St. John’s is lovely - The view on the drive through St. John’s was spectacular. The history of Annaberg most interesting and the highlight was a few hours spent relaxing at Trunk Bay with the noodles we brought along. Snorkeling was exciting as we saw fish and a stingray!

Beautiful Scenery & Excellent History - Kenneth is such a knowledgeable and resourceful tour guide! We learned so much of the history of St. John while driving around while enjoying the breathtaking views of the island. Got to take a swim at Trunk Bay. Beach is beautiful! Kenneth made this trip really enjoyable. I would definitely request Kenneth as a tour guide again! Thanks Kenneth for a beautiful day!

It was alright - The Taxi driver and the tour guide were good, we drove every inch of St John’s but don’t stop at one beach, we drove by quickly as Kenneth pointed them out. Also be aware that your tour doesn’t include the ferry over to and back from St John so book your ticket ahead of time and skip the line.

Feeling cheated - The time with Kenneth was great but we feel cheated that we missed 2 hours of our beach time. He had two different tours scheduled at the same time. We had paid for the 5 hour tour and the other couple a lesser tour with no beach time. Kenneth told us to work it out because if we did t go back on the same ferry, one of us would have to pay for transportation back to the ship( we had arrived at the ferry with tbe same driver) We really had no choice but to compromise with 1 hour on tbe beach rather than the 3 we had paid for and this benefitted the other couple who had paid for no beach time. Poor planning on someone’s part.

Terrible - We were on a cruise that stopped for the day in St. Thomas. We booked the tour to St. John. While waiting to depart the ship the tour guide called me and told me if I wasn't there in 5 minutes he was leaving without me. Strike one. Then we run to the meeting spot and get on the bus to go to the Ferry to St. John. It was a very long ride with a driver who I am sure lived under a bridge somewhere. We paid the money for the Ferry and that part was ok. It was a short ride to St. John on a nice day. Once we docked in St. John a different driver met us and it went WAY DOWNHILL from there. He was very unfriendly and it felt like any minute we were going to be taken hostage. Of course we weren't but that was the vibe. He stopped the bus and made a very big deal of grilling us on whether or not we were US Citizens and if we weren't there would be trouble. It was creepy. The sugar plantation turned out to be a small stone wall overgrown with weeds. I would never recommend this tour to anyone.
