• 5Awesome for family/friend groups!!

  This private tour was awesome! And our driver and tour guide, Desmond, was excellent. He took us to all the hot spots on the island and allowed us to stop when we wanted for pictures, shopping, food, etc. he even recommended a great beach for us to snorkel at. He went out of his way to come back and pick up a couple members of our group early from the beach when they started feeling overheated and still was happy to come back later for the rest of us. Definitely recommend this tour and will use again next time I’m on the island!!

• 5Highly recommend this tour!

  Sharon gave us the best experience in St Thomas on our 6-hour tour as we were in port for a cruise day!!!! She was so very friendly and gave us so much history of St Thomas! It is one of the best tours we’ve taken. I highly recommend it. We were a family of 6 and having transportation with A/C IN June was a mistake! Thanks Sharon for an amazing day!

• 5Best Service in St Thomas

  Desmond was the Best!!! St Thomas had a Annual Celebration so we couldn't go down town, but Desmond made up for it by showing and telling us about interesting facts about the Island and surrounding island, Desmond was on time, nice, knowledgeable, FUNNY, had a great sence of humor, a great driver and i will go as far as to call him a friend now, WHEN we come back we will be using Raymonds Taxi Service and we will ask for Desmond, not saying all drivers are not great, probably are but we got Desmond first and we will request him any time we are there. the island is Beautiful and he showed us why. Thank you Desmond for a great tour and a wonderful day in St Thomas, we got back to our Ship with time to spare which we needed to see some of the shops at port.

• 2Disappointing and Unprofessional Experience

  We booked a private 6-hour tour in St. Thomas expecting a high-quality, organized island experience, but unfortunately, the service did not meet expectations. The guide was completely unaware of our booked itinerary, assuming we had only a 4-hour tour rather than the 6 hours we paid for. The tour lacked any professional engagement and there was very little commentary or information shared about the island’s history or landmarks. More concerningly, after our first stop, the guide picked up his daughter, who remained in the van for the rest of the day. While he mentioned she was training to be a driver, we did not appreciate having an unannounced passenger on what was booked as a private tour and she clearly had no interest in training to be a driver. While we did get to see a lookout point, Mountain Top for daiquiris, and snorkeling at Brewers Bay Beach, the entire day felt disorganized and lacked the hospitality you expect from a private booking. We would not recommend this service if you are looking for an informative or professional tour of the island.

• 5St Clair and Robert were...

  St Clair and Robert were great. Although don't take their advice and go to Coki Beach if you have young kids, it's too rough. Stick with Megan's Bay. Our family of 10 (5 adults and 5 young kids) had a great time.

• 2Driver didn’t show. I...

  Driver didn’t show. I called and he wasn’t aware of the booking. He quickly made his way to us 30 mins after the initial reservation time. He then didn’t have the itinerary provided by Viator. He was nice but I was already frustrated.

About Cruz Bay

Cruz Bay is the small ferry town and main settlement of St John in the US Virgin Islands, the gateway to a national park of beaches, reefs and hills.

Cruz Bay sits on the west coast of St John, the smallest of the three main US Virgin Islands, with pastel buildings, shops and bars around a small harbour. Ferries link it to Red Hook on St Thomas, and the town is the gateway to Virgin Islands National Park, which covers more than half of the island. The Danish West Indies, as the islands were once called, were sold to the United States in 1917, and Danish-built walls and sugar-mill ruins survive.
