What travelers are saying
Our tour guide - Mailman - was fantastic! Very knowledgeable about all things St Maarten & humorous too! Definitely recommend this tour!
It was a nice tour of both parts of the island. Multiple stops for photos. I was able to check out two beaches and had enough time to get a snack.
Very nice tour. The guide was very helpful and his commentary was excellent. The van was quite comfortable . Highly recommend this tour.
We absolutely loved the tour guide and the tour. He was very knowledgeable about everything we needed to know. All the stops that were made gave us time to reflect. He was never in a rush or just drive by spots. The beach was crowded (Mahó) but its an attraction. He also had the best “punch”! Thank you. Next time will do more of the tour.
Enjoyed our tour.
What a great way to view all the high points of the island! Our driver/guide "Sexy" was very informative and fun. The air conditioned van and drinks were a nice touch as well. If you are looking for a way to see as much as you can during a port stop, this is the tour for you!
Great driver and transportation. Some stops felt unnecessary. Needed more time on the beach and to shop.
Bernard's always does a great job. Truly for the small price, a great way to see St Maarten. We have done this tour twice in the past 10 years.
