Way to see beautiful National Park - There are probably several tour companies that do this tour, but it is a great tour, giving you a taste of St. John and the beautiful National Park. There are a couple of stops with overlooks and then a stop at a beach. The tour guide made it interesting and fun. Want to go back and experience more of St. John.

Great trip - We loved our guide Kennth and his knowledge of the culture and island. We wanted more than a beach tour. Great surprise to learn so much! Thank you

Seeing the best sights of St. John - Kenneth was great and very knowledgeable! We had a great tour. Only thing I would change was that it was hard to hear him through the speaker.

Great way to see St. John - This tour provided us with a great overview of the island and its history. Having never been to the USVI, we were overwhelmed by the vast array of opportunities to explore. This tour allowed us to see a lot of what we wanted to see. We especially enjoyed the chance to explore the Annaberg ruins.

not worth the money - we got to share our tour with another 3 people who were on a different tour. They combine our tours to cheat each of us out of our own tours.

Didn’t get what we paid for - First of all Kenneth was a true gentleman, Kenneth’s taxi. The guys was great. However, I originally booked for 1:30 PM, and they called and asked if I could do 9:00 AM. I could not, and then I received an email that said 12:20 PM. We could do that. We arrived and Kenneth met us promptly at 12:20, again a great guy. The tour was good, but ended an hour early. So we paid for a half day tour and only received 2 hours. Buyer beware. I hope that TripAdvisor makes it right. I would say if you do go to St John’s see out Kenneth’s taxi. Down to earth, great guy!

Worthless tour -waste of money - They did not do whatever they promised for the tour and paid for the tour. The tour ended in approximately 1.5 hours just taking in the tour vehicle and going thru the national park ( no stops), thru the sugar plantation- 15 min stop , going thru the trunk bay - no stop and returned to Cruze bay dock. Not recommended for any one- pure waste of money.
