This is the perfect partial day tour!!! - This is an absolutely perfect tour if you have short time in St John & want to see as much of the beautiful scenery & still have time to enjoy Trunk Bay! The driver guide, Kenneth, was so easy to meet with at the designated time & place …and the tour was fun, informative, with stunning views of beaches and nearby islands was breathtaking! I highly recommend this tour guide & this tour!

Great St John tour and Trunk Bay snorkeling - Great tour. Picked us up at the resort, took us to the island ferry. Kenneth was waiting on St John when our ferry arrived. He drove us around St John, pointing out key points and stopping at overlooks. He dropped us at Trunk Bay and picked us up after a couple hours. Great snorkeling and relaxing on the beach. Kenneth dropped us off by the ferry with plenty of time to shop and get a late lunch. When our group got back on the ferry to St Thomas he contacted a driver that was waiting on us when we arrived. He took us back to the resort for drop off.

National Park #53!!! - The best part of the trip was Trunk Bay. The beach is amazing and the best beach I have ever been on. We were supposed to get 2 hours at the beach and only received 1 hour there. The tour of the island was nice but there were items we didn't need to see, such as the back of Kenny Chesney's house. The views where we stopped were beautiful. We talked to our tour operator, Kenneth, about stopping at the National Park Visitor Center on our way back to the ferry. He agreed to do it but only gave us 5-8 minutes there. Our only reason for going on our cruise and subsequently this tour, was to visit the national park as we are trying to visit all 63 national parks. It was a good tour, but we could have had more time at the beach as promised in the description. Also, you are able to get your National Park stamp at Trunk Bay. So you don't have to take the tour where you drive around the island unless you want to.

St Johns a paradise, with some needs - Beautiful place, very punctual with everything, it is important to note that we were informed that the hospital has not functioned since a hurricane a few months ago. Just basic care. They should attend to the issue so that more tourism like us decide to come back and stay longer! Message to the governors! The place is a paradise! Thank you!!!

It was okay, but not worth the price since we didn’t do much - It was an okay tour, but I expected to see more of the cultural aspects of the island. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We toured an old sugar cane plantation and spent time on the beach. The rest of the tour was just riding around the perimeter of the island looking at the beaches from a distance. I would have liked to have seen the town and get a sense of the culture there even though it’s a small island. Since we had to pay for our own ferry ride from St. Thomas, I really don’t think the price was worth what we did.

Cruise Ship Passagers Beware! - We all know that if you’re on a cruise ship you have a time schedule i booked a tour with this company to go from St Thomas to St John’s. Tour was supposed to be from 9 AM-1 PM all aboard time for Princess was 4:30 PM. We was not put back on the Ferry from ST John’s until 3:00PM with a 20 minute ferry ride and a 30 minute bus ride back to the port! I was not happy about this but when I contacted the company I was called a racist, and a liar! They also claimed that Princess changed the port time which they did NOT! Was the same time when I booked the cruise! As you can read from the other complaints it’s never their fault! So learn from my mistake and read the reviews especially if your arriving by cruise ship!! I will attach my receipt for the tour in the pictures

Operator did not let me... - Operator did not let me know we were on the wrong island even though I specifically told him the ship and times. I asked for a map which might have helped me realiize location. Never received. Very disappointed and feel a refund should be given. This was for 3 people. A large loss if $$$

The driver cancelled this... - The driver cancelled this trip by screaming at us that he would not take us because it was just the two of us. Where is my damn refund?
