Things to do in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas: The Best Day Trips from

December 30, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

The largest city in the U.S. Virgin Islands is a popular shopping center, home to 20,000 people, upscale shops, ecotours and underwater safaris. This former haunt of pirate ships now hosts millions of cruise passengers every year. Look beyond the boutiques and discover historic sights such as the bright red, 17th-century Fort Christian, the graceful green Legislature Building, the 1793 brick Lutheran Church and the taxing 99 steps stairway. Charlotte Amalie is easy to explore on foot.

We were picked up promptly and on time from the airport in a large passenger van, and our tour of the island began with some shopping in Charlotte Amelia, followed by some site seeing of the beautiful island. Slightly disappointed as I was hoping for a lunch stop or a bite to eat. Otherwise, the tour and our driver Mr. Sunny was great! Our tour ended being dropped off at our resort in time for a late afternoon check-in.

Just arrived back to the states from USVI for a bachelorette party for a friend. There were 7 of us total, and we stayed in RedHook for the short time we were there. I found PT on Google and saw the great reviews ~ so we chose to go with them for the airport and all week to and from locations for our trip. Excellent decision! Big Moe waited a long time for us as our check bags were delayed coming out. Even sacrificed other rides to wait 1+ hours for us. Very quick to reply and very efficient. Always available (or someone is available) for an ASAP trip to a dinner venue, ferry dock, etc. Would highly suggest airport and all stay transport. Thanks Moe & Paradise Taxi team!

The day before my tour, I reached out to make sure the tour was still on as I hadn’t gotten any confirmation. They texted me late in the evening saying they would be picking me up 15 minutes early. The morning of the tour, the pickup time came and went. I reached out to them and they were like “Oh yeah, we forgot you. We didn’t have time to come get you”. What??? The tour guide told me to get a cab to meet them at a location downtown. The whole pickup experience was ridiculous. I was able to connect with the group downtown and the guide reimbursed me for the cab, but it was not a good start to my day and I missed an hour of the experience. The same had happened to other people as well. If you don’t have time to pick someone up, tell them earlier, don’t offer it was part of the tour, or leave enough time to pick everyone up. I do not recommend this tour.
