Awesome small group tours! - We went on 3 Seagrape Tours during our stay in Saint Martin, the History, Museum beach lunch and Cultural Heritage. We had wonderful tour guides; Jon, Ellie and Nascha. All were knowledgeable of the island and shared a wealth of the history. We saw and experienced more than we imagined on each tour. The lunch at Aloha on Orient Beach was delicious. The small group of 6 or less was also perfect for us. We would recommend any of these tours.

Amazing tour - Werner took us on a great tour of the island, providing us with context the entire time. We learned so much about the history of the island, and about current events as well. He also brought homemade banana bread and lemongrass tea. Werner was very knowledgeable and easy going. 💯% recommended!

Great small group tour with a very knowledgeable guide! - John was a great tour guide. As advertised it was a small group with a very knowledgeable guide. I definitely saw spots I would not have on the big bus tours and got have great conversations with a local guide as well as my fellow participants. The Banana Bread/Cake was also very delicious!! Highly Recommend.

St. Martin/St. Maarten transportation of the highest quality. - Instead of renting a car as we have done for over two decades, we decided to use a driver. First of all, it cost us less than a car rental because we spend most of our day on the beach. We used Anne-Marie. You can find her by looking for airport transfers on trip advisor. Her ad shows the front of a black limo. I am recommending her because she was punctual, always there when we needed her in an extremely pleasant person. I recommend her to anyone who is going to the island.

Third Time Is Still A Charm With Seagrape Tours - This is the third time we have booked with Seagrape Tours. St. Martin is one of our favorite Caribbean islands. This time, since my father was along on his first cruise, we booked the History Tour, as my dad's a history buff. Charles was our guide on this tour. While enjoying Charles' vast knowledge of St. Marten's fascinating history and culture, we were taken to some beautiful places with spectacular views. Due to my dad's mobility issues we had to curtail the activities that required a lot of stairs and inclines, but Charles was happy to accommodate us and gave us a narrative on what we weren't able to see. We enjoyed a snack of homemade banana bread and lemongrass tea - I am thrilled you still do this - which was a refreshing break on our tour. Thank you Seagrape tours for helping to make this trip, a trip of a lifetime for my dad. See you again on our next trip to beautiful St. Martin.

Not a lot to see, but the local tour guide did provide some interesting discussion - Started off very interesting but seemed to wane as there is not a lot to see in St. Maarten. Only got a glass of water as beverage even though it was super hot. The banana cake as promised was very very good - one of the highlights of the tour. The Natural Museum is a waste and should be removed from the tour.
