Simple, Pleasant tour🤩 - Great service! We got picked up and dropped off at our hotel other than the list. Robert was our drive for St Thomas side. He was fantastic😊 Kenneth was our driver and tour guide for St John. A great experience with a personal touch 🤩 I recommend the simple, pleasant St John tour!

Wonderful Experience! - This our first time in the St. John. Hamblet and Kenneth were both excellent. The whole experience was excellent. Trunk bay was a little crowded due to peak season. We can't wait to visit again.

Beautiful St. John - I took a St John tour too Trunk bay beach! The driver Kenneth stopped several times. To allow us to take pictures and I mentioned I needed ice and he stopped at a little convenience store. I recommended this tour the price I paid.

Take your own taxi - The beach was beautiful. Honestly all the taxi driver does is take you to the beach and pick you up later. You are better off getting a taxi from your hotel and then a taxi back. The cost is much much less. You can rent chairs for $10 at the beach and there is a drink and food shack.

Beautiful Trunk Bay - We love Trunk Bay and the snorkeling there. The drivers were nice and I felt safe with them. We only got two hours at the actual Trunk Bay location and I think that was because we had to spend a lot of time picking up the other folks on our tour at their hotel. And lots of time dropping them off afterwards. We were on a cruise. Admission to Trunk Bay was free so having that as part of the tour was misleading. We also picked up two random passengers from Trunk Bay and took them to another boat before heading back to our ferry. If I had to do it again I would take a taxi to the ferry and then taxi to Trunk Bay to have more time on the beach but if it’s your first time there and you’d like to learn a little history then I would recommend it.

St. John experience - I enjoyed my tour and the guide was informative and funny. I like that they gave us time to sightsee and take pictures along the way. Plus giving us time to relax on the beach as well.

Trunk Bay snorkeling - Trunk Bay snorkeling. We did not do the island tour, as didn't feel there would be enough time to snorkel the beautiful blue waters of Trunk Bay. The tour description needs to be more specific with what is included with the tour, as thought there would be a guide.

We have some problems here - The cab driver was at 'the Windmill' at 8:00 for an 8:30 departure. The instructions to get to the Windmill were erroneous. The Windmill is inside the shopping area at Crowne Bay. Not across the street. 30 minutes is way too short of a connection time to meet the 9:00 am ferry. 45 minutes should be the minimum connection time. (We ended up with literally 90 seconds to spare.) Also, on the St. John's side, the taxi driver left before all passengers were off the ferry. We had to call him back. Using 'Great Exploration Tours' as a sub-contracted carrier should be reviewed carefully. Our pier to Red Hook cab driver said he had made mention of this short connection time in the past, but got nowhere in having this effectively addressed. Although the driver warned us of the possible misconnect, and given that it was not his fault, I place fault squarely on the owners of this lack of communication / understanding. This experience ended up being quite stressful, and this should not have been.

Waste of money - This was a waste of money. You can ferry and explore St. John by yourself. They only communicate with you through email and you are only paying for hotel pick up and drop off which you can get a taxi for way cheaper.

Terrible - Just all around shady experience. Upon arriving to the island, had the driver hustle more people for the drive for at least 30 minutes. Super uncomfortable to sit there and wonder when he will feel like taking us to the beach. Asked him when we are heading to the beach more than once and he was very rude about it (apparently I had no right to know how long he plans on having us chill on the street). Note I had a child with me. Only get 2h on the beach. The weather was bad for several days so you could not snorkel, but no one mentioned that until we got there. Really could have done the same thing on my own for less than a quarter of the price. You don't actually have a guide. Not sure why that is advertised as a part of the experience. So in a nutshell avoid the drama. There is nothing this experience offers that you can't do better on your own.
