Fantastic driver, punctual tour - We used Amber tours and the driver was exceptional. The unexpected walkthrough of the history of St Maarten was greatly appreciated, as was the rum punch. They were also punctual both ways which was really professional and unlike some other tours we have been on. I would highly recommend them. Maho beach is ridiculous, so packed, but so worth it, the plane spotting is truly spectacular. The beach is so crowded and over priced, but we expected that and we had a great 4hra there as a family. Be warned the sea is very very rough, it knocked me flat out, so be careful.

Great tour, as expected. 3.5+ hours at the beach. See review for directions in the port! - Great tour and as expected. We left the meeting area exactly at 10am and arrived at the beach about 11:00. We had until 2:45 to experience the beach. We got back about 3:45 (the drive back is a bit shorter, but you stop for pictures at tourist spot). The description needs to do a better job explaining where to meet. Without other comments, you wouldn’t know where to go. Instructions: - Leave the ship - Look for signs or ask how to get to the EDC parking area. - Once you get to the gate, ask for Amigo tours and look for the purple shirts.

Great tour! App meeting point completely wrong! - It's exactly as described, driver very friendly and knowledgeable of the island. Just don't follow the directions given by the app to the meeting point! Are completely wrong! It's in the EDC parking lot north of the terminal, guys with purple shirts

Good when I found meeting point!! - It wasn’t easy to find where to meet and it was run by Amigo tours (Viator are an agent) the details of the trip were changed and it was much longer (caught a cab back after 4 hours) but driver Raphael was excellent

NYE Cruise 2024 - Booking through Viator was easy and convenient! The people at Amigo tours were super friendly. Our driver, Richie, was fantastic - funny and friendly, he had the whole van laughing and singing.

Excellent - Excelent, very organize, on time and our driver Richie was the best. We went to the EDC parking lot and they have a desk where you tell the person your name and they check in. We went to Maho Beach stay for about 3 hours and our driver came back on time to take us to the cruise port. Totally recommended!

Plane Spotting at Maho Beach - Absolutely brilliant and informative tour guide. Awesome experience at Maho Beach watching the jets take off and land.

Convenient Transport to Maho Beach--beware of the traffic! - "King Dennis" was a great guide and got us to our destination safely. The biggest complaint I have is the amount of traffic. Advice: If there are more than 3 ships in port, consider skipping this tour, as it took us over an hour to get back to the port (even though the initial communication with the tour company stated it would only be 15-20 min to our destination.

Terrible experience - We walked more than 30 minutes with the kids to the meeting point, there was nobody there, and the people that was there said, they always see people there looking for some place that’s not exist. Terrible experience!!!
