Awesome tour! - It was a great experience! We were picked up at our resort. Nice! Had to wait for the other folks coming from the cruise ship. Some shopping at Charlotte Amalie, history re the island from our guide, went to Mtn Top for more shopping and great views of the island, and then 2 hours at Magens Beach! Excellent tour! Our guide Air Force one did a great job!

St Thomas Tour - Mr. Air Force One was an amazing tour guide. I learned so much from him about the US Virgin Islands and it's history. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that I know that will be visiting this area.

Much Better Than a Cruise Line Tour - I was glad to have booked this directly with Trip Advisor instead of with the cruise line. It was a nice small group, we picked how long we wanted to stay at each stop, and we had a great driver, "Air Force One". He was well versed in the history of the island and interesting facts. I would recommend this tour for a great way to see the island and get to the beach for some swimming time as well.

Shopping, sightseeing, beach tour had alittle bit of everything. - We did the shopping, sightseeing, beach tour. Easy to find the tour meeting spot getting off cruise, however no sign (just ask). We checked in first, which was great, but then sat in hot sun for over an hour waiting for people. Alittle frustrating. Not their fault. Open air buses which was nice when driving but when sitting still hot! Bring waters or have money to buy when you make stops. Bring snacks as you will get hungry and no time to get a lunch (we did not know, and only found snacks at about 4 pm). Shopping could have been longer as not sure about you, but we are not Rolex type people. So had to hunt for souvenir type store among the fancy stores and be back in 1 hour. Sight seeing was interesting to see. The roads are crazy! So thankful I was not driving! The views were amazing. My husband and adult daughter got the banana daiquiri and we loved the view from the top. Megan’s bay…. Ended the day here. Wish it would have been earlier in the tour, as by the time we got there clouds came in and it was chilly. Less busy yes, but cooler. No sun at all. And a little dark. Made for a not so good impression on the beach that is supposed to be amazing. In all worth the day excursion for us 3 adults. Wear tennis shoes as you will be walking.

Tourist trap - Save your money. $60 to be driven from one shopping center to the next, ALL with overpriced crap from China. One of the guys yelled so much it was off putting and rude. I’m not sure what I paid for but I didn’t see anything worth $60.

Sunny Liston should be Sad Liston Tours! - This was our second time with Sunny--expected the same great experience as before--not! It was the shopping, sightseeing and beach tour--we shopped for a little over an hour and then all loaded into his bus and headed to the mountain top for a banana daiquiri. It started to rain and once he dropped us off we were told we could get a daiquiri and explore the store....$15 for a daiquiri and gift store--due to the rain the mountain top view was not great. Then we were to go to the beach--beware! If you happen to get out at the beach or want to swim they charge you $10 to swim (this fee was not disclosed when we signed up for the tour)--due to the rain though, we didn't go to the beach and missed it. So rather than offer to drop us back off downtown, he drove to another bar stop for the option of souvenirs and another $15 drink. There were NO beverages or even water offered on this tour. He plays the music so loud that you are BLOWN out of the bus and to make it worse he is loudly yipping and yelling--we all had headaches from this. Then rather than drop us back downtown or at the cruise port--he had one couple to drop off at a resort, and chose to drag us to drop them off to the Marriott hotel. All this tour was...was a glorified, pricey taxi ride. I reached out to them to say we never got to see the beach/visit the beach and there was no narration of key spots along the routes - they refused to refund. Sadly we cannot recommend, nor would we ever tour with Sunny again.

Never again! - Sunny Liston Tours no-showed me in St Thomas. I called both local numbers seeking help or information. The message said to text an address. I did. No reply and no call back. Now they are giving my agent the run around regarding my refund. This is not how one should conduct business.
