Love the private tour... - Love the private tour aspect. Our tour guide went at our pace. The only negative would be that it was hard to hear her at times since she didn’t use a speaker. Overall we had a good time.

Great way to see the Island! - This is an excellent way to see this beautiful Island in a short time. Our guide was so nice and accommodating to our preferences on where we wanted to spend more time and what our goal for the day was. We weren't rushed and we learned so much! He offered to take pictures of us anytime and took us to great photo spots. It was great having just my husband and myself with our guide so that it was truly individualized experience for us.

An awesome tour of St. Maarten - We took a 4+ hour tour with Nerline and it was fabulous! We went to Orient Beach, Marigot and the world famous Maho Beach where we saw some huge planes landing, and some smaller ones, too. If you LOVE airplanes then you can walk the beach and be right under the planes as they land… we chose the Sunset Bar with amazing fish tacos and fish sandwiches. The island was gorgeous and the best part of the trip (vs a taxi) was our driver, Nerline. She is local to St. Maarten and told us so many stories about many interesting places around the island. We could have ridden with her for many more hours and been fascinated with all of the details on the island… and the spectacular views! She also showed us some local wildlife including monkeys and big iguanas!

This is a must!’ - Stephanie was our driver. She took us to both sides of the island, and educated us on the history of the island. Fascinating! We highly recommend this tour!! Thanks, Stephanie for such a great few hours.

Alex is a star! - Despite a very unsettled and rainy day Alex our driver did an excellent job in making this a superb experience. There were severe problems at Maho Beach, the waves had thrown so much sand onto the road that one lane was closed, causing a long traffic queue. Alex showed great patience and determination to get us throughout to the low flying planes. Thank you Alex.

What a great day! - We had such a great time with our tour guide Nerline! We were a little worried about our start time, As we didn't account for the time change from Eastern to Atlantic Standard time. We contacted the tour operator and they assured us there were no worries. Nerline met us at our agreed apon meeting location. She was very friendly, down to earth, and knowledgeable about both sides of the island. Nerline made sure we were comfortable and shared her passions about St Maarteen. We went where we wanted to go and spend the amount of time we wanted to spend at each location, never feeling rushed or hurried. We had many questions about all aspects of St Maarteen life and culture and Nerline not only answered them, but went in depth to give us a greater appreciation for what makes St Maarteen great. I urge all who read this to give this tour a try, I don't think you'll regret it.

Island tour - There was a lot of ships in port so it was very crowded! Our only issue was the van we started in, the ac was broken and had to go get another one which was part of our tour.
