About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- sharonkS9009EV0 contributionsExcellent private tour for group of 13 friends from Cruise ShipDennis was an excellent tour guide! He explained the uniqueness of St. Maarten being Dutch and French. It was an off and on rainy day, but we still had a good tour! We stopped at Orient Beach, Maho Beach to watch the aircraft take off and land, and stopped at a border crossing for pictures standing 1/2 in the Netherlands and 1/2 in France! Highly recommend Dennis and his company.Written August 2, 2024
- bertrandbH5311VL0 contributionsOutstanding and InformativeThe tour and the tour guide were outstanding! Even though my wife and I have vacationed in Saint Martin on 10 occasions, he related history and information that we knew nothing about!Written July 30, 2024
- K3091OEvalerief0 contributionsGreat tour of St MaartenWe took a private tour with Alex of Red Rose tours, he was very friendly and showed us a great time. He took us to all of the places that we were interested in and even a few more that he knew about. He is very knowledgeable about his island and was eager to share it with us. We had a great time, learned a lot and Alex made it fun! We highly recommend Red Rose tours and would use them again. We visited there on May 9th, 2024 Thank you Alex!Written May 23, 2024
- haydenm6200 contributionsPrivate Transportation is the way to go!Red Rose Transportation helped make our time in St. Martin so memorable. We hired them for private transportation as we had a specific itinerary of things we wanted to see and do. Dennis was the man! He took us to every place we wanted to see and more! It really helped us utilize our time since our ship was only in port for a short time. Not only was Dennis a great driver, but he was so friendly and we learned so much history and current information about St. Martin. It was worth every penny to have that kind of individualized attention.Written April 29, 2024
- ranjavola180 contributionsAwesome tour!!!Great tour. Denis was awesome. Very knowledgeable and friendly. This company was just so accommodating and responsive. Highly recommend.Written March 14, 2024
- btI5401PF0 contributionsPrivate Driver & TourRed Rose Transportation & Tours is the BEST! Do not hessitate to contact Red Rose for your transportation and tour needs. We visited SXM for a long weekend of shopping and dining and hired Red Rose for our private transport. Thank you to Dennis and Kathy both were incredibly patient, professional (on-time) and friendly. THANK YOU!!Written January 22, 2024
- tomvT6860XG0 contributionsSt Martin/St Maarten private tour-DennisMy wife and I booked a half day private tour covering the Dutch and French halves of Sint Maarten/St. Martin. Dennis was our driver/guide. He was personable, knowledgeable and shared his love for the islands, giving us excellent insights re the island, its history and the people.Written January 20, 2024
- 491dianea0 contributionsExcellent, knowledgeable, and kind…My husband and I had an awesome private tour with Dennis, of the whole island. He was professional, kind, relaxed, warm and friendly. He was totally knowledgeable of the history as well as the locations since he was born here. He is also highly educated and easy to understand. I like to take a lot of pictures, and we both need fairly frequent bathroom stops, and he was very accommodating with both. He took us to a delicious restaurant on the ocean in Marigot, called Lolo’s. The grilled shark, and salad, were delicious and plenty for us to share, and very reasonable too. Dennis also picked us up at the airport, and we are having them drive us tomorrow to Phillipsburg, to shop, and then on to feed parrots at Parrot Ville. We’re using them for all of our transportation needs! Thank you Red Rose ToursWritten January 15, 2024
- robyncH1844TH0 contributionsExcellent Beach Excursion!It was an amazing experience Dre was absolutely fabulous and educational he explained all the different beaches in full detail very friendly made you feel comfortable Dre is definitely a keeper for all your tourism needs thank you for making our trip to St Marteen unforgettableWritten November 10, 2023
- karengT567AA0 contributionsGreat ExperienceLoved our driver! We got to see most of the island, visit some hidden sites, and ate the best food! I would highly recommend this tour.Written July 30, 2023
- Chad D0 contributionsVery reliable and informative!Dennis was an awesome driver and guide for our all day St. Martin adventure. He was so professional and informative and took care of getting us to all the places we wanted to see and on time for our reservations. Our group went in two different directions and he juggled it all with ease. He was great and we will definitely use Red Rose again.Written July 16, 2023
- preeyj0 contributionsProfessional private/VIP serviceOur guide was Dennis and he absolutely gets 5-stars! We arrived via cruise ship and we hired a private tour. Dennis picked us up from the cruise terminal, had a bus/van full of complimentary drinks, vehicle is we clean and air conditioned,and he drove us around the entire island. I had previously been to St. Maarten so I told him the highlights I wanted to hit. Along the way he went in details of the history of St Maarten/St Martin and provided jokes and overall made it a pleasant experience. After about 10 hours, he dropped us back off at the cruise terminal. This service was professional, communications via email always had quick responses, and payment options available via cash or card. I highly recommend and would use them again next time I’m in SXM.Written June 20, 2023
- donnettam1220 contributionsOur driver Dennis was phenomenal!!!My friends and I visited Sint Marteen in May and had an amazing time. The highlight of trip was our driver Dennis. After our first transport with Dennis on our first night on the island, we decided to use him for all of transportation needs. He made our experience seamless and fun. He was always on time, very knowledgeable about the island, and always had a smile on his face. At the end of our trip he had gotten each of us souvenir keychains. He was such a blessing and a major part of a great vacation! We can’t wait to visit him on the island again!Written June 16, 2023
- plantecshort0 contributionsGreat family tourThis was a fantastic tour. Dennis told us historical and cultural information about the island. He took us to fun spots on both the Dutch and French sides of the island. The tour is great for families or groups with a varying age range. Lunch was delicious. This is the perfect Sr. Maarten overview when you want to see as much as possible in a day.Written June 2, 2023
- Natalie M0 contributionsGood with minor issuesDriver had lots of information was very nice but would have like to get out and spend time taking photos at each place and not just some but a lot of things we just drove by. Beach was lovely happy to have a hour there’s overall not too bad would have been better of someone hadn’t ran into the tour van and they didn’t sit there and argue outside after. That was very uncomfortable for all. In future I would say add more stopping time even if just a few minutes to get out for photos. Driver very friendly thoughtWritten June 2, 2023

