Overview of St. Thomas - We had Godfrey for a tour guide and he did a great job. The tour showed us what we needed to see. Connecting ahead of time to clarify where to be picked up was a little slow but otherwise the time was good for all.

St. Thomas Excursion - Air Force One knowledge of St. Thomas was unbelievable! He was a great tour guide. The only downfall was that we were hoping for an open air taxi, instead of a van.

Good tour - It is a traditional open bus as the picture shows so bring fans and hats to keep cool. The driver was very knowledgeable about everything and we were able to get off for 1 hour and 35 minutes to shop and walk around before we got back on.

Good overview of the island - Other than some rain while on the trip, it was very good. Our guide was very informative and was a great driver as well. The trip length was just right with the guide getting us back to our ship with about 30 minutes to spare. There were some picturesque spots to take photos. The only downside was our stop for lunch. Restaurants were totally unprepared for the crowds and could not prepare and serve people in a timely manner. We ended up not eating.

Intro to Island - This was a nice intro to the island. Our tour guide had a good amount of info to share. It is hard to get in touch with the company for info but rest assured by the day before/morning of they will text with info on pick up, etc. Also slightly hard to hear info on the tour bus, but at the stops all info was repeated. Good photo ops available. Snacks and water and soda was available and included in the price. Overall an okay way to get acquainted with the island. Remember to tip your tour guides!

NOLA Couple Reports Great Tour & Scenic Views - We enjoyed Mr. Godfrey’s tour! We got to travel on his tour guide bus to sight-see amazing scenic views that St. Thomas Virgin Island has to offer around the entire island. He was very informative about the history of US STVI, but we couldn’t always hear him speak clearly through his statically sound system. Overall, the tour was a great experience for shopping, seeing beautiful beaches and scenic views around the island!

Hard to hear. - Hard to hear the narrative when the driver was talking due to the wind and muffled speaker. Lots of history about hurricanes,

Not a fun tour - We booked this tour with Godfrey tours but ended up on a tour with Lovebug. That was all fine, but he combined two tours into one. One ours was to go to the top of the mountain for banana daiquiris, and the other was to go to Megan's Bay. Instead of taking the people to the beach first he went up the mountain, all the while the others were edging us to hurry up. Then when we got to the beach, he offered to let us stay, but since we didn't have our bathing suits we choose to go back to the boat. The vehicle was awful and put my back out of Wack. I would not recommend this tour just take a taxi it would be cheaper.
