Can't go wrong! - My second favorite place to go (St John is the blue ribbon spot!). Beaches are all perfect, food is great, people are amazing!

Very informative - Took a young tech person to install on my phone--very difficult for me. But once on it was very informative-- easy to start and stop at each site described. Way too long to walk unless very fit and would be easy to drive and park if possible. Cost very reasonable.

Horrible experience with St. Thomas US Virgin Islands - Recently spent 7 days and 7 nights in St. Thomas sadly the hype did not live up to the expectation. We were completely shocked by the culture upon arriving on this island. It started at the airport upon checking at Avis car rental facility. Despite of booking and reserving a vehicle in advance as I often do for all my business travel, was disappointed to have to wait for nearly an hour for our vehicle. The car rental parking lot is about 1/2 mile from the rental counter, had to walk and roll our luggage over unpaved terrain covered with gravel rocks. The car we ended up having was filthy with worn out tires, had visible damages through out the vehicle. Totally different than my experience with Avis vehicles we have rented in other places. It seems like every human encounter had chips on their shoulders, most are downright rude and simply did not show any appreciation for our business. Most beaches are covered with sargassum and are not swimmable. St John island was no different, most beaches lack shower and toilet facilities. Will definitely not return to this place.

Terrible - We pulled up to the starting location around 8:50 AM since the email told us the starting time is 9 AM. We get there and the place is closed. A waste of money on transportation. Currently waiting on a refund because the website showed no indication that the place was closed.
