We had DJ as our driver. My husband and I along with our 3 children (ages 8, 14, and 18) had a private tour of the island. It was probably the favorite part of our entire vacation. DJ knew so much information about his island and made the entire day so much fun. We were able to hit 2 beaches... More

Did tour #2 and easily one of the best tours I have been on. Mailman, our guide was funny and interesting giving us lots of information about the local life. Free flowing rum punch and beer made for a lot of happy people on our trip. Great stops with time at Orient Beach & Maho Beach to watch the planes... More

We booked the Island tour II with Bernard. We were told to be on time because time is very important considering we have so many places to cover in half a day. We checked in at the kiosk over half an hour before scheduled departure of 9 am but did not get to leave until after 9.30 am. There were... More

We had a fabulous time! This was the perfect way to get a sampling of the island. The stops were all timed perfectly - we never felt rushed or like we were there too long. The free drinks (rum punch, beer, sodas and bottled water) were plentiful and freely given. The beaches were beautiful and the experiences were more than... More

Second time with Bernanrds. Our normal trip was complicated because my husband and son were diving at Grand Case. Bernanrds made this easy by including them in our tour of 9 and dropping them off before the rest of us went to Orient Beach then picking them up afterwards. Thank you again. Had a private tour as you can tell... More

My group had David as our guide. He was EXCELLENT! When everyone on the tour agreed, he took us around even longer than the scheduled time. He was a font of interesting knowledge and recommended a great restaurant for lunch as well.

We had "Sexy" as a driver. He knows his job. We were sufficiently informed about the island. Orient beach is beautiful and at Maho beach flying large aircrafts narrowly over your head...

Excellent tour made all the more enjoyable by our wonderful guide Fitzroy. He was so funny, informative, kind and he loves animals which made him just perfect. We saw everything we could have hoped for on the island (went for tour #1) including the big planes landing at Maho beach and had some fabulous pastries at Sarafina's in Marigot. We... More

This tour was awesome. There were only 6 people on our tour so it was very personal. We got a great history of the Island. We chose tour #1 which had more shopping less beach time. It was perfect. We got to eat lunch and do some shopping in Marigot. Don't miss Sarafina's for some great French baked goods. We... More

We took a private tour with David and had a wonderful day seeing a variety of places on this beautiful island. We were glad to have the private tour so that we could dictate the timing of our stops. David was friendly, funny and very informative, as well as a safe driver. He obviously takes great pride in his island... More
