Great Customizable 1/2 day tour of St. Thomas - My daughter and I had a great private tour with Rainey and Max. Max did the driving and Rainey was our guide. They’re very nice and built the tour around what we were interested in. We had done some sightseeing and shopping in Charlotte Amalie a few days earlier, so we got to see some historic buildings there that we hadn’t seen. They also took us to Mountain Top and some nice observation points in the mountains, then to get a takeout lunch, which was included in the price of the tour, from a local cuisine restaurant downtown to take to Brewer’s Beach. They shared interesting information about St. Thomas along the way. They set up chairs and a table for us in the shade at the beach and brought a cooler of waters. We had about 1 and 1/2 hours at the beach to eat, snorkel and look for sea glass, coral and shells, it was a great beach to find all three. I saw a hawksbill turtle in the water while snorkeling! If you don’t rent a car but want to tour around the island while you are there, I highly recommend taking a tour with Rainey and Max!

Perfect Excursion!!!! - Wonderful excursion!! Rainee and Max did an excellent job with this tour! They are two of the nicest people you will ever meet, not to mention fun, friendly, and very knowledgeable about their island. They listened to our areas of interest and did a great job of addressing our interests. Rainee and Max took us to a local restaurant to pick up lunch and then drove us to a beautiful beach and set up tables and chairs for us to enjoy our food in paradise! Many thanks to both Rainee and Max for the wonderful tour!

Excellent St. Thomas Tour - We booked this tour as an excursion while on a Princess Cruise. Note we booked it through Viator directly, not the cruise line. Max was our tour guide. It was just my wife and I so it was private. The difference between a private tour and a tour bus is huge. We’ll take private every time. And Max did not disappoint. He is professional, knowledgeable, patient and flexible with his tour. The Mountain Top visit to sip on world famous banana daiquiri’s and lunch on the beach, Max set up table and chairs for us and brought along snorkeling gear was epic. Highly, highly recommend this tour.

The reviews do not lie,... - The reviews do not lie, max is awesome. I did the night tour as a surprise to my boyfriend whose birthday was the same night as the excursion. Max took us to a few spots that ended up being perfect for my boyfriends birthday because we ended up doing everything he loves ( gambling, drinking, vibing and sight seeing) I would definitely recommend this excursion

Kid-Friendly - We had a great time with Max. He showed us all of the islands staples, answered all of our questions, showed us spectacular views, treated us to a delicious lunch, and wrapped it up with a great afternoon at the beach.

Excellent - It 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! - There 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.

Definitely recommend - Transportation was clean and very comfortable. Max was extremely accommodating and helpful. We really enjoyed our tour. We would have liked more information about the area, perhaps just a bit more history and maybe a few more stops. It would have saved some stress if the meeting location had been communicated with directions and a map well in advance, but we were able to work that out. Definitely a friendly, comfortable, and custom way to tour the island!

Left In the Rain - The tour started out good. We saw some great views and then picked up lunch and were taken to the beach across from the airport to eat and swim, snorkel, etc. We finished lunch and it started to rain. We gathered the chairs and tables and walked up to the road. We could not find our guide, Max. By now it was pouring the rain down. We called Max and proceeded to stand in the heavy rain and waited another thirty minutes for Max to arrive. We understand you cannot control the weather, but if you tell us you will be right across the road if we need anything, you should be there. We were so soaked we went straight back to the cruise port to get a hot shower and dry clothes. A bit disappointed and underwhelmed.
