Comprehensive tour from knowledgeable and friendly local guide. - Shawn communicated in advance with detailed meeting instructions. We found him easily and he escorted us to his large clean van with excellent A/C. Shawn is a native with extensive knowledge about the history of the island. He provided a running commentary with interesting facts. He took us to multiple beaches, a shopping area, and lookouts. Shawn waited patiently at each stop and provided clear explanations on the times to return to the van. He is proud of his island as he should be and has high hopes for the future of his island and his business.

Fun Tour! - Nerline was a fun and informative guide. We were a cruise and booked the "Magical Tour" for a 1/2 day. We saw so many wonderful sights and never felt rushed. We also had enough time to enjoy a delicious lunch in Grand Case. Would highly recommend.

Amazing tour with our guide Nerline - Nerline Green was our guide in March 2024, when we visited on Carnival Cruise, she was amazing, very accommodating, especially for my grandmother who uses a walker. Will definitely book again!

Informative and Super Fun Way to Get to Know St. Martin Island - Nerline was such a joy and super friendly! She took us around beautiful St. Martin Island sharing the history, poignant monuments, hot spots/shopping, exquisite beaches and delicious restaurants! We couldn't believe it ended up being a private van tour! It helped us tremendously to get our bearings and a fun way to immerse ourselves in each of the countries and to decide how we wanted to spend the remainder of our vacation. Thank you again for your kindness, Nerline, you were the best!
