Wife and I were in Royal Caribbean cruise, took Bernard’s tours because offered a lot of sightseeing for less money than cruise excursion. Our driver was DJ, and he provided a great experience driving us around the island, giving us detailed information about places and ensuring a good timing for each stop to stay on track and back to the port on time. Definitely we recommend this option for first timers, next time we go to Saint Marteen we know where to go and spend more time, like Orient and Maho beach for us.

St Maarten did not permit us to dock so our shore excursion never took place. We hope our $76.94 is returned.

This was our 2nd time working with Jo. He provided us with details on how to meet him at the cruise port. He introduced us to our driver and told us to have a great day. We had previously worked out a schedule with Jo in advance of where we all wanted to go for the day. There were 6 of us and we had a private bus to ourselves for a very reasonable cost. They provided us with water, beer, and rum punch on the bus. We toured the whole island, Orient Bay for some beach time, Grand Case for lunch at the lolos, Maho for some airplane beach time and Philipsburg for some shopping and afternoon snacks and drinks time. We departed in Philipsburg so we had to find our own way back to the ship based on the time frame we paid for. All and all it was a great day, the traffic in Simpson Bay set us back a bit so we didn’t have time for all of our stops. Our group are all craft beer lovers, so we asked our 1st stop to be the new island brewery called Caribbean Brewing Company. Our driver was not aware of the brewery, but we researched ahead and guided him to the location.

We went at Tri-Sport to rent bikes and finally rented electric bikes for 2 weeks. We couldn't have taken a better decision. The advices we had from the shop were great and we had fun for 2 weeks, those ebikes are great. Probably the best way to visit the island. 2 thumbs up for the team, we will be back as recurrent customers. Philippe and Sherril.
