Not bad Not great

3.00The tour was short but still a good experience at a decent rate. The fact that the driver was able to pick us up and drop us off at our hotel made it worth the costs because we didn’t have to pay extra for a taxi. I would like to have had more than 2 hours at the beach therefore I would not book again but it wasn’t a bad experience.
Stress free and fun

4.00Tour Guide was Informative but it was hard to hear the guide over the PA system on the van. Recommend a better sound system or a Tour Guide, and a Driver.
Great experience!

5.00Such a great experience. Our driver was great and very knowledgeable. We got to see wonderful views of St. Thomas and ended at Magens Bay beach- the prettiest beach we’ve ever been to! Highly recommend.

3.00Guide was very informative but his audio/speaker system on the truck/van was poor and garbled. Meghen beach had limited lounge and umbrellas in only 1 part of the beach walking trail was nice; plenty of iguanas....

St Thomas tour and beach

4.00The tour and beach were wonderful! Such a beautiful island. Magens Bay beach is busy but a great beach for swimming with sea turtles. Mountain top has a great view but was very busy. Transportation was in a typical St Thomas taxi which made the tour guide difficult to hear. Hamblet was a punctual and helpful guide.
Ride to beach with few stops
Jamie S,Mar 29, 2026

4.00The tour was easy to find after getting off ship. It was basically a ride to the beach and few places to take some nice pics. You could not hear what the driver was saying about the area while riding in the open air bus because the intercom on bus was quite faint. We stopped at mountain top and that was ok. A store for souvenirs, you can get a daiquiri, and take pic overlooking Magen’s Bay.
Would Highly Recommend

5.00Hamblet was a fantastic guide! He was patient with our questions and very knowledgeable. Magans Bay was beautiful.
Depends on the driver

1.00This would have been a great experience if we had had a good driver. Our driver, Robert, was arrogant and rude. First, he did not want to pick us up at the time that was previously established by the tour operator. On our way to the cruise ship dock to pick up the other passengers on our tour, he did not point out a single highlight of the island, such as the castles, 99 Steps or Emancipation Park. He instead proceeded to give us a lecture on the importance of communication, of all things. When we arrived at Mountain Top, we were rushed through it with less than 30 minutes to spend there. I had to throw half of my world famous banana daiquiri in the trash because there was no time to finish it before getting back in Robert’s vehicle where a very prominent sign was posted that no food or drink was allowed in the vehicle. Much more time was allotted at Magen’s Bay than in the tour operator’s description, I suspect so that Robert would have time to complete another job. When he arrived to pick us up he proceeded to lecture us that we had better not get any sand in his vehicle. It is an island and we were on the beach, but he did not want sand in the car??? Omg… Lastly, he spent a considerable amount of time during the drive on his phone, loudly talking to an individual regarding repairs and trade in value on another of his vehicles. On the return back to our hotel, he did not speak a single word to either myself or my partner, apparently considering that his job was now done. The island is beautiful and the sights are amazing, if you have the right driver. Robert is not that driver and I would not recommend this tour in the chance that you would be assigned him as the driver.
