Great bike tour - Fabulous tour with Marcie and Benson with a great crowd. Not too challenging, felt safe , saw a lot of the island and learnt about the history. One of the best tours we've done by bike. Thank you

Historic Philipsburg by bike - fabulous tour - We did this bike tour (without beach time) with Benson as our guide off a cruise ship. You should be reasonably comfortable on a bike, but everything was explained well by Benson (listen to his explanation of the gears to use on hills, there is a short one near the beginning), and we had a test ride round the car park to ensure everyone was happy with their bike. The tour was great and Benson had great knowledge to make it interesting. We were lucky to see a monkey and iguanas. The equipment supplied was of a very good standard and I wouldn't hesitate to book with Tri Sports again.

Beautiful and Knowledgeable Bike Ride - Jenel and Benson did a fantastic job guiding us through Phillipsburg. They were incredibly knowledgeable and when a member of our group wasn't feeling well they took great care and were so patient until they were able to get back on the bike. We would highly recommend this tour and this team!

Historical bike tour - Guide knowledgeable and friendly. Bike fine and road safety explained and gears tested before we set off. Only 5 on our tour so it felt really personal. It was a gentle ride as advertised and very interesting.

Biking through St. Maarten - A great experience and learned a lot about the island. My guides were excellent, funny and very knowledgeable. They also made sure the tour group was safe when crossing roads and checked in to make sure everyone was doing ok. Highly recommend! The ride was enjoyable and not not very difficult. Anyone familiar with riding can do it. If you are looking for a fun experience, book this tour! The rum punch near the end was a nice bonus!
