Overall rating

4.5
(91 reviews)

Our guide Chris was great, he told us a lot along the way, was funny and in a good mood. I would have liked to have stayed longer on the beach, but at the last stop in Philippsburg I think it would have been better if people could decide whether they wanted to stay in the city or go straight back to the ship. But the trip is definitely recommended.

We've booked the private tour with Amigo Tours and was able to hit the places we wanted visit and take as much time as we wanted. Parents and kids are all having fun. I would certainly book again next time visiting St. Maarten

A great day with a great guide. Franklyn was great, he gave us lots of interesting information and we learned a lot about the island. Highly recommended!

It was a small group of people we all got on so well we even decided to have lunch together

Good package! Similar to a HopOnHopOff mini bus. Our guide Chris was great!