My wife and I were staying at a resort in the Cupecoy area and wanted to find a tour early in our trip so that we knew where we wanted to go during the week and what we wanted to see more of. It seemed most of the excursions were tailored to the cruise ships coming in on the opposite side of the island. This tour was willing to pick us up right at our resort. Dennis was our tour guide and was waiting in the lobby with a sign and my name, and even had a cooler of refreshments for us to enjoy. He was very knowledgeable of the history and kept us engaged. I highly recommend this tour and encourage doing it early in your stay if you are there for more than a day, or even if you're just here for the day. Enjoy!!!!

We decided on this trip rather than a ship tour and so glad we did.
Dennis collected us from the port in an air conditioned minibus (just us 2!) and stared our trip.
He was so friendly, informative, kind and funny with a great laugh!
We visited all the places mentioned in the tour description (Best of St Martin/St Maarten) with Dennis explaining so much as we went along.
He waited whilst we got pictures and didn’t hurry us or try to move us along.
He made the tour a magical day for us, especially when he found my husbands sunglasses after we had left and returned them to us before the ship left, thanks Dennis!
Do this tour when on the island, highly recommended!

Highly recommend Rose transportation/ tour company! As a solo female traveler, safety is priority. Rose responds promptly to questions , drivers are punctual , polite and knowledgeable. I felt very informed on the tour with Simane ! Simane took pictures of me with my device, recommended excellent food on the tour , and allowed me to feel safe exploring with Red Rose Transportation. I ended up booking the cab to the airport for the next day and met the owner . Rose is extremely humble, professional and kind. Will always recommend to others visiting !!

Our tour guide, Dennis, was fantastic. He was very personable and shared lots of information about the island and its history. The tour ran smoothly from an on time pickup at our hotel and continued superbly throughout the whole day. Dennis showed us most of the island, stopping at all the key highlights. If you’re wanting a good overview of the island, I highly recommend this tour and Dennis as the quite

We took this tour on our first day in Sint Maarten/Saint Martin so we could get and overview of the island. Our guide, Dennis, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the island. We learned so much and got to experience different areas on the Dutch side and the French side. Dennis made us feel like old friends!

I did the best prime tour with Drake and it was amazing. We saw so many great places, learned a lot about the island, and ate some great food. Drake was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. I'll always think of him when I see butterflies lol. I was nervous I wouldn't get to do any tours as a solo traveler since some have a minimum requirement, but they were able to put me with another couple and we had a blast. I will definitely book another tour with Red Rose Island next time I'm in St. Maarten.

The tour was AMAZING! The tour guide took his time to answer our questions and did NOT rush me!! He was extremely informative. He made sure we were comfortable. He entertained us with his little side stories about the island. It was a great tour and I would definitely recommend it to all my friends. (We are planning another trip to my husband's "happy place".)

Kathy was our tour guide and she was simply amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better guide through this beautiful island. We enjoyed seeing all the “tourist” stops, but she also gave us many ideas on where to go to experience the authentic experience. She was very patient and just all around had an awesome attitude. When they say this is a friendly island, they mean it, and Kathy embodied that. This is a must do while visiting!
