Tour was great. Only... - Tour was great. Only negative was traffic, but that was not his fault. Always made sure everyone's questions were answered and we had a drink. Great excursion.

Nice beach day and tour - It was a great trip but beware the meeting point is at the EDC parking lot not the pier as shown in the Viator instructions.

Family Friendly Fun - We had a wonderful time on this excursion. We took our 4 children (8-16). Orient Beach was a beautiful beach and Maho Beach was a once in a lifetime event. Our tour guide referred to himself as “King” but I forgot his first name. He was fabulous! This was our favorite excursion we have done. Our guide was the best bus driver!

Only rain in a fortnight - Very good tour, pity we had a downpour for 50 minutes on Orient Beach. Because of roadworks our transfer to Maho beach took longer and our time there was reduced. The driver courier was good

Fantastic! - This was the perfect half day experience. Part of the day is spent relaxing at the beach, where chair rentals are $10 but come with an umbrella and a drink, and the next part is spent watching planes come in over Maho Beach. Unlike some other tours, you're pretty much guaranteed to be at Maho when big planes come in. Tip: Vendors that you visit on the tout prefer cash, but will accept credit cards with a minimum purchase (so definitely bring cash).

Terrible Bus Driver - The bus driver was very informative and answered all of our questions and seemed very knowledgeable. However…
1. He was sick and coughing most of the time
2. He was a HORRIBLE driver. I suffer from PTSD cause by a horrific accident I was in many years ago. I asked several times for him to slow down and pay attention and stay on his side of the road. I no sooner said “we’re going to get in an accident”, than he
Side swiped a sign on the side of the road.
Loud crashing noise and and busted out his side mirror.
That triggered my PTSD and the rest
Of my day was pretty much ruined.
But the stops and the information he gave was a “5” I just can’t give a 5 on the whole experience. The driving and him being sick was terrible.
