that's what the group preferred. That said, if you wanted a certain itinerary but the majority of people voted to change it, then you might be disappointed. Drinks were included on the tour, but we didn't have much opportunity to buy food. We basically drove around the entire island, both French and Dutch side. I recommend this tour.

Met at the cruise terminal at the EDC parking lot by Stephen and taken for what felt like a whole island tour. As there was only 5 in our party we could decide when and where to go. Would recommend this tour to anyone else!

We enjoyed this trip to see the highlights of the island, and our guide was very informative. We visited Orient Beach and also spent some time at Maho Beach. The planes overhead are pretty impressive!

I’m sharing this so others—especially Black travelers—are fully informed before spending money on this tour. My family experienced poor communication from the start, including unanswered calls and mixed messages around pickup timing from our cruise ship. Despite explaining that we were rushing, the tour left us. When we eventually joined the group, the driver publicly blamed us for the delay. A bus full of white passengers booed us, laughed, and made comments questioning our intelligence and responsibility. As a Black man, that experience was degrading, hostile, and deeply unsettling. The tour guide did nothing to intervene or correct the narrative. The rest of the tour felt rushed, poorly planned, and uncomfortable. The advertised attractions were not worth the treatment we had to endure. I regret not taking the refund immediately. This experience changed how I felt about Saint Maarten, and I would urge others to think carefully—especially travelers of color.

The guide was very helpful and knowledgeable..when we left the start point we were comfortable..at our first stop they added 6 guest which squeezed in our van and they were literally leaning on my family and I....a very uncomfortable ride..

This is a very reputable operator, my ship came in late and they tried to find another tour that would accommodate us.

Ricardo was a great driver/guide. He was very friendly, easy going and informative. I have to agree with another review that his accent was a bit strong and he was hard to understand at times, but that’s not his fault. This tour gave a quick view of the hot spots around the island and my family enjoyed it all. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because, in our opinion, we could have spent less time at Orient and more in Marigot. There was so much to see and we felt rushed. Maho beach was ok to see a few planes but it was super crowded and not comfortable that day. We were happy to return to our resort. Overall it gives you a great overview of the island and I’d love to come back to explore the French side during another vacation time.
