2.00Not really a tour. Driver just dropped us off at the curb for shopping (no map/directions given, saw other tour guides walking with their shopping tours), no mic in the van - so no historical/island information was given on the entire drive, driver just dropped us off at Viewpoint, didn't get out and explain anything about viewpoint like other tours did, plus we had to wait for other passengers for 25 minutes when it was time to leave. Since this cut into our beach time I asked to have another van come pick them up and drive us to beach- no way! He just did a drop off & pick up at the beach. I would just get a taxi/Uber next time and go on my own since I felt we did do St Thomas on our own anyways.
Airforce is the best tour guide ever!

5.00We had an amazing experience on our St. Thomas tour, and our guide truly made it unforgettable. Airforce One was incredibly friendly, very knowledgeable, and went out of his way to make sure we had the best time. He gave us many recommendations for local spots and activities that we did the next day!! We ended up discovering places we never would have found on our own and truly had a magical time. Everything on the tour felt well-planned but still relaxed. Whenever 2 girls travel together we always keep safety in our mind, and he made us feel very very safe, definitely girl dad vibes:) If you’re looking for someone who knows the area inside and out and genuinely cares about giving you a great experience, Airforce is the man!
Great tour once it finally started

4.00Our tour guide, Air Force One, was awesome. Great passion and perspective. The views, history, and beach were fantastic. Only issue was the meeting place/time. 3 couples on the tour, all had different instructions on when/where to meet.
Great tour

1.00They gave me a ticket that said where to be picked up and when (11:30am). We waited there until 12:00 noon and called contact number. He said that our ship got in early and the tour left early! He said they texted me and sent an email. We never received either. So we paid and did not get an excursion. Since we are on. a cruise we can’t contact anyone about this until the cruise is over. Very disappointed.
Exceptional tour and tour guide

5.00Highly highly recommend his tour and specifically our tour guide named Air Force One. It felt like we saw the entire island. He took us to multiple sites on the high mountains for beautiful views, a couple shopping stops, and ended at Magan‘s Bay for swimming. Our tour guide was very fun and interesting. We had such a blast that my fiancé accidentally left his valuables on the bus. Air Force One found it and tried to contact us when we were already back on the cruise ship. We received his text messages and missed calls too late. Air Force One kindly placed my fiancés valuables, including wallet, phone watch glasses into the mail that Monday morning express and it arrived in our home Tuesday. We are so grateful to the professionalism and prompt assistance from Air Force One. Book this tour today.
Great Experience

5.00My daughter and I had the pleasure of having Air Force One as our tour guide. He was very informative and overall a kind gentleman. He’s an individual who cares deeply about his island and the history. Thank you for allowing my daughter and I to create everlasting memories while in St. Thomas. I highly recommend this tour.
Gorgeous views excellent guide! Megan’s Bay was beautiful!

5.00Ask exactly where to meet because the directions were not clear!! Be on time! It is a pretty far walk to where everyone meets from the ship. Our driver “Air Force One” was excellent. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and accommodating. The shopping was mainly in an area for jewelry. If you stay the Main Street when he drops you off, there are a few souvenir's shops. The best part of the excursion is when we were taken up the hills while given the history of the island etc… and to the top of the mountain to view the extraordinary views of all of the islands. We went to Megan’s Bay from there. It was gorgeous and the water was so warm. It was rainy out and we were still thrilled to be there! Bring towels and beach gear. Bathrooms there. I would recommend this tour!!
