Knowledgeable tour guide! A good deal - Very knowledgeable tour guide! He was also friendly and gave us plenty of time to see everything. I think the tour may have even run a bit longer than what attemdees paid for. Ideas for the future: Ask people if anything else interests them. I know he has the knowledge he has and may not be able to answer, but I would have for example loved to have known about the animal shelter started in 1957, or whether or not there are free eggs all over the island from the many wild chickens! As opposed to knowing that Home Depot was to our right, and the location of every government housing project. (Though the ONE that was in a remote neighborhood WAS interesting because that one broke from the norm.) PS Personally I would've preferred seeing the red castle from the road only, because the park it's in is full of fleas or something like it.

Book This Tour ASAP - Mr. Godfrey is an excellent tour guide. He's been doing this for many years and had the best rate. He took his time with us and have us all the don't local shopping tips and was very knowledgeable. I'd recommend to do this tour as soon as possible to learn about shopping places for souvenirs, help plan your visit as you will see all the main beaches and learn the history. Lastly, we weren't rushed, he was patient, kind and very professional. Everyone enjoyed the tour. FYI .. If you're staying in condos it is very hard for the tour bus to navigate through the property. Therefore, you may have to meet him in an area/property that is more conducive for wide turns.

Very nice tour - We very much enjoyed seeing and experiencing St. Thomas on this tour. Godfrey was our guide, and he was very cordial and informative. He also shared some very cold drinks on a very hot day, which was well appreciated. The ride to the Mountaintop was beautiful and because of the blooming flowers along the way, the air smelled so fresh, which was a bonus. The banana daiquiri was also very tasty. Godfrey shared a lot of history about St. Thomas. Overall, a very good tour and nice overview of the island.

Godfrey Tour - Godfrey was so wonderful as a guide. He knows it all about the islands. He furnished drinks and snacks and was so accommodating! We loved this tour. Would be 5 stars but for the sound system. Sometimes it was garbled and hard to understand what he was saying.
