It's a curated cultural experience designed entirely around you. Think of it as having your own island insider who plans a day that matches your vibe.

While tours show you sights, this experience immerses you in real island life with a local friend who shares stories, culture, and effortless adventure. Enjoy an authentic lunch or explore the island's nightlife without hitting the town solo.

We only accept three reservations per time slot with a maximum of ten guests total for a relaxed, personal vibe. Larger group? We’ll make it happen.

Easygoing travelers only! If you’re uptight or rigid, this may not be for you. Island time is magic. Come ready to kick back while we handle the details.

Locally owned by a young native Virgin Islander and proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., this family business keeps your experience authentic while supporting other local, family partners across the island.

We just completed the St. Thomas Cultural Experience: Semi-Private, Lunch Included tour. It was absolutely fantastic. The experience was tailored perfectly to our needs, making it personal. Max, our tour guide, was exceptional. He is knowledgeable, personable, and passionate about sharing the island’s culture and history. He took us to the most interesting and scenic spots. His laid-back personality made the day incredibly enjoyable. It was clear that Max truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to ensure their needs are met. One of the highlights of the tour was the included meal. We started a bit late, so we ended up eating at around 5:30 p.m. Max surprised us by suggesting we have our lunch on the beach to take advantage of the beautiful weather. He set up a folding table and chairs, creating a perfect dining experience. We enjoyed a delicious local Caribbean-style meal from the beach while watching the sunset. The combination of the flavorful food and the vibrant, technicolor sunset was spectacular. Since it was the day before Thanksgiving, I couldn’t help but comment that it was the best Thanksgiving meal I’ve ever had! I give this tour a solid 5-star rating. It was the perfect way to experience the culture and beauty of St. Thomas. We couldn’t have chosen a better tour or tour guide.
Great tour of the island....

Max was very kind and professional! Our tour landed on a rainy day but in the end Max still made the most out of it for us to have a great experience, which we did! On top of that he was very accommodating and gave great insightful facts on St. Thomas and its neighboring islands. His wife Rainee also called the day before to confirm our tour and make sure we knew what time we were being picked up. Loved the great communication! Overall, I definitely recommend this tour!

We couldn't have asked for a better tour! Max was very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and a joy as our guide. It was only my husband and I and we had a great time. This is our 1st visit to St. Thomas and we learned a lot about the island. The food was delicious! The island and beaches were breathtaking. We will definitely be back and will be booking again with Max & Rainee! Thanks for everything!

We went on this tour and it was totally awesome. It was me and my gods sister Max showed us around and we had a wonderful time. We ended up booking with them again after our other tour was canceled. And that was the best decision we could have ever made. Was booking with Max again? We had a wonderful tour. It was everything that we could have possibly thought of we got to see all over the island very happy, very, very happy, got some very authentic island food. I know that I will be coming back to St. Thomas again. Bye, and when I do I will be calling Max and his beautiful wife to get the same tour experience.

We enjoyed the local tour with Max who was courteous and timely with pick-up from our ABNB. Learned about the island while stopping for photo opps, food and souvenirs. We also enjoyed eating our lunch by the beach and quick dip in the water before heading back. Great authentic way to experience St. Thomas!

Even though I was the only booked for this particular day, I was surprised it wasn’t cancelled. So I was just Max the tour guide and myself. Max was very knowledgeable and I throughly enjoyed the tour. He gave me time to look in the different shops and always told me to take my time. He took me to all the highlighted spots. Once we reached Brewers Bay Beach, he set up the table and chair so I could enjoy the lunch which was AMAZING and he told me, he would be ready when I was. 10/10!!!
