Ok experience - We only made three stops. Learning about St. Thomas history was good but only 3 food and drink stops not worth the cost. The guide was nice.

The tour guide was... - The tour guide was knowledgeable and pleasant. There were 3 food stops. We liked the first two stops but amount of chicken was minimal, mostly just small bone. There should have been additional food stops and we did not think that last stop with root beer float reflected local culture.

St. Thomas is costly - We were at a timeshare which was nice but isolated. t is very expensive to get anywhere on St. Thomas by cab. They charge by the person and distance and to go to a beach Magen for instance, you also have to pay an entrance fee. Groceries are also costly. The weather was beautiful and the water was too.

Our guide did not show up! - Guide never showed up. We know he had our email address because he (Gerald) emailed the day before. We are furious. It was our last day of the cruise. After waiting 1/2 hour we gave up, and too late to hire someone else.

Waste of time. - I booked this tour a week in advance on my 10 year wedding anniversary and Thanksgiving. The tour was supposed to start at 10 am and we get to the meeting spot at 940 am and wait till 1015 am. No one shows. I even checked my email prior to be sure it wasn't canceled. My husband and I end up doing our own thing and when I get back to the ship I message the tour operator through viator. Gerald said he tried calling me to cancel the morning of because 2 restaurants were closed. No emails, no messages through viator. I get home to the states and no missed calls, and no voicemails. He never called. I did get a refund after I asked but wasted my morning.
