5.00We had a fantastic day with Jesse. A very knowledgeable tour guide (profound knowledge of the island's history, geography, and culture) and safe driver. Provided us with valuable tips. Great sense of humor.
Disappointing

1.00Signed up for 9 AM tour to last. Between 5 and 6 hours.. only 4 passengers, so they took us 5 minutes by van to local,cheese and liquor shop and told us to wait until 10:10 for van with 3 more passengers. First stop was a disgusting small, dirty supermarket. Then stops at restaurant at beach for over an hour, a stop at a flea market in French capital, another beach stop and a rum distillery stop. Driver guide was nice but hard to understand and narrative was not interesting about the island. The worst part was the rough roads and heavy traffic. Then it looked like we might take7 hours and may be late to board our ship and I needed to get back to take needed medicine. In total we got bounced around in the van for,hours. The van was nice but the roads and traffic sucked. The driver was very good and made arrangements to skip the last stop for us and we got back to the ship in time and to take needed medicine. Can’t believe the tour had such good reviews.
Great way to see St. Maarten but traffic had an impact

4.00These all in one tours are a great way to see a lot in a short period of time. For us, this time was too short to really enjoy the full tour. There was heavy traffic into Marigot and getting to Maho Beach. The tour was done in reverse order to what was shown in the original itinerary and that may have been detrimental. The idea was good and our guide was knowledgeable but the net result was each stop was a rush. Maho Beach in the afternoon was a gong show. I feel like if the tour were to have been 6 hours instead of 5 that it would have been a much better experience.
Great Island Experince

5.00Amazing tour on both sides of the island. Our guide, Rollin, was engaged through the entire day and gave insight into the real lives of the people in the area. It was amazing to hear how different life is on the Dutch vs French sides and still be able to see the differences in how the towns and cities were developed.
Had a great time!...

5.00We were a group of 5 and Angel was our tour guide - he owned his own beautiful van and guided us all over the island. He is an amazing young man. I'm so proud to know him and what he is doing with his life. What an outstanding young man! I can't say that enough!
Could have been better.

3.00It was a lot time driving and less time at locations. We would have liked more time at Marigot and less time at Orient Beach because it was raining on and off. The driver repeated himself way more than necessary. It seemed like he talking just to talk.
