This was a good way to see a lot of the island in a short time on a cruise stop. Since we had limited time, our guide John was able... read more to adapt the tour to fit our needs. I would much rather support a local company like this than book through the cruise line. We enjoyed seeing the island this way. We had a nice lunch break in Marigot at the local French bakery, delicious! We made the trek around the island and were back in plenty of time. We opted to be dropped off at a beach close to the cruise port, while half of our group went straight to the ship. John was knowledgeable and accomodating. He had a cooler full of drinks for us, which made the ride more enjoyable.

  I love Bernards Tours and their drivers. Bernard is awesome as he took care of myself and 79 of my fellow passengers with an awesome 6 hour tour. Frank our... read more tour guide on my bus was awesome friendly and knowledgeable of the whole Island . Great time by all and loved loved loved it.

  Maho Beach was great for people watching from the fun and colorful SunSet Beach Bar. The beach itself was narrow and crowded (it may have been high tide), standing... read more room only. My husband and I enjoyed cold local beers "Dutch Blonde". The food served looked appetizing and plentiful. There is a one dollar charge to use the restrooms so have some singles handy. We witnessed numerous aircraft arriving and departing and sand blown beach goers as a result. The DJ was entertaining and engaged the patrons on the stage. Practice your hula hoop skills if you want a chance to spin the wheel for prizes. Unfortunately we weren't able to visit Orient Beach due to political unrest and civil demonstrations. Make sure you arrive for the tour using local island time and NOT ship time.

  We stopped in St. Marteen on Nov. 12, 2019 during our 14 day cruise. I'm travelling with my mom who is 78 and wanted an easy/less walking excursion to... read more enjoy with her.

I booked this excursion via Trip Advisor, more reasonable than the excursions offered by the cruise ship. I was alittle concerned wether the trip would be legit once I got there, like maybe the excursion company would not be present when we arrived.

What a pleasant experience. Not only were they ready for us, but the staff was just so pleasant. Especially our tour guide. I believe his hame was Charles/ or Daniel. I thought I had posted this review once back on the boat, but I just found out it did not post...so I apologize if I don't have your name correct. I will go with Daniel...Daniel was as polite and accomodating as could be. There were only five of us on the trip, instead of being herded like cattle on the cruise excursions.

Daniel tried to make the ride on the bumpy roads as smooth as possible. He shared so much local information...especially the history of the island, residency of the"rich and famous", nice restaurants, events since the hurricane.

We first stopped at Orient beach. He provided us with plenty of water (and beer for me) as we relaxed at the beach. Then on to Maho beach to watch the airplanes land. He found the most convenient place to park our comfortable, clean airconditioned van. Daniel made sure we could stay for a large jet to land before heading back to the cruise ship. Daniel assured us that we would be back in plenty of time before the ship departed, and he did.

Daniel was just a pleasant person, well spoken. We plan to return in 2020 and we will definitely be taking this same tour again, and hope to see Daniel again.

Sorry for the late review...it would be easy just to not post, but Daniel was worth the extra effort to receive the praise.
