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.

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.

5.00It was very wonderful, informative, relaxing and very well executed day by Max. He was a gentleman and assisted us into and out of the vehicle. Lunch was amazing and the beach was not overcrowded, clean and pleasant.
Excellent private tour!

5.00There was some initial confusion about the meeting location, which caused a brief delay, but it was resolved quickly and professionally. Max then gave us a wonderful private tour, sharing lots of interesting history and insights into the island’s culture. He followed a strict timing schedule, which we really appreciated. Lunch was included and was excellent, with a private table and chairs set up for us on a quiet beach. Having security on the beach made us feel very safe, and snorkeling gear was also provided. Overall, it was a great experience and a very enjoyable private tour.

5.00We 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....

5.00Max 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!

5.00We 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!
